 Guys (and Gals)

 Im a long time lurker here and I thouht maybe you guys could help me out
 identifying a piece of heavy machinery bought an an auction.

 Well maybe not heavy but it is construction equipment. I have a mini
 trackhoe identified as follows from the data plate.

 Hanix MiniGiant
 Model N080-2
Machine No. N0811483

 Engine model C50L
 Serial No. 9618

 Whant im mainly interested in is the engine. Who makes it? is there a
 local parts supplier for it (In the US) In partilular I need a new starter
 for it. Is there something in place of OEM starter i can use? The machine
 does NOT have a starter, it was removed before I got it.

 The only parts supplier i can find is in the UK and he wants $900 USD for
 it which I think is ridiculous. This is a 2 cyl .5 liter deisel engine.

 Any info would be appreciated such as guesses of shaft rpm, torque,
 horsepower. etc.

 I bought this to get my feet wet before I actually attempt an MV since I
 know nothing about deisel engines or hydraulics.

 Thanks in advance.
