Gentlemen,
My brothers partners father died recently and they are sorting out his small holding, no engines but several vintage tractors, and I was given the opportunity to see if there was anything of use for me to have. Today I came home with a Tripod lifting hoist rated at 10 cwt which can be easily dismantled so lifting engines onto a trolley etc should no be a problem anymore. Lyn (wife) and I also bought a second hand four wheeled mobility scooter for her to use at rally's and I've had that apart today to sort out a little problem. The motor is 24 vdc with a soft start and two speeds with a variable speed controller, chain drive via a differential. The motor surprised me as its only rated at .55KW, I expected it to be larger than that. On the flat its good for 8 mph.
