I have lots of photos! Looks like you're missing parts of the reverse gear? On those two studs a cast iron bracket would be bolted to support a Manzel Model 25 force feed lubricator. You might want to turn the cylinder around so the studs are at the back.
Judging by the width of the flywheel rim this is a "Vivian Engine Works" production, not the earlier "Vivian Gas Engine Works". Probably the original cylinder on your engine split and was replaced by this one.
Looks like you have the remains of a Bemus timer there. Not original, but the right period; they were a cheap timer, not in the same league as the CUNO or Atwater Kent.
See my other recent post for the location of the serial number on the upper crankcase. You could well have different numbers there and on the brass plate as heads got swapped around too. Your manifold looks to be in good shape, which is unusual.
More photos would help a lot. Where are your located? I probably have the parts needed for the reverse gear. |

Swap that cylinder around 180 degrees too; the flat with the studs is for a bracket the Manzel Lubricator was mounted on. Those were to the rear of the cylinder on the "semi-heavy duty" engines. The larger "heavy duty" engines seem to have mounted them on the front of the cylinder, at least earlier in their production.
Let me know when you want those trans parts! ;-) |
