Thanks Mike, progress being made. The compressor removed, cut away unnecessary wiring, have battery on charge for tomorrow. There's a couple of solenoids on the fuel system I think the one wired to an oil pressure switch acted as a Murphy, if that is the case I'll have to figure out how to fool the switch into a full oil pressure mode in order to get fuel into the injectors.
The compressor has a nice spline male coupling that mates into a female, I can foresee using this for some future project. As for the compressor it has 6 pistons, the oil circulated through the system with the
Freon and this is the reason i removed it from the engine. It would have blown oil all over the shop.
The engine uses two oil filters and one fuel filter exhaust manifold was cast so that the gas could either exit from the top or open up the end, drill two holes and thread them to redirect the exhaust. also looks like the exhaust manifold maybe swapped end for end bringing the rear outlet to the front of the engine.
Fan blade pushes air away from the engine which is bonus, forward air keeps the radiator free of fluff, seeds and snow. When you don;t have a cab forward air also adds to operator comfort during cold.
