>>Elden,
>>Now that you've brought up the oiler question, 
>>and thanks to Jeff Allen for 
>>his input, I think the double oilers were 
>>original.  Reading the 
>>instructions posted by Jeff, I read these engines 
>>had an option called 
>>"centrifigal crank pin oiler". When that is 
>>ordered there is an additional 
>>(third)oiler on the left side of the block by the 
>>crank with a hole through 
>>the side cover plate that the tubing from the 
>>oiler passes thru to drip oil 
>>on the crank pin. Mine has the hole, right angle 
>>bracket, tubing and a 1/4" 
>>pipe fitting for an oiler. According to the 
>>instructions with this option 
>>the crankcase was dry and the oil was wasted.
>>Any thoughts?
>>As far as the tag, it's original.  A friend near 
>>me has an 1908 version, but 
>>his tag doesn't have the serial number on it.
>>I also have pictures of a Jack owned by a fellow 
>>in the SF bay area that has 
>>a handhole on each end of the crankcase. Wonder 
>>what that means?
>>As for your water tank pic's please post them to me.
>>Thanks,
