Diesel Building
A 75 hp Fairbanks Morse diesel, made in the 1920's, was used to power the Feed Mill in nearby Millerville, MN. It is a two-cycle oil engine with a 14" piston operating at 300 RPM, with a compressed air starting system. A 150 hp Fairbanks Morse diesel twin cylinder, also from the 1920's, ran a crane and air compressor in the Granite Quarry of Bellingham, MN.
