Paxman 12YJ “Ventura” crankshafts for sale (x2)

Commercial part no: 12YJ17120T  NSN: 2815-99-536-1055

Between 1960 and 1992 over 1,000 Ventura engines were built in Colchester, 426 of them the 12 cylinder version, of which 159 were marine propulsion units and 123 were auxiliary marine ( gen-set) units.

We have been instructed to market 2 new surplus standard 12 cylinder crankshafts, part number 12YJ17120T, ex UK MOD and stored as you would expect in a very secure manner ( DEFSTAN 81.41 Level N -06) in a DEFSTAN.81-71 container.

Packed in 2004, the last 12 cylinder engine was built in 1987 so there will be very few still in operation, but if a crankshaft is needed, here is your chance to buy not just one, but two.

Photos attached below, cranks located in UK please contact us via e-mail (info@lgwservices.com) with your questions or an offer.

Price will be the best sensible offer, ex-works UK.

And thanks as ever to Richard Carr for his excellent work on the “ Paxman History Pages” follow the link if you need to read more about this now sadly missed industrial giant.
