I know that my Barndoor should have a 25hp engine but this looks like a later engine to me.

Does anyone know what this is and year please?

Engine number 1580867

Thank you for this info.

I had a 25hp in my last Barndoor and it struggled to reach 40 mph so this time I'm looking for some more hp Very Happy

Write down the 3 x 2 digit numbers near the fuel pump and inside the generator tower.

This will tell you when the case was cast with some minor explaining once you post it up. Happy to explain.
