3 inch Burrell traction engine - stock code 5742

A running 3 inch Burrell that requires care, a bit of attention and a repaint - it would make a good rolling restoration that could be used this season whilst being improved. Boiler had just had a new hydraulic test, jobs required include fitting a replacement blowdown valve, rebushing the little end and putting the steering chains on the right way round so you turn the wheel clockwise to go right rather than left (I kid you not).

Silver soldered boiler, feed by injector and mechanical pump. Ramsbottom safety valves. Pickering type governor and mechanical lubricator fitted to block. Cast iron cylinder with slide valve actuated by Stephenson's gear with pole reverser. Two speed transmission with differential, rubber tyres fitted to wheels, winch behind rear wheel with fairleads mounted on tender.

Complete with a driving trolley.
