Shandong Engine. Never Saw Anything Quite Like it

[Industrial Toys]

I saw this at auction. I have never seen anything like it and can't find a lot of information. The white cowling is actually a head light, how weird is that.

I was thinking about a slow speed night time generator. Just enough to keep fridges/freezers, electronics and lighting available. I thought 2000 rpm was slow, and then realized my sets now do 1800 so I wasn't as enthusiastic anymore.

Looks like a take-off from a walking tractor.

Thanks! That explains a lot. I couldn't imagine that thing as part of a motorcycle!

Interesting. I tried to view that link and only saw parts, alternators and such.

A water cooled walk behind tractor. Wow!

Those walk behind diesel tractor/tillers are absolutely everywhere in China.
With a sulky/trailer, mom and pop, and kid (formerly only one in China), all can also ride into the village.

I would love to see a torque chart and see what kind of HP it might make at 1000 RPM? I think, this one might be hand start! Come to think of it, I don't even know if it's a two or four stroke? Something now tells me two.

Just came accross this picture that was the most strange (now solved)

I think you should build a motorcycle with it.

you think if you ever need parts, you can get them from Shandong??.. I don't think so.. that engine was made for Chinese use..
