   Hi All,   
      
   Sorry for cross-posting - I have no idea where else to look for info...   
      
   I've just inherited 3 stationary engines from my grandfather - a John Deere,   
   an IH McCormick Deering (with original owners manual & spare fuel tank), and   
   a Fairbanks Morse. They were all in (seemingly good) running condition as of   
   2 years ago - the JD & IH were fairly recently restored. I really know   
   nothing about these things & I will probably end up selling two of them. The   
   JD was his favorite and most recently restored, so I suspect I'll keep that   
   one. Can anyone tell me anything about them? Approximate value? Pointers on   
   where to look for more information?
