I believe all 2-stroke Detroits have a supercharger of some sort, some have a turbo in addition. I don't think the blower is boosting much over 1 bar.
@mpwelk correct the blower wasnt as much about adding power as it was allowing it to function... these things need a scavenging effect to run... thats what the blower did
@mpwelk Nope it isn't, they breathe into the cylinders at just over atmospheric pressure. Turbo does some to help but you can only put some much air behind a blower that can't handle more than it's made for.
I wish it was my property. This is at the Antique Gas and Steam engine museum in Vista, Ca North of San Diego. I am a member, so we get the pleasure of getting these old tractors running again.
has this got a super charger?

I agree. If I had half the property it seems you have, I'd have lots of old rusty toys too. My wife would have to deal with it..LOL!
