38181 | BFC | 1950 | Originally this motor coupled to a Southern Cross 15 Kva alternator was the backup power supply unit at the local radio station 4BU in Bundaberg. Not sure when it was retired but it has been stored in a shed for many years. Nearly came to grief in the 2013 floods. Motor turns over ok, checking and cleaning thoroughly before attempting to start her up | |||

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! |
