Hello Dennis - for me it looks like an older Stuart Nr. 8 or 9 or parts from Stuart.
Specially the Flywheel and the Cylinder. I think it can be well rescued and brought back
to live. Nice work for next Winter,  Arnold :D

Apparently it has slip eccentric
3 1/2 inch diameter flywheel
1 inch stroke

Other info will be forth coming as i have decided to buy it
We came to an agreement over price
Not sure how long till it gets here as we are in level 4 lockdown

Cheers
Dennis

I can't contribute anything to the identification of the machine either. But I am already curious about the restoration of the machine.

I don't know what the engine is either, but I bet it will make a very nice setup once it is all cleaned up.

I appear to have a knowledge deficit
I have been offered a steam engine and boiler combo
Boiler is Stuart  engine is a bit of a mystery to me
