                     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.
