My bad, auto correct in play! I would be surprised if it were Deere as in John Deere. I saw somewhere it referenced Deere.
Regarding the bearing types, Babbitt is a leaded replaceable bearing usually used for slower moving parts. You will notice in the write up/specs that they reference a replaceable bearing for continuous duty applications. The Staufer is a lubricator, a cap usually filled with grease or lubricant as you turn it.
The style if the casting is rugged and typical for the time primarily because the casting technology was not available to make it thinner.
Hope that helps

Thanks Richard - appreciated. I've seen John Deere small stationary engines at Hanbury steam fair. Quite small, so collectable.

Hit & miss engines have become quite the collectible in the US. Not steam but compact in the range of 1 to 3hp.

Martin, you could try Beamish near Durham and Blists Hill in Ironbridge for larger versions? Tangye is still a brand of Allspeeds, but they concentrate on hydraulic jacks and pumps.

Thanks. The manufacturer plate is definitely Tangye.
It's approximately 6 feet in length and weighs must be 2 tonnes, there are a few other parts that we think may be part of the engine, all really big!!
