Is that a Fenner 'Torque Arm' reduction unit? It looks like something that might have come off a bale elevator on a farm, but the dual speed pulley wouldn't altogether sit right with that. Intriguing, and I'd agree, definitely worth restoring in its own right.

Tale I was told, it came off a bale elevator when the machine was converted to run off an electric motor. My friend who's scrap heap I rescued it off may have fitted the pulley as he used the engine after it was made redundant,

@@James_Rivett I did wonder about that. With that in mind, it would certainly fit the bill. We had a similar arrangement on our elevator, but it never got converted to electric because it was also used to pile up the spuds and sugar beet, and leccy juice wasn't available, and wouldn't have been advisable. It'll be nice to see it live again!

Well the comment below is all I know aswell. I would not mind betting that thing will probably run if cleaned and reassembled. Cylinder certainly looks good. 👌

@@NorfolkMancave At the very least you have a decent block to build up another engine if anything went wrong with the one on the Atom. Do you suppose you might just have enough bits to build up a second Atom? Have one for trucking, and one to keep as a garden tractor?

Been watching your startomatic gen set videos from last year did you ever getting it to produce power? I have the same set up on a trolley startomatic lister ld1 really clean all round original paint .. engine starts first turn but makes no electric sadly 😢 willing to sell it pretty cheap if your interested could be an easy fix! 🤷♂️
