vintage stationary engines are defined by the national vintage tractor and engine club(N.V.T.E.C.) as engines designed and produced prior 31st Dec 1945 although more unusual or rare later models are accepted. this was the first main application of the internal combustion engine in the early 1900s there was a vast increase in number of engines manufactured. in the USA alone some 2,000 companies were formed and many of their engines were imported into the UK. one popular make from America was the Associated manufacturing company which was usually shortened to amanco. There were also several British and European manufacturers although most of these no longer exist. few that do survive can help with parts, but they do help with information if available.
