    Shay incorporated tanks in handles but you say the tank is on the handle. Nice if you could put a photo on, someone might have one in there shed and come up with the answer.

    I just wondered if it’s a Landmaster L150, this one belongs to Brian Reynolds, or it may be a Howard Hako but there’s a picture in 50YOGM….

    That was my initial thought Charlie , hence asking if it was a rotavator , it’s the only machine that springs to mind as having an air intake running through the tank.

    nigel, have a look at SIMAR lots of info and photos. I also have owners manual and parts list. Under the cowling is a more square looking cover.

    Look forward to seeing pictures. Have a look for a brass tag with a serial number on it on lh side of casting around flywheel.

    That number I am guessing is the engine number, no records for those, as it does not match machine serial numbers for that model.
