As far as the second machine's original engine, it remains a mystery at present. Once I start the restoration process, I may be able to determine what sort of adaptor plate, if any, was used. It seems that many American models were fitted with a Tecumseh V70 engine. The 'Power Farming' listing makes reference to a 5 3/4 hp, 4 stroke engine. Quite possibly a Kirby, but the engine brand is not mentioned.
The 5 litre ILO fuel tank actually has a reserve fuel capacity, with a off/normal/reserve fuel tap that incorporates the sediment fuel filter.
