[SEL] Massey Harris tank cooled

[Duncan Denman]

Hi Curt,

Interresting. I would even say it could be factory in spite of the less 
than perfect contour matching around the top due to the other casting 
characteristics and I would definately call it tank cooled especially 
since the factory offerd it as an option. Looks like it would have been 
a 6 HP?
I have never seen one like it up here and it would be quite a prize to 
have.  Lots of mysteries in the gas engine world yet to be explained.
