It seems to me that it is a power take off, some sort of small Rockford clutch. I could barely make out the engaging handle.

I tried the Evans coolant in a JD R. It did not work very good. The reason was the R was a thermosiphon system. The Evans would have worked if there was a coolant pump.

Have been lurking for a while. Because of this site and going to antique engine shows and seeing slow speed engines that are 40-50-60 yrs old still working and making sweet noise I was unduly influenced to invest in some retirement projects. Hopefully I will be able to get my Stover and FB diesels powering some kind of ST head. I also have a Oilwell e20 that followed me home from the scrap yard that I hope run off of a gasifier. When I was knee high to a grasshopper I managed to lose quite a few of my dad's tools taking things apart. I fondly remember a compressor site on the other side of the river about a quarter of a mile away that had some big one lungers and going to sleep on the sound of the exhaust. I apprieciate all the information that is available here and opens up new possibilities that I could include when/if I get to build my dream house/shop. Thanks

I recall reading somewhere on one persons house that they had radiant heat for the floor slab and then for cooling they had installed some kind of flat absorbtion plate chillers up near the ceilings with fancy controls to monitor humidty in the house so condensation would be eliminated. With a well insulated tight house there is also the need for air exchange to keep indoor polutants down. I think this house was located near Pueblo Co so there was not much outdoor humidity to begin with.

In regards to the old wiring, on the ship, be carefull as some wires of that age had abestos insulation.
