Went to see a friend. While there I took a few photo's of his 1954 Eitcher. Starts and is road legal. Runs beautifully and sweet. Nice long stroke air cooled diesel. Fan behind the air filter, driven off the centre pulley in front. While there, Dunc bought this very good condition trailer.

Bit late but Nice to see another with the Octura mount & carb, the water-cooled cylinder with 10mm plug is original, O&R had a part no. for this one, possibly looks repaired where the tubes are attached. The type 193 is a standard engine supplied by O&R for many uses, Octura bought them & would have supplied all the other parts. I'm guessing it doesn't have the special Octura rotary valve, nor does mine & believe it or not, the serial number is only two numbers apart from your engine, someone lost the cooling baffles from mine (the plates with the serial/type decal). Since acquiring mine I have added the Octura carb & an extra noisy open muffler. David
