New Way Stationary Engines

Aim - To serve and support the New Way Stationary Engine restoration community.
There was a New Way Stationary Motor inclined to Hit and Miss. It was designed that way but intermittently it would missfire and this in the confines of the beekeepers shed fired my imagination, grabbing my senses. I just loved the sound of the New Way 3.5Hp working - likely fuelled by a too rich mixture.
With each missfire came the tell tale puff of blue smoke and via the old sawbench, the beekeeping manufacturing business was underway, alive and well. Alf was in his element. Romance, nah, hard work but Hoots the New Way went a long way in firing the imagination of times past running in the present. The present, after all, that's where life is, it's not in the past, but romancing the past, that's the present if you're living it.
The priveledge of life. Present and past is now!!! - alive.

  • Ziegler was involved in construction mining and industrial equipment.
  • The Company produced AULTMAN PUMPS 
AULTMAN PUMPS

    • 2 - 5 H.P. Engine

Cover Page - AULTMAN PUMPS
This is yet another company that saw the benefits of utilizing the NEW WAY AIR COOLED ENGINE to drive or power their plant. 

Obviously reliability, quality and portability would have been strong selling points in the marrying of the 5 H.P. New Way power plant with Ziegler Machinery Company's Aultman Pumps.

You can download the document from the library or just by clicking the Aultman Pumps link here.

New Way Library Documents

D-25 Application List
3rd PARTY COMPANY PLANT 
- POWERED by NEW WAY
A cursory look at applications for New Way engines soon reveals that in its era the use of motor power was just really burgeoning. A period where, on the farm, most were transitioning from the horse to motor power.

Further, by design, the New Way presented the ideal power source by reason of air cooling and comparative light weight since no cumbersome, often spill-able, water reservoir was required for cooling.

New Way - STANDARD POWER
The New Way Motor Company's Engines were used as STANDARD power on a multitude of 3rd party propriety equipment as highlighted in the D-25 Catalog . This catalog  was recently added to the library and also featured the early Centaur Tractor.

D-25 included virtual myriads of uses for all sorts of industrial, commercial, marine and farm applications as shown in the extract at right.

PROPRIETARY DOCUMENTS
Recently more documents have been added to the Library of some 3rd party company's plant powered by New Way Motor Company engines. Many documents are compliments of the Historical Construction Equipment Association.

PLANT powered by "New Way":
[Mouse over titles - click to access documents]

Each of these 3rd party publications by statement and use, extol the virtues of various "New-Way" engines of the New Way Motor Company. Quality and reliability appear as reasoning behind the powering of their plant by "New-Way"

These are just some examples of 3rd party brochures featuring New Way engines. We know there must be many more that could be featured when they become available. A good example being the early Centaur Tractor that was powered by New Way 5 H.P. "CH" engines. Please note, there are quit a few of these tractors already listed in the registry. 

As noted earlier, these Centaurs' are also featured in the D-25 Catalog with a good pictorial representation. These machines really do represent dinosaurs in early small tractor development. Their spiked wheels readily reminding us of the Stegosaurus Dinosaur that many children are so familiar with today.

For any other 3rd party Company Brochures featuring "New Way" engines not listed here?
We would love to hear about it with a view to featuring it / them in the library. 
Just email geo.covey@gmail.com
