[SEL] Large engine loading/unloading

[Judge Tommy Turner]

No, my 15 is just like yours except its a portable on trucks (won't have 
to load it like you do yours).  I've got a 3 HP tank cooled that looks 
like yours and the 6 does as well.  I have a GSM Sideshaft but its a 22 
HP, 2 cylinder opposed.  Never had it going as it needs some TLC.  Its 
in my "one of these days" side of the shed.  I don't know if I have a 
photo of it or not but will look and see and if so, I'll send it to 
you.  Its the only hopper cooled of the lot.  If you look on page 212 of 
Wendel's BYB, you'll see the 2 cylinder opposed.  The one in his photo 
is tank cooled however.
