Tires are rather perished The size appears to be dunlop 20×4 how hard is it to get new rubber cleated or stock grasstires. wheels look the same as mayfield ???? Delighted to have the original brockhouse engine. Must watch out for a tool bar..

Tyre size is 20 x 4
Brockhouse engine is the industrial version of Spryt engine two stroke 1:20 mix,engine was also used in Brockhouse corgi mini motorbike for paratroopers, in bike is kick start in hoemate recoil starter
Interesting attachment would be front cutterbar or trailer with brakes and seat !!

The Brockhouse engine is rope start (not recoil start).I have a front cutterbar mower for mine as well as a plough and cultivator.

Rather jealous i have a plough but no tool bar. What colour should the nose be as mine is red and many i see are raw ali ??

[stuart]

Yes mine is red too (its all in original condition and never been repainted which is just how I like them :)).

Not sure about cast fronts being painted red ,none of the BMB literature I have shows painted fronts even black and white there is distinct lighter colour to fronts
There would also appear to be various patterns of cast front
At the end of the day as with paint colours it is your machine and a “as found” condition to me just records the life of the machine
Couple of illustrations from literature attached
