Hi all !!
as you kmow,im a proud owner of a lovely e1adkn/tvo major,from 1952. now i want to know,what is the official hp rating on these
engines???

Hello Jan,

Something round 34 bhp I think.

Check this picture, it is the Dutch translation of the measurements make at the UK "DLG" in the early 1950's.

These say 32.4 BHP on the belt pulley drive.

Best regards

Emiel

ps: These 32 are very big horses. We used to have a 40 HP 3 cilinder Hanomag who performed less to my idea.

Specc of the three engines at 1600 rpm from 1952 are:

Diesel .. 40.5 bhp
Petrol .. 39.5 bhp
Kerosene .. 38.5 bhp

These would be bare engine figures so they would loose a few more HP through gearbox and ancillary equipment.

Hi,and thanks

when she is ready,i will work/treat her not so hard.so i think
that`s ok with the power.
and Henk,rhe Hanomag have not 3,6 l,must be around 2,5-3,0l-
but more Rpm`s)that`s why he have "more" power.
but anyway.

thanks again
