====== 3HP Buzacott Restoration ====== ===== 15/05/2007 ===== {{:e:bc1:original-front.jpg?200 |Original condition front view}}I bought the engine from Ian H. in [[http://www.toowoomba.qld.gov.au/|Toowoomba]], Queensland. The engine appears to be in good condition and is nearly complete, with only the dipstick and auxiliary fuel cup cover missing. Ian had some covers cast at a local foundry, and was able to supply me with one. The flywheel does not turn, so something is stuck. Ian tells me it has been run, and a clean out of the cylinder and head should free it up. {{:e:bc1:original-left.jpg?60|Original condition left view}} {{:e:bc1:original-left-looking_up.jpg?60|Original condition left view looking up}} ===== 18/05/2007 ===== {{:e:bc1:original-hopper-rusty.jpg?200 |Original condition hopper with extra rust}}Arrived back home and have the engine set up in the garage on a table made from two 20 gallon drums and a piece of tabletop. The head nuts are very rusted, so taking the hopper off will be a long process of soaking and trying. Unfortunately, the hopper opening is fairly small, so only two of the six nuts are directly accessible with a socket and extension bar - the other two need the use of a universal joint on the socket.
