The City of Lake Alfred used the engine to run a water pump that pumped water up to the cities water tower.

See the Detroit literature pages for locations of serial numbers.  One of the first low pressure fuel injection engines made.

Very original engine, skids, box and tank.

Detroit 3hp, Owner: Arnie Fero from Pittsburg, PA. The two single oilers on this engine appear to be original along with the wood skids and box. Original Detroit literature show that the the two single oilers were on the very early model engines before they come out with the one piece duel oiler. Also the cast iron governor arm and the wooden battery box is a sign of a early built engine. Later model engines had thin stamped out steal governor arms and no wooden battery box.
