[SEL] 11 horsepower lamp start Austral oil engine--Info Needed

[Lew Best]

Is the 7k trailer 7k load or 7k gvw?  Engine sure looks heavy!!!!!!!!
My 10k gvw weighs bout 2500 so only 7500 for load; if 7k is gvw I sure
wouldn't wanna try it!

Hi All,
	I need to know the weight of an 11 horsepower lamp start Austral
oil 
engine. It can be seen at: 
http://engines.rustyiron.com/austral/ronaldsontippettaustral.jpg I plan
to 
haul it from KA to PA--about 2,500 miles. I think my 7,000 will do the
job, 
but Rob thinks that I'll need a 10,000 GVW trailer. Thus I need to know
the 
weight of this engine. Any help will be appreciated!
	Dave
PS, Inane comments such as "I don't know the engine's weight, but it
sure 
is BIG" will be responded to in an appropriate manner!
PPS, Help me here Reg and Kerry and Edd. If two of you guys from down
under 
can lift it then my 7,000 GVW trailer will be sufficient, If it takes
all 
three of you then I'll have to buy a 10,000 GVW trailer!
