Famous 2hp Air cooled

As found by Alister Aird

The Air Cooled Famous is probably the rarest engine in the collection. Rated at 2hp.
Purchased by Dad off an accquaintance in Chch, Alister Aird. It took a bit to get going but now a runner and great display engine.

Serial number KB1501.  The first made in 1912.

Only 2400 of this model made in total 1908-14.  Two versions, this type and a sprayer version.

I started collecting vintage machinery in the late 1990's. It took a while to refine what I collected. Now it is anything International Harvester. No I dont have a farm, I live in suburbia in Nelson, New Zealand.
