Looking through some old pictures from Chickasha past. How many know what this is?

It looks like a run-in device for new or rebabbited engines. (Cost as much as a new Ford!)

Cool picture but no belt to the pulley, no line shaft to run it? Or am I just not seeing it?

That’s one of the Ford T tools that were scrapped after many years like others were. A few survived and do show up but not often. Probably less around than the T pan alignment tables and that’s not a lot.

There were two models. One like the one on the trailer at Chickasha where a belt drove the engine block you were burning in. And the other where you could put a whole running engine on to drive the second block you were burning in, as in the shop picture. I suppose if you left a complete running engine there, you could use it to run the line shaft in your shop too.
