28250 | BEC | 1948 | BEC History The previous owner acquired it with a property he bought in Wyndham, (far north Kimberley) but has no history on it. Pistons were siezed due to water entry, but was otherwise in sound condition. Presume it was re-built at some stage, as big-end journals are .010" undersize and valves and pistons look fairly new. Injection gear has now been carefully salvaged and re-commissioned at no great expense. I suspect the unit may have been repaired after external damage, as the radiator looks like a unit from later G series engines, The engine may yet have another life driving a small sugar mill at a local rum distillery which caters to our growing tourist trade. 2009 | ||||

35492 | BEC | 1950 | Condition Lost * History I am putting together some information about the Rockhampton Technical College. I have comes across some correspondence for the early 1950's, when the College took delivery of a Southern Cross BE-C 20 HP two cylinder diesel engine. It is unclear whether it was purchased through the States Stores Board or through the Southern Cross office in Rockhampton (they gave the original quotation). | Qld | |||
