Nice work mate. I was using a small fire fightinhg pump on the weekend that i got off my grandfather that looks very similar to this. The only difference is that is has a low oil level cut out and it was a 1988 model. I'm guessing yours would have to be an early to mid 80's model. Has the same stickers and controls and exact same colour. Cheers mate.

The year are the first two number in the code, the long one after the model, type, and trim numbers.

1 some one painted it from black to red and did an obvious oil change

[@SuperGeokiller]

It looks like it had a pump on it. on the top of the engine there should be a model type and code number on the shroud tell me the code numbers and I can tell the the year and the day it was made
