What is it?
It’s a “59” engine. I was told the paper company had more than one of them in a cellar where the turbines were. They kept the water pumped out when the river flooded. It has 50# of oil pressure and seems to run well. I made some PVC connections from the inlet to the outlet to run it without the rad, with screens by the water pumps to catch the scale. I want to do a Rust911 or acid treatment to clean out more of it. I may try to hook a generator to it. There a video on YouTube when I ran it once, I’ll send the link if I can find it. Cold weather shut me down, I’ll resume when it ain’t freezing in the barn any more…….Mark
