He'd brought elsewhere and had recovered the water pump from it. Sold it as is still on the wooden sled. Original condition and looks like a complete engine, but hadn't been going for some time - diesel remaining in tank had gone off and there was about a litre of water in the bottom of the sump. Currently under restoration, engine has been dismantled and is being cleaned. Looks generally OK inside except for all bearings on the crank which will need overhaul/replacement. 47282 Engine number - year 1954 Type YB see generator 4708 47839 Engine number - year 1954 Type ETB Seen on E Bay 4796?

It is the first E. T.C I have seen painted green ( see photo in T.O.M.M.) instead of the usual reddish brown. I don't think it will take much to have this one up and running, maybe just a "liquid restoration" - cleanup, new paint and oil.
