I finaly got it pressure washed and have not found a data plate or casting numbers. There are two scuffed up labels that seem to talk about operation.
I have identified the PTO gearbox as a Model D-300 S/N 105 LINDEX COMPANY,Inc of Yakima, WA. A kind and helpful man named Ted Adams is the flame keeper for the former Linderman enterprise. Take a moment to look at lindemanarchives.com , good reading.
Mr. Adams sent me a high resolution photo of his full scale side view blueprint parts drawing for the Model 300/305. The model 300 that I have is a 1,000 rpm configuration, I am hoping to find a set of gears and a output shaft to convert to 540 rpm, as is the model 305.
This little D3B was bought new for Texas Eastern Transmission just to tow a bush hog and do some little jobs around the comprssor station. It only has 2057 hours on it. Seems the left steering clutches have more wear than the right.Other than that everything works, except the horn. Anyone with knowledge about this, please e mail me at
