Hi all, I'm Making room for my next project and I was hoping that someone out there could help in I.D this old motor for me. I have had it nere 30years now and should go to some one who needs it!
The rear jug is gone as it was conveted to a gen. plant with the generator sitting where the rear jug should be. It is a castiron block and jugs with alum.timming cover,water pump housing and oil fill indicator. All water plumbing is nickle plated but the water pump cover is stamped steal?? There is some form of a clutch right on the end of the fly wheel.
The three mains are pressure fed/drip. The oil pump is of plunger type runing of the cam
There is a number on the front left motor mount of A82760. Some of the bolt on parts all have numbers with the letter T in them ie. 1T27, 3T83, 5T19 ect. Some of the nuts are none standerd ie 9/16 wont fit but a 11/16 is to big.

Any one out there have any idea???

T















hanks for looking.
Paul

    Paul, you might want to put that up on the "What is it" forum at the Antique Automobile Club of America's website, at http://forums.aaca.org/f170/ . There are a lot more people on that, then here. And their knowledge is unbelievable!

    I took John B advice and posted my motor on the AACA form named "what is it" and ater an hour or so had many responces telling me that it was a 1916 REO truck motor. They confirmed this by the serial number, iron crank case. and no provision for a starter.
    So I googled 1916 REO and sure enough theres pics of the same motor.
    That site is pretty cool to check out!!

    Thanks for all that looked at this!
    Paul PS any one need half of a REO engine??
