This is a 4hp Buzacott mounted on a transporter shared with the Massey-Harris. Its' serial number is 7135, testing date 22/5/1929. Hp. Developed- 4.31. Original Magneto- Lucas (it is currently fitted with a Wico A).
The Buzacott was found lying in tall grass on a farm at Springdale, New South Wales. All that could be seen was the flywheels. It was complete and unseized despite having lain there for some time.
It originally drove a sheep shearing plant which I have though it is rusted solid.
The engine
is now mounted on a Ronaldson-Tippett transport for ease of movement.

This is the
"dash-pot". This is on the govenor linkage. Its purpose is to
smooth the action of the govenor to make a smoother running engine.
