UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a little confusing. Seller calls this a CJ-6A engine, but the tag reads CJ-3A. It's a flathead, so the CJ-6A designation seems incorrect.
"For sale is a 1963 Hesse Hornet compressor made by the Hesse Carriage Co. It was designed to sit in the back of a pick-up or on it's own small trailer. This particular Hesse uses a rare Jeep Kaiser 4cyl CJ-6A engine. It pumps air by having two of the 4 cylinders blocked off to compress while the other two function normally. The engine itself looks good and runs great. It may need a small tune-up from storage but nothing major. It does not come with a battery or gas tank. I tested it by rigging up a temporary tank.
The tag that isn't legible in the photos reads -
" HSB Natl. BD. & Mer,
73669 ASME 1963
Wessels
Detroit Mich
W.P. 160 PSI
Temp 650F HD. ELL"
Unit can be viewed or inspected anytime.
ENGINE IS VERY HEAVY! WILL BE LOCAL PICK-UP ONLY. WE HAVE A FORKLIFT ON SITE SO LOADING HERE WONT BE A PROBLEM. "
