Randy You have a unit that came out of a boat.Yes it is water cooled,some units have two pumps.Will get back with you after work today.

Have seen folks use these to power up their house during a power outage. Use the swimming pool for cooling water. Guess you could also use a couple of 55 gallon drums. One thing to be careful of, if no heat exchanger, used water directly, the inside of the engine might not be in good condition. Water at 180 degrees is very corrosive to iron and steel and rots it away in very short order.
The pumps Bily mentioned are the weak point on those machines, find and keep on hand a couple of rebuild kits for them.
Good solid reliable machines, last a long time with some care. Heavy enough to be used as a second anchor.

i got this thing in A trade and i dont know anything about it,,,does anybody know anything about it,,,,,,model mcck1a/1f i have a lot of views and no response please help

can a radaitor out of a car work for the cooling system

What all do you need to know.Water cooled unit,very heavy,very good unit.Water pump impellers are the weak point.Will run for ever if proper care taken.

I know of people who have removed the water pump completely and installed a 110v aquarium pump. It just needs to pump 3.5 gpm and they will run forever. I did it 2 years ago and haven't had a water problem since.
