I saw this big old make or break motor at the Volusia County Fair. It puts out 87 hp.  Too bad it wasn't running  Angry

Here's a portable drill press make or break powered, kinda cool

I hope he doesn't get OCC to make a "modern version" like he did with that Brough Superior...

I'll bet it is 8.7 hp too.  They had huge torque though, and ran at really low rpm.  I'll bet it made 100 lb-ft of torque at 900 rpm.
