[SEL] New Iron Find

[John Culp]

I  probably have one somewhere online. I'll have to hunt for it.

They weren't referred to by horsepower, but by displacement. Mine's a 
52 cubic inch, the smallest ZC. They didn't refer to "Z, Type C" or 
"ZC" anywhere on the engine, either. It's just a Fairbanks-Morse Type Z 
(great big capital Z), 52 cubic inches, 800 RPM. It has a cast ratchet 
for a speed adjustment lever on the crankcase cover, but none was 
installed on mine, which was an oilfield engine with the steam 
condenser and cooling fan over the hopper, and ran on gas from the well 
with a valve screwed directly into the end of the carburetor under the 
choke plate. Mine's converted back to being a gasoline/kerosene engine 
with a starting fuel bowl and jet and a main running jet with a fuel 
tank under the base.
