From Russell Ward:

Quote:

I have another couple of interesting ones for you. They are both in Palmerston North. Nobody can identify the green one but I am sure I have seen a similar one on the web.

The other one, the owner assures me is a marine engine. It has a brass plate on the block with Labor in raised letters also it has a gear type circulating pump driven off the camshaft. I also am sure I have come across that brand too. I am sure your wizards will identify both quite quickly.

All the best.
Russell.

The first engine is a Gray "R" crankcase with a ???? for a cylinder. Also the flywheel is ?????
What the second one is I have no idea.

the second engine is a felix. the one I restored had the base the other way round. it wasn't used as a marine engine either,it was used as a chop chop engine on a cane farm in north qld Australia.
cheers from Killer.

Thank you, Killer. I have just been browsing in "The Classic Twin Cam Engine" by Borgeson and was interested to see a few pages devoted to the Labor Automobile and Aircraft concern which appeared to make cars and engines in France up to 1910 (none twin cam).
Now, I am sure that you are right about the engine being anything other than a Labor because that ID plate is rivetted on and not cast into the cylinder.
It does raise some questions about why someone would want to rivet a plate with the name Labor on to an engine in an obscure part of the world.
Could you post a pic of the Felix that you have?
Regards Russell.

YOU WILL HAVE TO TELL ME HOW TO POST A PIC. I'M FAIRLY NEW TO THIS WEB STUFF! ONE REASON I HAVE BEEN TOLD FOR REBADGING FELIX ENGINES IS BECAUSE THEY WERE OF GERMAN DESIGN AND/OR MAKE AND WERE A BIT HARD TO MARKET DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR BUT THIS DIDN'T SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOSCH MAGNETO'S FITTED! I HAVE SOLD MY ENGINE TO A BLOKE IN MELBOURNE WHO HAS 70 PLUS FELIX ENGINES (SINGLES & TWINS)! ANOTHER SCORCE ADVISED ME THAT 'FELIX' WAS CAST ONTO THE WATER JACKET AT MANUFACTURE BUT USUALLY GROUND OFF SALE IN AUS. YOU SHOULD FIND MOST THREADS ARE METRIC SIZES.
CHEERS FROM KILLER. PS. IF YOU EMAIL ME YOUR POSTAL ADDRESS I MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEND YOU SOME PHOTOS & INFO ON MY ENGINE.
