brief history

Charleston Engines was founded by David Charleston in 1932 and was tasked with producing low cost but powerful tractor engines. The first engine CE25 was a tractor engine used for light use and was a massive sucess. The company exploded in profit and began to produce more engines using the name CE which stands for Charleston Engines and was produced between 1932 and 1947. The companys first line of engines used diesel and ethanol free and were commonly arranged in the I2 and I4 configuration, some engines like the CE134 was configured in W formation having 3 pistons. The best selling engine between 1940-1947 was the CE245 which was used in many tractors, semi's, and trucks and was know for being a really cheap but powerful engine due to the Intake System called the CEIS technology, it used nicer air filters and bigger intake pipes to allow for more air to get in the engine.
