Austral model "D"

[Allan Dhu]

Hi All,
I'am new to this forum, on another forum I was given the date my engine was tested (2 1929), I was just wondering if there are many of these engines around in preservation. I only know of two others here in West Aust. but they are a little different, one with a single flywheel the other has one valve push rod, my engine has two valve push rods. I hope my photos upload works, one of engine and pump the other my grandson helping to pack up after a day out.
Cheers Allan

Hi Chester,
Thanks for that, My engine I had to have the cylinder bored out and a sleeve fitted to it, a bit expensive but worth it I think.
Cheers Allan

Hi All,
Great photo's Kerry.
Russell,I hope that engine Finds it's way into a restorers hands and not get smashed up as a lot of old machinery did, I can remember as a kid on our farm at Pingelly here in W.A, The scrap metal people smashing up a big old engine on a tranporter and a e27n Fordson tractor we had. Cheers, Allan
