It won't run good laying over on its side.  You must have used a "smart" phone to take the picture. Would love to see that thing run.------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Didn't take pictures except for the engine. Engine runs real nice, they had a nickle sitting on it's edge on the base of engine while it was running. Start engine turning with air and it fires and runs on diesel. Some of the club members spent many hours going to SC taking out engine transporting to Newton, NC and pouring foundation and installing engine. I think they said it has a 11" bore with a 17" stroke.

| Had an engine similar to that at denton n c .Pulled a veneer machine .One time they had one belt from engine and two on veneer with a triple pulley in middle and pulley was swing in the air .Weight of pulley held tension on belts.Watch it run and think about and you wanted to back away .Any one else see it . |

Thanks, JC for uprighting pics. In second pic notice the silver dot below galvanized pipe, that's a nickle standing on edge while engine is running.
