NYC Hudson steals the spotlight from thier Mohawk. Here is a vintage custom built Mohawk from Japan built late 40's early 50's.
Sheet brass boiler, cast chassis . Universal motor with mechanical reverse . Hand lettered .
Engine sat for 40+ years in a damp world ..so was frozen when purchased ...after several hours got her loose and running ...but loud! Worm has ball bearings at each end ..everything is well greased and oiled ...but still loud ...may need several more hours of break in time . Seems happy to be running ..even if loudly.
