[SEL] Looking for B&S info....

[bill at antique-engines.com]

I sort of recalled the R stood for reduction, but there is no reduction,
it's a direct-drive pump. so I wonder if they bought the engines minus the
gear reduction and put their pump on that shaft instead. The pump mounts
like a gear unit would.

Thanks (to all so far)

Bill
