jake_crew 49 Report post #1 Posted April 28, 2016 From a stationary engine forum. New rings fitted and it has good compression, the bearings all feel good but I think that it needs a proper glowplug starter or pyrotechnic starters, something that I do have. I have fitted a glowplug from a modern diesel and had it firing so it is not that far off! It has a forward/reverse gearbox and water pump. I have some literature for it too.£800ono in Wickford http://www.stationary-engine.net/forum/showthread.php?t=42018 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike the Boilerman 6451 Report post #10 Posted April 28, 2016 Getting it back from Ireland is gonna cost more than the engine! I'd say from the photos its the little one. About 10hp at 1500 rpm I'd imagine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
springy 32 Report post #11 Posted April 28, 2016 What's the power and speed? relatively low based on size by comparison with other items in view - could be a 13A which would make it 10 hp at 800 rpm beaten to it by mike springy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike the Boilerman 6451 Report post #12 Posted April 28, 2016 It certainly doesn't look as hefty as mine, and mine's 22hp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jake_crew 49 Report post #13 Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) I assumed it was Wickford in Essex but his profile on the S/E forum gives no more clues although he mentions the Oakley sale (near Oxford) in a few threads so I suspect he's not in Ireland.

jake_crew 49 Report post #15 Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Dan has replied and says "Thanks for that, I appreciate your help.From memory, I think it is rated 10hp at 100 rpm. It is called a 13B. My mobile number is 07979 xxxxxx.Many thanks" I can PM his mobile number to anyone who wants to know. Also, from what others have said I wonder if he means 1000 rpm ?

zenataomm 1199 Report post #17 Posted May 2, 2016 On eBay it says 1000 rpm (which is a shame!) however it seems it's in Essex (which is good). I'd throw a handful at it if I still had a van, but I don't. (which is sad) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
