[SEL] My Homepage

[Dave Ernst]

I'm right in the middle of restoring 2 JD model H's, sold one and am keeping 
the other. I moved the 2HP Fairbanks T into the shop office and have been 
looking at it for the past couple of months. It is/was a Jack with no tank, 
so I'm going to put an old small brass gear pump on the skid, drive it with 
a flat belt off a a pully inside the flywheel.  Been watching the different 
styles of screen cooled engines such as the IHC verticals, but don't want to 
be a copy cat. I've got an idea of making a "cooling tower" style with 
wooden removable slats staggered and stacked atop the others. Will have to 
get creative and make some sort of valve on the intake side of the pump to 
control temperature and volume.
Gotta stop being a FATG and get to work on it if I'm gonna lug it to Tulare.
