Oreste Luciani Stationary Engine
Description
This type of stationary tractor was typically used in dairies.
This one in particular was used at the dairy of the estate in Funi in Zenerigolo (Bologna, Italy) until the 1960s.
Franco Risi has a specific memory of it from when, as a very young man (1946), he used to take milk to that dairy.
In 2000 it was purchased, restored and made fully operational.
The Watt-type regulator, pulleys and belt were restored.
