There may be a makers label somewhere under all the rust and dust. Characters cast into the crankcase MIGHT give some sort of clue. (casting number? ) Howard

652 forum posts 33 photos	Probably worth asking on the UK engine forum, https://ukengineforum.forumotion.com/forum As to whether it's scrap, the saying is that if it casts a shadow it can be restored. It all depends how much you enjoy the suffering. George B. Edited By Georgineer on 18/04/2021 16:33:16
