Richard, I believe you sent me an ad on this Schmidt & Harsman engine showing a water pump with a friction drive, If you can find it Kent would appreciate it.
Thanks

What's cool is that you can see the mark on the flywheel from the water pump friction drive !

The engine tag in above post Says
"S & H Engine Manufactured by Schmidt & Harsman".
They were established in 1902 and became Perkins Bros in 1909. The engine is earlier than the ad
and would date in the six years 1902 to 1908, the very ornate tag design was common in those early years ! Its a rare old marine engine.

Thanks Richard, if I had seen the ad I probably would have bought the engine, the water pump is unique. It was at an estate sale and we all passed by it. |
