Ohlsson & Rice: Kenco Pump with Type 133?

Recommended Posts

Never seen one of these Kenco pumps in the green.  Looks like a Type 133 military engine, unless someone used a Type 133 to replace the original engine on the pump. It looks like it could be original paint but it’s dirty and hard to tell for sure.

No, just came across the photo and it made me wonder if one of the military applications was a water pump. You never see the Type 133 in the actual application. I know there has been mention of them being used in target drones as well, who knows...

It's all pure speculation unless you have pictures showing both the engine type & the model number (61MX3 ?) on the pump and several examples turn up to prove it's not been re-painted.

The three rather low-res pictures could be from many years ago, worthlesspoint harvests information from ePay listings, but usually only a couple of the pictures.

The muffler certainly doesn't look correct for military use.

 

As for the drone mention that is complete nonsense, people got confused with the large 4 cylinder McCulloch engine re-used in the early Bensen B-8M Gyrocopter (which can have an O&R engine used for the pre-rotator mechanism only). McCulloch made the drone engines.
