Howard took on a contract to build 50 mini gappers but only a few were built as they did not catch on with beet growers and then in the 60s beet seeds were individualy pelletted that meant the seed could with the new drills be planted 6-8 inches apart and there was no need for men to go gapping with hoes or any machine that was used to gap the…[Read more]

Unfortunately the club no longer has anyone listed as the BMB helpline.
One possible way to date them would be from the engine number, this will depend on what engine is fitted as some makes are easier to date than others and if it is the original. -

I am very surprised there are no markings on the edge of the crown wheels as even the spares have them. They should look like this but if you still have a problem please email me njarrett@btinternet.com

We had a large version that looked like a very large fire extinguisher 1930-40s, no idea of make but held getting on for three gallons brimmed, had a carrying strap but a bit on the heavy side. My grandfather and my father used it quite a bit and in the 1963 winter was used to thaw water pipes out to get water for the animals, I never used it for…[Read more]

Thank-you for this.
Interesting… somewhere along the lines I got the idea that the seal was leather. From the looks of the one photo, you have a somewhat loose fitting neoprene(?) washer. I’d guess that that is not the original. -

Sorry Charlie here is the photo. Two seals. One on the pump that is a large O ring. The other is a flat rubber washer inside the cylinder of the pump.
