Hi Mike,

That looks like a great restoration project.

You will need a decent sized crane to get that moving, Any idea what make it is?

aside from the sideshaft and a few other ancilleries, the engine isnt too bad, obviously it may be frosted, but that would probably go again, steam rollers in worse conditon get restored

Looks to me like a Spring Injected Blackstone in a Avelling Porter motor roller. Going by the engine I would date to early 1930s.
