I know it might be far fetched, But Jay Jeno had a lower half of HRG engine (think Meadows engine) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZUG...735F5B&index=5
and there was also a feature about 3d scanning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n60N...735F5B&index=3

Maybe some this could help

I think the Hurg used the 4 cylinder, 1500cc Meadows Unit unfortunately.

Hi Colin,

Awesome job. In case you do not have it, a picture from the book 'Tanks in the East'.

And if my eyes are not deceiving me, the following tank is 272 Platypus (another survivor, now in USA). Good photo!

From the thickness of the (single) aerial, I'd say it's using 'D' rods and therefore probably a Wireless Set No.11 (unless it's really early).

Nice photo, Philip! Now Colin can plan a vacation with Wombat and Bowerbird to do a ‘Then and Now’ photo shoot at that spot.

Looking at that photo, is that part of the driver’s face just above the fire extinguisher, in the corner where the upper edge of the sideplate meets the headlamp box? If so, he sits quite far back in the vehicle. Must have been quite uncomfortable, when buttoned up, to have to use the Driver’s viewing port.

Phillip, what a great photo. I don't think I have seen that one and it does clarify that the name of Wombat is white on green and not on a black backing. Thanks for posting
The crank is now exposed and all bearings have been removed, inspected and just put back into place. They actually look good as does the crank but I have a mech coming over this arvo to check it out for me. The bottom riser needs replacing and the sump as well.
