[AJD] Mystery JD 4 cyl.

[Duane Larson]

Richard,
I think the gas tank (and engine) are from an early JD combine.  I have a 
collection of combine literature but it will take some looking to figure it 
out.  It is NOT a JD engine - they used various brands on their early 
combines, but the gas tanks looked like that.  Is there any hint - casting 
name or numbers - that would help pin the engine down?  Of course, someone 
may know and that would be great!

Hmm - a quick check shows a similar gas tank on the JD No. 7 8-ft combine. 
It used a Hercules IXB 4 cylinder engine with an eight gallon gas tank.  The 
engine manifold has Hercules cast into it.  As I recall the gas tanks were 
painted red.
