I'm sorry Flywheel!!!!!!!
My most humble apologies!!!   I just now made the mental connection. I had a severe lick on the head as a young man, as a result
I'm kinda slow sometimes.

no harm no foul, Randall

it appears everyone understands and no one is pissed off.

we have an interesting group here in my opinion, and

it would seem that to be a good DIY'er one would probably also be a type A personality as well.

i think we have a high density of type A folks on the forum, so there is likely to be some ruffles from time to time.

sort of like a family where brothers fight amongst themselves, but heaven help some outsider that decides to jump in

otherwise for the most part we all seem to tolerate each other pretty well here,  and even though we all might not agree on
everything, my bet is we would all sit down to a brew together should the opportunity present itself.

Wilson, looks like a hard working engine! What brand is it?

[wilson]

Amecco or Amec or Maseidelin

These are the various names that have been thrown around.  Know anything about them?

Not a clue!  Bob??  Flywheel??
Mine has parts with 3 or 4 manufacturers marks on them!  The counter weights are marked JD (Jiang Dong not John deere )
The oil pan has CF on it for changfa , and the thing is branded Xing Dong.   Flywheel, bless him, sent me a manual for a Changchai, and it seems to be the same thing. I am beginning to suspect that "it don't make a hill 'a beans, they all the same".
I gave up trying to figure it out, as long as it runs.. I'm good.

Sho-a-nuff, they are all basically the same.  Just did a google on amecco diesel engine and sho a nuff it shows up.  If you will just google engine size, like s195 diesel engine, 1115 diesel engine, or whatever model you will see that there are probably at least 30 different brands.
When you search just enter a model number followed by diesel engine, do not enter a brand name such as changfa.

Wilson,

Are you pressing Canola seed in your seed press?
Making biodiesel or straight SVO for the engines?

cheers,
