Lycoming engine fails! Pilot survives!

Lycoming started life manufacturing piston engines for automobiles and
marine applictions.

Guess their curraent engines are just auto conversions G

Just imagine how much traction this story would get if the thing had had a
auto conversion on it.

Actually, I thought their current engines are based on an engine used for
power generators.

My father-in-law has a Massey Ferguson tractor. The nameplate on the
engine indicates that it was manufactured by Continental in Kalamazoo,
MI. The logo is the same as on my Continental IO-470s.

Probably a Massey Harris, not a Massey Ferguson and, most likely, a model
101. Same company, but nothing similar to an aircraft engine. Up to about
20 years ago, guys slapped a turbo on them, revved them to about 5500 rpm,
and used them for tractor pullers. Stock they had about 50 hp, I've seen
them pull over 250 on a dyno running about 20 psi boost. Haven't seen one
modded up like that for years, though. Massey used a lot of Continentals
and Standard engines as well as their own engines back then.

Now that I think about it, though, I do think they used a Continental in the
135 and 235 series of MF tractors, 4 cylinders, something like 35 hp.
Anything bigger than that in MF, though, was either a Waukesha, Perkins, or
their own.

Massey used Continentals in a few things including combines and other
equipment.

Strange his N534S registration record does not show airworthiness
certificate yet. Was that his maiden flight?
