[SEL] A new toy finally home

[Patrick Livingstone]

It has taken 18 months but the star of my Austral collection is finally
home! I purchased this engine in October 2010 and it finally hit the ground
in my garage today.
The engine is Austral No.755 a 5.5hp portable from 1911 which is actually
originally built as No.182, a pushrod engine, in 1908.

A check over, a good oil up, and it started first pull. Just as one would
expect from an Austral:

I am very pleased with my new toy :)
