Balaur's V12 as I found it in 2nd owners, Ted and Darla Summers, old shed.
I worked for the original owner, Meb Mallard, in 1965 when the motor was new on an irrigation well pumping 2,000 gpm. Summers bought it, then ran it 'til about '81. He retired it until I got it and put it in "Balaur". Appro. mileage based on hrs. on pump is equal to about 5 1/2 million miles. Number of rebuilds unknown.
This is how the motor looked when we pulled it out of it's extended hibernation on 7-11-07. Was good to hear her blow fire and thunder after all those years.
