[SEL] When is it an oil field engine?

[Glenn A Karch]

Curt,

The mixer I had at Coolspring last year has a place to screw in  the very
early version of the NG attachment which I have never seen yet.  The more
common Hercules NG mixer has is a modified J to accept the NG body which
attaches where the choke normally is.  In apppearance it looks something
like the log saw mixer and has a similar looking valve inside.

I think the Parkersburg Co simply rebadged the model T Thermoil.  By the
way,  I am working with another person supplying information to help him
develope a Thermoil and Hvid engine web site.
