Engine Build 28 December 1972 at Darlington Operations UK
This is the first start in years, and the first start while mine.
This Engine was originally used to power an Ingersoll Rand Air Compressor
As new i produced 210 Hp @ 3300 rpm

Economy.
I paid about a thousand dollars for the whole compressor and engine at a scrapyard. After parting it up and selling various parts, I ended having paid ~500 dollars for this Cummins engine.

I have not rebuild it.
What I have done after freeing the engine from the compressor is:
Building a stand for it with batteries, fuel cell and wiring, easy moveable with a pallet lifter.
Pressure washed it with steam.
Repaired the starter with a new rotor and adjusted the solenoids.
Painted the engine and stand squirrel grey.
Fixed a diesel leak at the governor shaft.
Mounted an expansion tank for cooling water. There is no radiator, but the engine circulates water with anticorrosive, giving it a runtime for about a half an hour.
