Guest buickkuhn Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 The picture looks like it has open valve train , That would lead to a closer date . Then the hub on the one side looks like the belt location for the old farm equipment to drive something like a hay bailer ,saw ,or pump . Good luck on finding the original manufacturer .

jim43 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I have never owned a " cone clutch" but is that possibly one on the flywheel of this engine? There looks to be some material sandwiched between the flywheel and the inner bit with a forcing spring on the shaft. It might be a belt drive but if that is a clutch, probably not. It may have run a rear axle transmission, or "transaxle" as was used by several auto makers back in the day. Since it appears to be aluminum, probably not a marine engine, but the clutch could still apply to stationary as well as automotive applications.

Guest prs519 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Industrial engine of some sort. I expect a belt was driven by the flywheel. Looks quite old, don't ya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
