Tandem engines are/were very common on these wells, also. There's been about every type motor used, but they had to be two motors the same. Just a shaft from flywheel to crank inline. No tranny involved on the wells as pump was matched to a certain motor rpm by gear head ratio on the pump. Everything had to run at a constant pump shaft speed.
