Used up some junk

[sberry]

When many pieces come in for service they get a few changes made. This one needed head/valve/manifold and general tune as well as a crank seal. While it was in it got some lifting lugs and fan guards as well as a little guard on the alternator.
They have wheels and hitches but anymore I set them with a crane, just makes it easy to grab up 4 slings and no one guesses as where to hook on. Don't even need shackles, 4 10 ft nylons. 4 old chain links were welded on.

So that looks like a big block mopar on a test stand ? and it runs on propane ?

 

[sberry]

Its in the unit.

Just a shot in the dark, but that a Berkeley pump? we see units like that at work quite often.

 

[sberry]

Yes, a B4, I have a couple and a B6 also with a 500 Cadillac on it.

 

[sk farmer]

you cool that baby with a box fan?

 

[eborcim]

Where's the radiator go? In front of the box?

Is that pump for irrigation or pumping out a lagoon maybe?

This isn't a great pic and just before the weeds had been tended but the pump water flows thru a jacket that contains the cooling water. An inside out radiator essentially. Back in the day there were radiators in them assisted by pump water but it made a mess. These work fairly hard and are stationary so we left the fans on to provide some air flow just to move heat away from manifolds to protect wiring. I probably could get rid of them if I had water cooled exhaust manifolds like boats, in fact I have one set somewhere I might look up and convert to one of the Chevy's.

 

[sberry]

Yes, irrigation, both solid set impact sprinks and hard hose traveler.

 

[sberry]

Couple more.

I wondered if that was how they cooled since it did not appear there was a rad mount, makes sense as long as they run, they stay cool.
