Dear Tim,
This sounds like the sediment/strainer I got from Northern Hydraulic
and tested for maximum flow rate. It was a little bit shy.

I would think so. g

I have a 1942 Gibson tractor that has a (book rated) 9 HP Wisconsin engine,
and it has one like that. Not enough for a VW engine, I would not think.

The reason I said it was book rated at 9 HP, was because it has a 3 inch
piston, with a 3 1/4" stroke.

What a striker. I love that engine. A modern one with that displacement in
the typical over square configuration is rated at around 20 HP, I think. I
would be very surprised if a modern would come close to working as hard, for
pushing dirt and pulling stuff, as that tractor.

I gotta get that thing back in good running condition. I have a sneaking
feeling that we might get some snow, this year.
