Tony B Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 falling from the back of a C47? That isn't a stupid as it sounds. Small belt driven engines such as the B&S were used to drive APUs on some aircraft. Looking at the belt pulley I'd suggest the engine could have been used for a multitude of purposes on mobile workshops etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well i'm clearing out the barn so if anyone is interested £50 ono... Turns over okay, plenty of compression... just never got round to doing anything with it... Hell, I'll even drag it to Stoneleigh... (well, maybe not drag it exactly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Proably originally bought to power the milking machine and /or cooler if the mains failed. Nowadays you get a genny that fits on a tractor PTO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienFTM Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The name Briggs & Stratton rings a bell. I suspect they made the 500W generators we used to carry on our command vehicles to run the Command Post without needing to run the vehicle engines. Feature: the end of the fuel lead went into an attachment that exactly matched the hole cover on a jerry can. Open the can, drop the end of the hose into the benz, seal it shut exactly as you normally would and Roberto the latino long-distance lorry driver is your mother's live-in lover.
