3 HP Bull's Eye

Here's a picture of my 3 HP Bull's Eye.  These engines were sold by Montgomery Ward and were built by Jacobson for Ward's.  This engine was used by my grandfather to unload loose hay into his barn.  The wagons were set on the barn floor and with the hay fork overhead in the roof peak.  The fork would be lifted with a heavy rope wrapped on a wooden drum that was driven by the engine.  The operator would stand on the hay wagon with another rope to tighten the idler pulley, thus turning the drum to lift the load.  It probably worked ok for a one-man operation.  I took the Bull's Eye out of the barn where my grandfather had left it in the late 50s.   I believe this engine was made in the early teens, but Montgomery Ward sold them between 1907 and 1915.
