Hello, All! I've asked for some information on this engine before to this group, but did not get any response, so I'm trying my luck again with a little but more info/confusion! This will be my first "old/not so old" engine I'm rebuilding, although I have rebuild some recent (+/- 10yrs old) petrol/diesel engine as a hobby.
The following from the nameplate on the engine: PETTER TYPE AP1 No. 1546000 BS rating. 3 b.h.p. 1500 rev/min. ENGLAND
I had trouble dating this engine on the

website with the AP1 and Engine Number information at first, but saw people talking about a PA1 Petter in some groups. After looking up PA1 and 1546000, I eventually think the engine is from the 50's or 60's. Now for the questions/favors (-: please :-) Is it a AP1 or PA1, the nameplate definitely says AP1? (Did I mention I'm in South Africa, could it be a misprint/stamp on the nameplate when it was imported?) I swapped this engine, would you believe it, for a CCTV camera to watch over a piggary! Upon opening it I found the oil thrower lying in the sump with all the consequences that followed! Luckily the crank is OK, but all bearing/bushes obviously not. I desperately need any documentation, i.e. Owners-, Service Manual, for this engine please. (Electronic format will be greatly appreciated)
With best regards, (Sorry for the long post)
