wheelwright Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 This 2 cylinder engine has the transmission pan as part of the block casting. It appears to be a shaft drive set up. Missing several parts. I do not know what it is. Does anyone have an idea ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldovert Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I am thinking that might be a Autocar truck engine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelwright Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Wow, that does look like it, the same water outlets on the bottom on the cylinders and right is horizontal and if a person could see the left outlet I bet it is vertical. What year is this Autocar Truck in your picture ? Edited May 23, 2020 by wheelwright (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layden B Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Last year for 2 cylinder Autocar trucks, 1926. They were 4 3/4 x 4 1/2 bore and stroke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelwright Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) They look like neat old trucks. Amazed this old engine could pull those kind of loads. Was figuring this probably came out of some light Runabout Automobile. Very surprised !

Rusty_OToole Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 It would pull quite a load, it just wouldn't pull it very fast. Top speed, 20 -25 mph for a solid tire truck of that vintage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHa Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Back in the early 2,000s there was a guy who brought 2 Autocar trucks to Hershey and drove them around. I don't know what he had done to them but they were fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
