Thanks Jason

I just found it in another picture "Brethren" is the tractor to which the brush is attached. You can just barely see the wheel behind that truck chassis.

This is it! The tractor has the porcupine attached to the front of it! Son of a gun!

There the porcupine is! In front of that fork lift up against the front of the car on the left side. It looks like one of those detachable brushes that are still used today to hook up to the front of skid steers or walk behind earth movers. Thanks BenJu and Motts.

Thank You

John Galt, there is a new post in the first picture with a link to a page where the guy who bought this engine has pictures posted of the restoration he is doing. You are correct they removed the stack to get it out.

I cannot see the face I thought I saw. ? It could possibly be a profile?

Ben Ju ???? I don't see one?

better view of the PTO.

so is that your pet porcupine on the lower left or a chimney brush? (-:

ghosts on the machine? (-:

I think the big wide flat wheel is the PTO (Power Take Off) for belt driven accessory machines. There would have been a very wide leather belt for it if I am correct.

that straight 8 motor could be got dunning again. It might run as is if it hasn't frozen.

If that door is the entrance I'd say they installed that concrete beam after the tractor was pulled in. Maybe the building was starting to sag? IDK when the thing was put in there but that sort of corner on cement pillars is post war maybe even 60's era.
