  I have 8 stationary engines here. Two of them a J.F. Byers and they  are 
similar verticals to the Wachs engine. I have 3 boilers here and have one  
permanently installed in the engine house. If you want to see some PICS e mail  me 
off the list and I will send some. Don't let any one scare you too bad about  
the lap seam. If it is in good condition and has been hydroed to 1.5 times 
your  operating pressure it should be fine. If you search the boiler well you 
should  find some info. The flywheel should be easy to replace. I would replace 
it  before I attempted a repair. Get me some dimensions on the boiler and 
engine and  I will help you to try to determine HP. Bore, stroke. inlet diameter, 
boiler  height, width, number and size of flues ect.
