Joe,
Please tell us more about red pear hoppered Baker Monitors! Any ball 
hoppered Monitors I've seen in red and so far any pear hoppered Monitors 
I've only seen in grey. I just called sleepy teen Devin and went thru 
the s/n list with him asking him to look for any clues about when there 
was a color change on the pear hoppered engines. He didn't find a note 
about it.
Have you narrowed down a year or s/n at which there was a color change?

Interesting about the tin on the end of the crankshaft. Ours is afixed 
to the flywheel and that is where it has stayed since the restoration. 
But what you say makes perfect sense now that I think about it. If one 
was to use it as a hopper cover, the condensation would run along the 
inside and drip on the _outside_ of the hopper. The condensate would not 
run back in the hopper. Pretty keen sleuthing there Joe!

 <pre wrap="">Rex,
Your engine should be painted red. It is tough to find a Little Monitor
that should be painted red, but you did it. You need the ball muffler (not
the later bell muffler) and there was never a guard over the gears or a
tin disc on the end of the crankshaft. Both of those safety items came
later. Also, anyone who tells you the tin disc is a water hopper lid is
full of crap.
You got that engine from Orvie Schraeder, didnja? Good job, he usually
won't sell.
Joe
