[SEL] Massey Harris tank cooled

[Best, George]

I wouldn't call that a tank cooled engine ;-)

It's a hopper cooled engine with the hopper removed and a plate used to
seal off the cylinder so an external source of water could be used for
cooling.

If I take the hopper off my 5hp Galloway and seal it with a plate, does
that make it a tank cooled engine? :-)

I admit the MH you photographed was interesting but won't go so far as
to call it tank cooled.

In the past I have seen a few hopper cooled engine which were converted
to look like a tank cooled version.  Some of these conversions looked
almost factory like.  I don't know if I have any pictures to share, but
maybe some of you have seen some of these conversions and have pictures
to share.
