Sta-Rite B2  2 1/2hp

Manufactured by Sta-Rite Engine Company. La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Sta-Rite started production in 1911, merged with Happy Farmer Tractor Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota, to form La Crosse Tractor Company in 1916. The company ceased trading in 1922

This engine, model B2 would have been a modification of the B1 and thus likely to have been manufactured in the latter part of the 1911 to 1916 period

Few engines survive today, only 2 of this model are known in the U.K.
