Description

Mountain portable engine.

Previous owner: Mr Umberto Panini of Modena. Due to its small size, this machine is particularly versatile, which made it well suited for use in hilly and mountainous areas.

It was purchased in 2005 and underwent expensive repairs, since several parts of the machine were missing and it was also in poor condition.

Specifically, repairs involved the reverse flame boiler, internal smoke chamber, tubes, grille, hatches, regulating valve, and Watt-type regulator.

The portable engine is now in perfect working order.
