Does anyone out there have a cylinder in good condition for a Blaxland X Pup?
If so please advise bore size so I can check to see if my piston and rings will fit.
Thanks Michael |

Fully support your concept of a more formalised group for Blaxland owners and enthusiasts and particularly the development of the history (before it is all forgotten) and to hold technical information to assist owners and restorers.
Would suggest that it be done under the umbrella of an existing club or group so as to avoid legal costs in establishment and also the need for insurance coverage for gatherings (if you don�t have this then whomever organises the outing is financially responsible for any resulting damage and/or hospital bills etc).
Have a look in �The Old Machinery Magazine� as most groups are listed and there is one that has an annual gathering, mainly for tractors but we could fit in.

Concerning Blaxland history, it bothers me that so often the Chapman name is not mentioned. I wonder if younger collectors know that the origins of the Blaxland lie with Chapman?
Briefly, Graham Chapman started building marine engines in 1907 or 08, took on Joe Sherack in 1919, to become Chapman & Sherack. Large numbers of engines built, including the legendary Pup from 1926.
In 1938 they let Blaxland Rae build their engines under licence.
From about 1946, a licence was given to Harris, Scarfe & Sandovers of Perth.
C&S sold out to Blaxland Rae in June 1949.

Joe Sherack was my great uncle from Campsie and drove his Rambler everywhere he went. I have one of the pups I run for family re-unions. |
