Engine Information

Hi, I have just bought a stationary engine and would like some information on it please, on the engine plate it says ASSOCIATED MF'RS Co. LONDON Ltd.
                                                                                                                                                                     46/48 WHARFDALE RD.
                                                                                                                                                                     KINGS CROSS
                                                                                                                                                                     LONDON, N1.
                                                                                                                                                                     TYPE 4.5  No. 44461
any information would be helpful.
Thanks, Bernard.

Well its an Amanco, but a picture will help us all to help you, as would the horsepower and a serial number.

I haven't got the engine yet but I will send you a picture when I get it, the horsepower is 4.5 and the serial number is 44461.
Thanks.

Sounds like a Bradford Amanco....

Yes thats what the engine looks like.

Except twice the size if its 4.5hp

Could somebody tell me how to start and stop my 4.5HP Bradford Amanco engine, I am unfamiliar with this type of engine, also could somebody date the engine for me.
Thanks, Bernard.

Hello Bernard,

A lot of useful Amanco info here...dating tips (although on one forum the advice from members to another trying to 'date' his Amanco was to not be shy and just ask it out...oh dear lord... )

A couple of very good links but unfortunately they are for the American Amanco engines and not the Bradford Amanco....

Information on the Bradford Amanco is thin on the ground but I know someone has it, just can't remember who!!!

hahahaha - oh dear - my bad... so not so blinking useful - but at least we can learn a thing or two - well I can...

Thanks for the help guys.
Bernard.
