The Gorman Rupps are great pumps. I have one on my 68 GMC 3000 gallon water truck. 350 GPM @ 180 psi. "Course, mines a bit bigger, and attached to a 671 Detroit…
@84400 A few years ago I had an old 8V71 Detroit and bought a bunch of Detroit Diesel Green to repaint it… and over the years, I worked on many more, Alpine Green is close but I feel pretty certain mustie1's Wisconsin is painted Onan Green. N.D.O.T. has a 1950's 4 cyl. Onan generator that has sat outside for years and is pretty much that same faded green. But who knows, it could be a can of turquoise paint that was just laying around!
@mustie1 No problem buddy, I enjoy researching things like that. Plus, early in my career I worked on a bunch of Wisconsins, mostly AENL's and VH4D's VERY tough engines, well made and pretty easy to rebuild. Built like a tank.
@queenofyeay I have an old original square Wisconsin fuel tank from the early eighties with what is considered Wisconsin company colors. Have to see if I can dig it up!
AEN, AENL or an AENLD the D stands for stellite valves. Ken's engine AAH, ceased production in 1957 (started in 41) The AEN started production in 1949 and ceased in 1957 was replaced by AENL in 1957 with more HP (8.2 vs 9.2) Your AEN/L/D looks like it's painted Onan green… but looks good in any case Early Wisconsins were painted grey leaving it to the manufacturer to paint their own company colors but apparently black too. At some point they chose a medium green metalic as company colors
Cool looking engine
That IS a beast. Thanks.
AENL thats the model I have a model AENLD

@64gravely must be a heavy tiller
@84400 and heavy
@queenofyeay boy you did my homework thanks
Color looks like Detroit diesel Alpine Green. The old Wisconsin are tough motors. Kinda hard to get parts for now but they are really stout
And then I checked the Wisconsin company website and it looks like gray is company colors again!
