1937 Fairbanks Morse
Type Z, Style D

Production of the 1 1/2 horsepower Type Z, Style D engine began in late 1928. This engine was a radical departure from previous designs, in that it was completely enclosed. Machinery could be belted directly from the crankshaft belt pulley. On the opposite side of the engine was another pulley running at camshaft speed.
Some parts are difficult to find on these old engines, so I've made drawings of some commonly missing parts.
