Default Buzacot 'J' Farm Pumper

Hi, Can anyone help me get the date of manufacture of my Buzacot farm pumper. Engine #6758 stamped on the end of the crankshaft. Also details of the petrol cup that sits on top of the mixture screw for when you start on petrol and then run on kero. Is there a register here in Australia for Buzacot engines?
Cheers, Cobbadog

A big big thank you to Eric Shultz for sending me an email giving me a lead as to who can help correctly age my pumper. It turns out that mine was made in January 1929. The contact that Eric sent me was very helpful and I really appreciate Erics efforts in contacting me with the info. The contact does NOT run a register as such (he keeps records for himself only) and none of this is on the web, but does have all the relevant details of Buzacott engines.
Thanks again Eric.

Cobbadog ......Eric is a remarkable source of information , very rarely is he not able to give you an image or information on just about anything connected with this hobby.
