Guest BLJ Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I recently acquired an engine that I was told was a Maxwell. It has an engine # stamped on the block of F91135. Can anyone give me an idea of how to go about finding out what it is as far as make and year? The Maxwell forum hasn't been able to help so far.

Layden B Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Pictures go a long way. Also 2 cylinder, 4 cylinder? Does it have starter or generator and if so what are the model #s on those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxwell 1912 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I bet I know who could if you posted clear pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BLJ Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Starter model #712-D serial #67174 Remy Electric Co. Generator model# 947B serial #78812. Delco-Remy Edited June 24, 2015 by BLJ (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Probably the reason that the Maxwell forum cannot help is that it may not be a Maxwell.The starter is 1925 Chrysler 25-F or 1926 F-58The generator is 1927 Chrysler 52The question may really be which of these components has been switched or are the catalog listings accurate?Your engine # falls in 1926 Chrysler.

Dandy Dave Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Looks like a late engine to me. Therein lies your problem. Ohhh Rochester. Bring the Maxwell around. Jack Benny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Dandy DaveSure is just symantics.. Chrysler used the old Maxwell engine design while converting over to the new 6 cylinder Chrysler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Mead Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Well, It's in a car, what's the rest of that look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Semantics again but I don't think it is quite correct to say that Chrysler used the Maxwell while converting to the new 6. They dropped the Chalmers 6 but kept the four cylinder engine as a low price model right through to 1932. In that time they developed several six and eight cylinder lines.

Guest BLJ Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Thanks for the information. Jim it doesn't look like much. It's last duty was to power a cement mixer about 30 years ago. Engine still turns and the clutch/ trans still seem work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
