D4c 55a

Mate , Hopefully Eddie {EDB} Will be along ,and able to help.As you saw in that old thread ,he is able to make sense of the serial numbers . i believe d4cs had what was refereed to as a buzz bomb pilot motor .They revved high , and self destructed .. I think Member here Wimmera Farmer has a D4C with Buzz bomb .

The UK and States equivalent machines were the 24A and 40A, but beware, I think there was an interim model built with the earlier U series engine in the far east, a photo would help a lot.

The D4C 55A is equivalent to the US 40A series. The pony starter motor assembly is # 8H1543 (12V). I'm have difficulty determining the Delco part number??.

Just curious,why keep the buzzbomb?I went through two of them on my 40A,then changed to direct start.I believe it cost me around $400.Best move I ever made.Too bad you aren't closer as I have a complete buzzbomb I'd make you a deal on(has a hole in the side).

Hi Team,
said machine, D4C 55A 0224, is the same as a USA built D4C 24A 0324.
For service and parts books etc. look for ones that suit D4C 24A 1-up.

To clarify Aussie machines :-
55A1 to 55A199 are equivalent of the USA built 40A 1-up.
55A 200-up are equivalent of the UK built 24A 1-up.

My poor photocopy sheets of Aussie built machines equivalent serial numbers do not copy well enough to scan and load here.

Cheers,
Eddie B.

Hi edb,
According to my literature the 24C is a UK built machine.

Guys,

First of all Thank you! What amazing replies and so quick. I believe this will help us out a a lot.

EBD, thank you!
It is interesting as the serial number plate does say made in GB.
This is the plate. The hard to read bit on the top says made in GR Britain

And either side of the machine

I can take some more detailed photos if this helps? Just tell me what you need

In response to why keep the buzz bomb? Well, Tilly's quoted us $2000 for a direct start conversion. I thought that was a bit excessive. Does anyone know of another place in Australia that could help with this sort of stuff?

Once again thank heaps!
Ben
