Default Fairbanks Morse Z Style C & Water Pump

I'm new to this but please don't send me a beanie cap...I have located a 3hp Z Style C. There is no serial number on the tag but it has patent pending. This is mounted on a cart along with a Fairbanks Morse 1500 gph pump. Any info will be appreciated.

The serial number will be stamped on the boss on the upper rear of the water hopper. Paint might obscure the stamping, so you might have to take a piece of emory cloth and knock the paint off to see the number....Good running, throttle governed, tough as nails engines. But, fairly common. With a factory pump attached, it would make a very nice display though!...Got any photos?

There is a set up just like this at the local historical society here in town. It was used in Hitchcock Texas for a fire pump at a store in the 30's. It doesn't have wheels. I have a picture on my work computer, (I'm home today).
