I recently ran across an interesting machine in an old model T garage in Virginia.
There seem to be a few pieces missing though.
Would anyone have an early catalog that shows the missing parts?
This end was used to burn in the crankshaft bearings, with the block sitting upside down.
This end was used to run a complete engine. The radiator was on the left end and must have leaked a lot.
This is the tag. Something went in that hole.

In the 3rd picture, if you turned the Dial, a bolt screwed in, and lifted the right side pan arm, to help center the U-Joint hook up. It shows it in Phils picture. I had one for about 30 years.
I also have a 1925 Dearborn Catalog no 103, like new.

Thanks Ron, Phil and Art!
That frame in the lower photo appears to be missing.
James: I looked at the one I have, and it does not have the hole as shown in your last photo. I would guess therefore, that it was drilled by the owner. Also mine does not have the hand dial to turn, but only a bolt that would require a wrench to turn and adjust the fitting. Also, I'll bet, when you clean up around the fixture, it will all be there, for it is plenty heavy and well made.
