Hi Gil, thank you for this fantastic Video showing the power of this Jensen 20 Plant.
The engine has no problem to drive so many items. I like the Windmill and also the
Milling Machine. This makes really Fun ;D ;D ;D
Arnold
The Waterlevel Glass just perfect!

Thanks, Bruce! I agree and this reminds me of a bit of your type of creativity.

Now that's my kind of FUN, really neat setup Gil , & a handsome #20G unit you got from the auction house...never can go wrong with a Jensen #20G as a purchase & quality entertainment.
WELL DONE !

Next bit of attention will be dealing with this.
- Warm white vinegar wash out
- Soak another day on outside with PB Blaster
- Clean or replace site glass, and gaskets

Thanks, Arnold. I will make a video after further clean-up and repair.

Congratulation - very nice engine and I like the displacement.
I think it needs only a good cleaning and may show some signs of use.
good hunt at Meissner's.....
I wood like to have one - but delivery to Europe is too expensive.
Waiting for video to see it working!

Thanks, gents. The only re-mod I have performed so far is to remove the aluminum tag and place it right side up.
Here is is a bit cleaner, tag reversed, lamp post straightened.

That looks like a nice find, indeed. Congratulations.
The modifications seem to make sense...
I agree with Thomas. You have so many "perfect" Jensens it will be fun to have an appropriately mod'ed Jen 20.
Fun acquisition.

A week or two back I got my call to bid live at a small auction house located east of Albany, NY about as far as you could go before bumping into the Massachusetts state line. Below are photos of this Jensen 20-G (as arrived) with some modification in addition to all the dirt and dust caked onto it. The generator was moved so the pulley outside the bearing pedestal could drive it. There is a Jensen Lineshaft driven from the flywheel groove. There is a shaper powered by the small flywheel hub pulley.
My first thought was to take off all the extras and move the generator back where it belongs. Then I thought it would be fun to put the belts on it and run it as is. This way I could feel and experience enjoyment it's original owner may have had. So for the moment, that is the plan.
Now to get it a little cleaner and try to free up a well stuck site glass ring.
