When you think you’ve got big stuff

[Beeezer]

That's nice. What's it for a barley crusher? What are the notches in the flywheel for? Are they for barring it over to a starting angle, or lubrication or something?

starter motor...........

Barring engine as Pete said.

It's all safe from spencer, well the drill might fit, but all the rest is just to big to get down the side alley of the house...

Went to visit a pal today, we’ve chatted on the phone for years but Ive never had time to visit.
Hes a very humble man and just said hes a farmer that has a go.
I took a couple of pictures of him next to his machines.
I feel like myford boy now!

Its fairly certain no ones going to run off with those quickly...

I heard of a person who had such equipment out that way, when I lived in Paglesham many years ago...never managed to locate it but had an idea....

He’s getting ready to pull the engine from the big rb as the last owner did a poor conversion, I believe it was electric.
To give indication of size you can stand in the engine bay

Bucyrus were involved in Gold Dredges back in the late 1800s/early 1900. Turns out they got into open cast mining equipment and came to the UK when they joined with Ruston in Lincoln.
