Robert, You have a great looking rig! I have been keeping track of it in the members section and you have done a good job. I tried to follow the thread of numbers ref this beening a FXCO engine and I am not sure if that was decided. I say it was not and the only reason I say that is there is not a pan for the front soft sleeve. All Fairfax engines of that era that I recall have that feature. I know the unit was rehabed and maybe that was changed. I don't know why you would though. Just my thoughts.

Thanks Joe! I certainly wasn't around then to verify, so I am just going by what I was told. According to another Fairfax guy this was one of 4 that were order around the same time. There is supposedly a picture of one of the sister engines in this thread - one with a Rotor Ray - but I have not had the time to look through the near 50 pages here.
As far as the tray in the front goes, I agree - don't know why you would eliminate it in a refurb. It is in fact, an option that is on my list of things to retrofit when I build my discretionary funds back up!!
