Hey guys

i picked myself up an old AG but it has no engine just wondering how hard would it be to source one or would you think it would be easier just to put a different brred of engine in?

also how similiar are BD to AG in the gearbox?

Hi Keith on further inspection the 3 crawler is a Fowler Mark VF found a plate tucked away simliar to http://http://restored-classics.com/tractors/page5.html

Thanks for offering gearbox parts they may come in handy the 2 machines both have there gear box's one is disassembled the other has been filled with water and it seized pretty good im curious do you have a clutch? if you want to sell the machine as a whole im willing to do a deal thanks.

hey mate im just wondering where you sourced a new piston from and am wondering if you could tell me of a place to get some sleeves for that type of engine

Cheers Josh

Hey Keith, the crawler with the perkins?? is a mix of a machine im not exactly sure what it is i has no plates i got the machine off my uncle when he passed away he told me about it i used to be a single cylinder but he converted it to a diesel 4 cyl it has a blade on it which is off a cat and all the hydrolics are homemade... even the rams are homemade... smart man will have to take some photos of it.. its been stuck on a hill for 3 years i ran it off its track and havnt been able to fix it to the modifactions hes made to it... And for where he got it from im not to sure i think its from the bundy district but im not positive. the 2 BD's are im told

im no photographer   everything is there but i cant find the clutch yet had water sitting in the bores it only caused surface rust tough little engines
