Turns over freely. Have not even tried to start. I picked up with plans to clean it up and get it running but I don't have the time. Cool piece. I can send more pictures if you contact me. $850 picked up in central New York.

Just wondering if this is not a ground power unit, pump motor or farm unit to run farm machinery. I have seen several model t engines in marine applications, and none had the framework or radiator attached, and used the planetary transmission for propulsion.
Model t marine engines I have seen had direct sea water cooling. To me this unit appears to be a factory built stationary power unit. Just a suggestion I've been wrong before. If it was not 3000 miles from me on the right coast I could be interested.
just sayin,

I would like to see the oil pan. Not looking to buy, just curious how they did it? Thanks Dan

Besides the oil pan, I am curious about what they did to oil the bearings and the rest of the engine.
Way to far for me to go visit and I definitely do not need even more projects.

It looks like a casted oil pan and my guess is there is some sort of oil pump that runs off the cam. If you look closely there is a little oil sight glass.
