Hi, from tropical Townsville Queensland Down Under
Well Hullo, I am currently restoring a Lister LR1, have a Lister D waiting in the back of the shed, and I'm going to pick up a BSA 120 stationary engine today, so yes I have plenty of British engineering in my collection. I also have a Southern Cross EUC 4HP diesel and a Southern Cross ETB 21/2HP to restore, as well as a 1927 Cooper sheep shearing and crutching plant, restored. Most bases are covered as I have British and Australian engines with a bit of a mix with the Cooper, as the engine is a re-badged Stover from USA, and gee I've only been involved for 18 months. I will be asking questions such as what colour paint, was X engine and seeking parts suppliers.
Hope you can put up with me.
Dave

Re: Hi, from tropical Townsville Queensland Down Under
Thanks to everyone for the welcome. I've just picked up the BSA 120, but no photos yet as it's dark, will post some in the morning. It turns over, but not much compression, and the air cleaner is missing off the carby so I don't know how much garbage is in there.
I'll have to figure out how to add a photo!
