This is a Type 2 Massey-Harris. Rated at 4.5hp. Serial number- HC 261. The Massey-Harris was recovered from an outside toilet where it had been stored for twenty years. It had previously worked very hard driving mainly a water pump on a farm at Young, New South Wales.
It is complete including the original glass centered fuel gauge which I have yet to re-attach.
The engine under
restoration.
The engine arriving
home from its first show after restoration. Note that the front of the silencer
is missing as it was blown off by a good backfire during the day.
This is
how the transport which the M-H and Buzacott were mounted looked when my
father brought it home. Originally it would have had a large Sunshine vertical
mounted.
