22474 engine number - Year 1946 Type BGC Original condition Coupled to a 20 kva alternator no 5260 Springwood 22493 Engine number - year 1946 Type BGC All Original - runs. It is unrestored, but still runs well and we use it whenever we need larger volumes of compressed air. The compressor is a C.P. 3 cylinder of unknown cfm, but it is certainly substantial. The makers plate has the familiar D^D marking so I assume it spent some time with the Army - located in NSW Photos of this engine are coming 22587 Engine number - year 1946 Type YB 22855 Engine number - year 1946 Type BEC Year 1946 22633 Engine number - year 1946 Type YB 22692 Engine number - year 1946 Type YB 22949 Engine number - year 1946 Type J Restored Seen at QHR rally 08 23029 Engine number - year 1946 Type BGC 23331 Engine number - year 1946 Type YB on cast iron base Original not running 23377 Engine number - year 1946 Type YB Unrestored Ian 23754 Engine number - year 1946 Type YB Qld 23802 Engine number - year 1946 Type YB 23871 Engine number - year 1946 Type J 24*29 Engine number - year 1946 Type YB Batch 24214-24613 number fits in here 24048 Engine number - year 1946 Type BDC 24480 Engine number - year 1946 Type YB Restored Mackay Mt Isa 24665 Engine number - year 1946 Type AXC Resto started Cairns 24722 Engine number - year 1946 Type AXC 24730 Engine number - year 1947 Type AXC Restored Seen at National Rally at Biloela 2007 24771 Engine number - year 1946 Type AXC 24878 Engine number - year 1947 Type AXC NSW 24983 Engine number - year 1946 Type BEC 25189 Engine number - year 1947 Type YB 25642 Engine number - year 1947 Type J 25734 Engine number - year 1947 Type J Original, Seen at National Rally at Biloela 2007 25800 Engine number - year 1947 Type YB 25970 Engine number - year 1947 Type YB 26002 Engine number - year 1947 Type YB Restored NSW 26080 Engine number - year 1947 Type YB 26408 Engine number - year 1947 Type BEC 26130 Engine number - year 1947 Type YB Restored Ken Mackay 26142 Serial Number - year 1947.

Phill Rowville 27178 Engine number - year 1947 Type YB 27247 Engine number - year 1947 Type YB 27320 Engine number - year 1947 Type YB Running order Vic 27406 Engine number - year 1947 Type YB 27652 Engine number - year 1947 Type J 27840 Engine number - year 1948 Type BDC 27961 Engine number - year 1948 Type BDC 28250 Engine number - year 1948 Type BEC History The previous owner acquired it with a property he bought in Wyndham, (far north Kimberley) but has no history on it. Pistons were siezed due to water entry, but was otherwise in sound condition. Presume it was re-built at some stage, as big-end journals are .010" undersize and valves and pistons look fairly new. Injection gear has now been carefully salvaged and re-commissioned at no great expense. I suspect the unit may have been repaired after external damage, as the radiator looks like a unit from later G series engines, The engine may yet have another life driving a small sugar mill at a local rum distillery which caters to our growing tourist trade. 2009 - Sept 2010 update on my 1948 BE-C no. 28250. It is now installed and driving a small Columbian built sugar mill at a local rum distillery trading as "The Hoochery" here in Kununurra, and was featured on ABC Country Hour, and Country Breakfast recently. The operation is a popular tourist attraction now, Regards, Murray Shiner. 28560 Engine number - year 1948 Type YB This engine it was originally used to drive a hay press on a farm in the Bamawm area not far from here and it was then used to pump water.

Pulled the side cover off and found a broken connecting rod, so it looks like the engine has failed and it's probably been discarded onsite or it's been through a flood. Picked this up on ebay in 2006 from Griffith. The guy had bought it to restore with his kids but decided not to and sell instead. Sold this and engine 31071 together with a centrifugal irrigation pump. Looks like this engine and the pump were bought at an auction as a single lot, not sure about 31071.
