We were given this engine in a sad state with a few bits missing. Progress has been made with it as now apart in my garage and sandblasted.

Next steps are a good clean and put it back together. easier said than done. I have the benefit of a couple of donor engines to get missing parts to make one good engine.

April/May 2020

The Covid lockdown has been a blessing of sorts to get onto a few projects. This has been one of them.

All now apart and cleaned up and as a test run put back together again to see what i was missing.

As an interesting aside. This a set up unique to New Zealand with the mag and drive gears.

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.
