Looking for information on David Dunbar its been a long time since I last talked to him. David worked building engines of all types he machined everything himself. Would anyone know David.

I sold David a tractor a few years ago. Very interesting gentleman. I believe he is from SE Mass.

Ronnie you are talking about a very special very knowledgeable man. I had the pleasure of talking to David many times but unfortunately I lost his contact info. He is a lot like you Ronnie full of great info with the credentials to back it up. Good luck.
Cheers

I gave David a bunch of blocks back about 15 or so years ago. But I think he had cancer , not sure, long time ago. Yes he was a very talented man.

KDL · 12-27-2019, 09:30 AM

Ron,
PM sent with David's contact info.

Jay in Mass · 12-27-2019, 09:50 AM

This past summer I saw Dave a few times at the Friday night cruise in Halifax which is near Plympton. He was not looking well. Let us know if you were able to contact him with the info from KDL. Yes...He is a wealth of knowledge.
I'll look and see if I have another number to reach him.

Im happy to report thanks to Karl I talked to David today and hes doing fine. David continues to keep busy building all types of engines at his own pace.
