Buckeye Machine Company
Introduced about 1912, the Buckeye hopper-cooled engines were built in sizes from 1 to 25 horsepower. All sizes featured a fuel tank cast into the base. Another feature was the 78% grey iron and 22% steel composition of Buckeye engine cylinders. This gave a semi-steel cylinder with greatly extended life over ordinary cast iron construction.
history
By 1926 Buckeye was offering a line of heavy-duty engines ranging in size from 50 to 260 horsepower. Single-cylinder engines were built in 50, 65, 75, 90, 110, and 125 horsepower sizes. twin cylinder models of 160, 190, 230, and 260 horsepower were also built. These oil engines all used surface ignition and were of two-cycle design. The 260 horsepower model used a 19-inch bore and stroke with a rated speed of 200 RPM. Two 260-horsepower engines are shown here driving Westinghouse alternators.
