What do you need to know? Have one, and have seen a few. They do come up for sale from time to time if you look out for them.

There's sure to be more if you search old posts.
Volks power had a few when I was there AGES ago.

You could also just bolt a pump to the 1916 you re-building 😀

Hi

A guy I know in Melbourne built a mulcher with 1600 Type 3 motor, he used an IRS gearbox with the blades running off the cv output, needless to say it didnt lack power for those tough tree trunks. That would be a useful project.

I used to do work for a seismic company that used VW engines to power a small drill rig that could be slung under a small helicopter to get to remote locations.

They used to have heaps of them. The engine used to operate a small hydraulic pump which drove the small drilling head.
