C-101plowerpower 548 #9 Posted December 1, 2015 no idea what to use it for yet, there's no keyway in the crank to fix a pulley to it so yeah. not sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #10 Posted December 3, 2015 That's a nice find Koen, I wonder what it was used for with no keyway or threaded hole in the crank! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Braeden 3 #12 Posted December 15, 2016 I'm looking for an 8FB engine just like that. I'm restoring a WW2 quad mount 50 cal and that's the motor it had. It's currently missing. Does anyone have one they are willing to sell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone have one they are willing to sell? oooh that sounds really interesting, do you have any pictures of the machine? i might be willing to sell it but i think it will cost a small fortune to ship it over seas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Braeden 3 #14 Posted December 15, 2016 Hey C-101plowerpower. Here's a few pics. I've got everything other than that motor. Yeah I guess you are a bit far. I'll hunt around a bit first, but if I hit a dead end maybe we can work something out. 3 C-101plowerpower, Alan and Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
