31001    Engine number   -    year   1949    Type    AXC     Restored               Devon - in Victoria

31071    Engine number   -    year   1948   AXCYear 1948 Sydney NSWCrank shaft turns OK and the engine looks

                       reasonably clean. When I pulled the covers off it looks like the engine had run out of oil, and melted

                      the  white metal bearing. Connecting rod has loosened up enough on crank to  give sufficient free play

                      for the end cap to collect on the crank and rip  it off. Piston has fallen down and as the crank has turned

                      it's collected  the connecting rod and smashed the bottom of the piston up to the pin. Able to save

                      compression rings though. Picked this up on ebay in 2006 from  Griffith. The guy had bought it to

                      restore with his kids but decided not  to and sell instead. Sold this and engine 30942 together with a 

                      centrifugal irrigation pump.
