Serious collector looking for a vintage diesel engine. Prefer something with external pushrods. If you have something in your collection that you care to part with, contact me. Size in not a problem, within reason. Any leads on something would be greatly appreciated. I have been a member here for many years but due to my lack of posting activity, it's saying I'm a new member.Please disregard that. THANKS |

Thanks for the offer Chuck, but those engines are too new. I'm seeking something older. |

Atlas diesels had the external pushrods - 4 for each cylinder - Inlet + air start + injection + exhaust plus a host of pump linkages. Impressive engines but very big and heavy. Lots of youtube vids. |

Yes, I have seen the Atlas Imperials,,very impressive engines and would love to own one of those. Unfortunately, they are rarer than hens teeth and especially the smaller size ones. |
