First one is a 5(501) or 15(502) The second is either a 6puts or a 12 puts. Second machine was made obsolete by the launch of the 5/15.(20+ years ago).
The 5(501) or 6 will be 1.5hp and the 15(502) or 12 will be 3hp.
Depending on condition the first machine would be the one I would buy.

Thanks for the reply the 5 or 501 that gary identified was leaking oil and riping that to fix might have lead to bigger problems so the 6 pua is my other choice from what ive read so far it seems possible to swap a 1.5kw motor to a 2.2kw if so is it worth doing as i have access to a 3 hp motor
