Larry Schramm Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) I have a friend that is looking for a REO cylinder jug. The car he has is a 1912 and has been unable to find one. Pictures of the cracked 1912 shown below. This one is cracked above the cylinder wall in the top of the jug and can not be sleeved. He has been told that the cylinder jugs are interchangeable from about 1910 - 1924. Can anyone confirm if this is true and if so knows anyone that would have a cylinder jug that they would sell? If so, please PM me. Thanks, Edited November 2, 2019 by Larry Schramm (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV Puleo Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I think they are interchangeable but that they aren't identical. I had both a 10 and an 11 but I confess I can't remember whether the jugs were identical to yours or not. I also remember taking some parts off an engine (c. 1920, which had the jugs) at Bills Auto Parts in Valley Falls, RI about 40 years ago. I was able to use them but they weren't identical to the '10 parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 At this point in time, not worried about being identical, but would like to get the car running. Thanks for the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelroadster Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I understand that your jug is cracked. Are you surer that the jug cannot be repaired? There are specialty welders that can weld and braze cast iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 We have had two opinions, think so and no because of where it is inside the cylinder bore above the piston area. We are currently looking contacting a couple of places to see if they can possibly fix it. Thanks for your comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
