***NEWS FLASH**The eagle has landed**NEWS FLASH***

think the yellow one does it for me

Well done, patience pays off 3 yrs after the raffle draw. The little cat has a nice chunky look. Will look very Swish (excuse the pun) when it's all shiny. Good luck.

Interesting machine. Where do you get those super singles nowadays???

Lookin' good Swish.

Motor has full pressure lubrication with oil pump outside and overhead camshaft & hemi head, and separate block. 41/2 in bore 5in stroke 1000 rpm 25HP.

I thought it looked OHC... A bit like a Vintage Bentley.

Swishy, how about a special inlet manifold with two SUs, raised CR, gas flowed head, an extractor and balanced rods & crankshaft - I reckon there's at least 75 hp (!) in there :

Other than that, congrats.

no wonder they flogged it off in a raffle. It's broken.

seriousley..... That;s a tidy little machine, shouldn't
take too mutch to get it going. What are parts like to
get fo an early one like that?....

One of me mates has a D73T and and has trouble getting some bits sometimes.........Mark

I hope not to much of that debris has gone through the mains,have you pulled a cap off to have a look?

Hello,I reckon new parts be in the unobtainium bin. Last year I had my 1929 Nash 6cyl block rebored by 30 thou, this cost $286. JP Pistons in SA supplied new pistons and rings for $781, just send them an old piston and the oversize required, I broke an oil ring when fitting and they made another promptly.
Had water in sump of 2 Ton, head off and on a couple of times then discovered corrosion in head where oil returns down a front and rear bolt so blocked off the leaky one. David.

I was over at William Adams in Boundary Road Laverton North 2 days ago and sitting in their Spare parts section is a fully restored 2 ton Cat like yours i didn't have my camera with me. If you are over the Left side of Town have a look, if not i may be able to call in and get some photo's.
