[SEL] Another Famous/Osborn question

[John Hammink]

Tommy,
   I already told him that, I did some searching in the parts book
and this type of pumps were only used in 1906-07 on the Port.
and Fam. outfits. Looking at the engine tag it has to be a R1xxx
serial # what means a 1906-07 Tank cooled engine not a Screen 
cooled because these came first in 1907. 
They had ( the 4 hp) a 8"x 1 5/16" drive pulley on the engine and
the same year the factory changed it in a 3"x 1 5/16" pulley.
The only water tank I could find for these early engine was a 30"x48"
tank of 114 gallons capt.
IMHO it's worth to buy it and own an early one Mike.
