Ball Hopper Monitor - Casting Project

The wood flour is sold as a filler and can be used as your talking, that is what it is sold as in the Amazon listing, but I thought wrong, I thought that we were talking about core sand.
I use it in core sand.

The subbase is used only the 6hp. The buzz saw used cast iron sliders between engine and frame. I bought mine off the engine those main caps were from.

No Manatiba Windmill and Pump Co.

Recess in hopper is simpler as both valve stems stick out the bottom of the valve block

I am wondering if Manitoba Windmill and Pump Co was a Jobber name. Another Manitoba Co.
I thimk sold other makers brands, like Nelson engines.
They may have copied the Baker Monitors.

The only other thought about a Manitoba-Baker is like the Waterloo engines that were what I think cloned in Canada. But no one has answered me if Waterloo made them, or how they were patterened, as they have different componants, but look they same.
The thread copied from Smokstak was by Buzzcoil Brinkster, Denis Rouleau, and he has passed away, and the link does not work.
For certain, there are variations from a Baker to a Manitoba sold engine.
