To my knowledge, Reo did not use a magneto in 1925. Attached is a photo of the distributor used on my 1922 T6. It is positioned on the back of the generator.

The windshield and cowl are all wrong for a 12 Reo. I found this photo of a 12 on Google and notice the windshield is on a filler board and it has a wooden dash. Certainly the emblem appears to be Reo, but that windshield mount is not 1912. I'll keep looking.

Here we go again... It reminds me of a saying I have about people in general. "If you repeat a lie enough times, it becomes the truth." It's only a matter of time... Watch this space.

Only the Speed Wagon had the cowl mounted gas tank. Speedwagons were made from 1917 - 1926 as Model F and Model U, depending on the number of cylinders. Model F was 4 cylinders, Model U was 6.

They are all Model T. These were used on open cars that had electric starters and generators. No cars with electrics were shipped with kerosene cowl lights, therefore different windshield brackets were used...

That aluminum piece might be part of a Lovejoy coupling that was used to connect the engine shaft to the generator shaft. if so, easy to replace with new parts.
