[SEL] Type M International

[Duncan Denman]

A fellow shows up at my place last weekend with a 3HP type M in the back 
of his truck. He is a farmer just around the corner from me and knows 
virtually nothing about gas engines. Someone around here told the poor 
guy I did! lol
 It apparently belonged to his wife's grandfather who passed away many 
years ago. Since then the engine has sat under the work bench at the 
home farm until her father asked if anyone wanted it.
The engine is in good shape with everything fairly free and complete and 
has what looks to be an original clutch pulley. It has the original Wico 
mag and spark plug ignition system and has some spark.
 Interesting modification which consists of a bracket bolted to the top 
of the water hopper attached to a chain which runs down to the governor 
v guide that the fingers ride in. Holes have been drilled in it and 
attached to hold it tight against the mains. The main function of this 
engine was to drive a wood lathe.
There is no plate on the engine so I was wondering if type M engines had 
the serial number anywhere else on them?
No, it is not for sale :-( but he wants to "get it going" .

thanks,
Duncan
