| 48308 | BFC | 1954 | abandoned and pilfered | Found on a mining tenement, M77/1250, in the Parker Range locality, via Marvel Loch, Yilgarn Shire, WA. It has been there for probably 40 years or more. We know previous lease holders, so we hope to get some more history. We are missing a head, 3 rocker assemblies (pedestals, shafts and rockers). Water pump shaft is bent but no corrosion. Radiator fan smashed. Top half of radiator and the core missing. Injector pumps found without delivery pipes, so probably u/s. Injectors missing. Inside of crankcase a bit dirty, but no corrosion. Bores lightly corroded where visible, piston tops heavily pitted. It was found coupled to a 15kW Southern Cross alternator, which has been pilfered......no field coils, no brush holders, but looks the part! | | |
