ZD 30 Engine wanted - to rob spares off...

Hi All,
I am looking for a ZD30 to rob some spares off - my oil filter bolts vibrated loose and have caused substantial damage to all the gears in the timing chain housing. Any suggestions? Does anyone know of an engine out there which has retired for other reasons that I can make an offer on?
Otherwise I am going to have to do a conversion... Whole different can of worms...
Thanks
Bruce :pray:

Hi Bruce

After a hand grenade in 2011, I took my ZD30 out without bothering to open up and check the extent of the damage.
The engine resides with a farmer friend of mine near Potties who wanted to use it as a generator.
He never got around to it, so it is still lying there on his farm yard.
PM me if you want to fetch it.

If I recall the glo-plugs were still new before the hand grenade.

Hi all,
Thanks to those who have tried to help. Alex, I am still trying to track down your old motor :-) Seem to have hit a dead end.
Any other ideas? Desperate to find a ZD30 scrap motor...
Thanks
Bruce
