Just an old Gentleman Janitor boiler. As far as I can tell it's the smallest model made. Works great and is silent.

I hope your GJ doesn't leak oil. Never know with that green paint. ;)

Scott I would hope that GJ is quieter than the old 2-banger 6V-71 that used to sit underneath me in the field chopper. I still get awake in the middle of the night and can hear that thing screaming in my ears.

The only question is there enough engine oil in the State of PA to replace everything that Detroit slobbers out? :o

Seriously though... very nice boiler you have.

Blame it on Rob. He made me do it. Had to go saying "I wouldn't mind seeing one painted DD green". It's all on him!

Now I DO wish I would have painted the 520 Caterpillar yellow... If you recall, we did discuss that possibility on my build thread!

Could we get a pic of the back and one of the inside? I was curious to know if this one has any cross tubes in it.
