42827ETB1951 Originally from a farm at St Ruth near Dalby. Had a metre of water over it in 2010. Bought and stored as a backup pump engine on a farm at Gordonbrook. Wasn't big enough for the job. Offered to me as a running display piece for future exhibition 2019

45617ETB1953 This engine was an excellent find it is in near-perfect condition as far as outside appearance, it is also set up with a 32 V generator and switchboard, one of which I am not sure if it is original or has been custom-made.

48247ETB1954 Sydney NSW Brought this engine off ebay in 2007 from a pump collector in Tamworth.  He'd brought elsewhere and had recovered the water pump from it. Sold it as is still on the wooden sled. Original condition and looks like a complete engine, but hadn't been going  for some time - diesel remaining in  tank had gone off and there was about a litre of water in the bottom  of  the sump. Currently under restoration, engine has been dismantled and is being cleaned. Looks generally OK inside except for all bearings on the crank which will need overhaul/replacement.

51504ETB1955 This engine came off a farm at Muchea in Western Australia. It sat out in the weather until May 2019 when it was brought to me for restoration. The engine is paired to a Southern Cross 32v generator (Mark DK-G, No. 8407). Unfortunately, the switch board was not with the generator. The engine had not run for approx. 42 years. (2019)
