Holland, Michigan flathead. C- List

Interesting. Maybe hydraulic pump for a plow or power steering on a truck. Funny place for the oil filter too. If it was close to home, it would already be in my garage and I could tell you more about it!

Just saw this for $50.00, but what's with the large generator and extra mystery attachment?? https://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/pts/d/holland-early-ford-flat-head-8-motor/7850681233.html

Yep Henry has it. Govenor has friction pulley that drives off outside of fan belt. Generator is 3 brush with cutout broken off leaving just base.
 
yup, I see the springs for the governor now. Probably off a stationary power unit. Wonder whats on the back
 
Am I correct in assuming that a stationary engine would at the very least require the ring ridge removed before installing in a car?

What’s a ring ridge and how does it affect what it is installed in?

A ring ridge is the topmost area of a cylinder bore that remains free from wear caused by the top piston ring, which becomes more pronounced as the engine wears. A seat-of-the-pants judgement of engine wear is often done by feel with one’s fingernail at the top of a cylinder. Perhaps you know of it by another name.
