Iver Johnson

[Ross]

Yes Cory it is the engine from Ontario. I will send you an email with some poor quality pictures. My friend picked it up for me yesterday so I physically don't have it and I bought it based on the pictures I will send you. After the long weekend he will take some better pics for me. Hey, is anyone passing thru Hamilton going west to say...Winnipeg. Sure would like to have that engine at home to go thru it.

Good score Ross!!! So tell us... what kind of condition is it in? Is there a possibility that there may be more parts where you found it? I'm always curious on the story behind the "find"! . I'm looking forward to seeing pictures. I heard recently that there was an Iver twin for sale in Ontario, just an engine again though.

Dave, as far as I know the Iver Johnson that Barry knew about was hanging from the rafters of a barn. I think he's taken a run or two at it, but it's a "NOT FOR SALE" item!

i know 2 guys who have an on going standoff with iver parts. each one has what the other needs. it's almost half an half on the parts.neither one will move on selling to the other.good luck jumping into that parts pool.maybe in 20 years their grand kids will call you and sell the stuff.

I think that something Iver was discovered a few years back in Canada. I can't remember what. I think Barry Brown knew about it.

Just did a deal on a v twin Iver Johnson engine. Complete except for the mag. Probably a 1915. Shared some pics with a few close friends but they are poor quality.Will post some some new ones when I am able.What can the world tell me. Cory I know you love this stuff. I don't know if I'm blessed or just lucky. The folks I bought it from are great old bikers. It's a good day in Manitoba.
