Since Newark tractor world I have been studying all my books and sales brochures on jalo. I think seeing the jalo wheelbarrow and being shown a copy of Jalo journal along with the letter inthe cultivator about jalo plus my latest additions to my own collection I feel I really want to build up solid history data of the jalo and then with the help of trusty 220 add this history to our clubs website survivor tab for all to access. If you can help me please get in touch via ivanclark@totalise.co.uk or ring me after 18.30 on 01509 413813 together I’m sure we can build up an interesting history for many to enjoy, thanks in advance Ivan

I will be pleased to include the Jalo history in the “Survivors” section when you’re ready, Ivan. It is already building into a very useful archive and any information that we can include in there (on any make of machinery) will be welcomed.

Please would everybody support Ivan with information for this little project.

Thank you, All.

Many thanks go to Sam, Alan and Charlie for there prompt replies. I have today found a full page advert in a March 1955 amateur gardening magazine showing the cast aluminium wheel model . So did the press steel with rubber tyre model get launched. Still need some data of earlier all steel model.

I will have to trawl through the pile of Amateur Gardening and Smallholder magazines I have and scan any adverts I find.
