Hi Casey,  my engine is in pieces at the moment, new rings, bearings etc. the old girl was fairly well worn, but if the link above works my engine is the same as this one.
Hope it comes out looking as good.
Details are 5.5 inch bore,  stroke 6 inch stroke. had to source the new rings from America.
This one is petrol, I take note of your little addendum below your name. I am a diesel fan also even have a diesel car and being a retired farmer here in Oz have owned a few diesel tractors and modern diesel stationary engines. Always on the look out for ancient diesel ones
Kind Regards
Mike

I would like to know if any one can help me find out the build date of my engine

It is a model L    engine number    74908     Spec number  83L

                                                6.5 hp    at 500 rpm

If some one can help me I would be very grateful   I have had it for 64 years and used it to pump water  and drive a sawmill  . I am in Australia not to many people know about these old ones.  I think it would have been built between 1920 to 1930

Cheers    Mike
