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

[Dave Rotigel]

Thank you Patrick, That's the information that I needed! I guess that Rob 
was right and I was wrong!  Looks as if a 10,000 GVW trailer is the next 
step. Anyone wanting to see this beast running can do so at: 
http://engines.rustyiron.com/austral/austral-movie.html Rob tells me that 
he starts it by himself.
