Hello. The story has it as being used to drive a generator at the Mourilyan Sugar Mill. It was made in the 1920’s. The engine was rescued from a barn a few years ago in pieces. It was lovingly reassembled and mounted on the skid frame upon which it now sits. It was intended for use in displays but the size prohibits that somewhat. It’s very much all original except for the injector being from a Lister I believe. It took a little starting on the day but in typical Gardner fashion it didn’t fail to start. Certainly something that one could sit all day watching
What a stunning engine. Great you blokes restore and preserve history. When I saw the crocks, I thought that's nice n safe. Then I saw the other Bogans in bare feet around an environment like that, my heart sunk in the thought of the possibilities
with present day copy design programs,3d printing etc scrap pistons from locomotives (GE and EMD) the pistons are usually between 9-10 inches. EMD 645 and 710 engines use a 9-1/16” bore, a GE 7FDL has a 9” piston and a GEVO 12 is 250mm bore, or 9.8”. They weigh around 50 lbs each. and a ,piece of a head valve assembly , etc and large flywheel , steel from scrap yard these can be reproduced , only tricky part is mag which may be able to be replaced with electronic ignition and a crank sensor

What an amazing old engine, typical Gardner engineering. Can you please share with us the history of this beauty !!

They look quite simple in assembly. This one is diesel. Were there gasoline variants also made?
@@kelsokustomsandunderwaterh2178 i have a hot bulb one
If I had taken that long to start a engine in the power house when i was working i would be out of a job
Yeah, it took a bit of getting going. Heated the glow plug twice.
There are starting processes that they have to follow
How do you get the belt on it while running?
Normally the belt is always on when they were is use but this engine does not run anything anymore. It is just used for static displays. Cheers
Beautiful dose it use much D.E.F.
Certainly is mate but what is D.E.F in your terms?
