I dont know what should be there John as i cant find a good enough Google image of a KS280 showing the handlebars / swivel area.
I think the KS280 has an alloy plate riveted somewhere on the handles giving the model number,engine type and machine serial number ??.Maybe you can confirm if this is on yours ??.
This is the only photo i took of my smaller AC-2 showing the handles which as you can see has a large decal on them.
February 27, 2014 at 8:16 pm #6048vhgmcbuddyMemberyes stuart we have a makers plate with serial no and engine type and not forgetting the makers model of tiller will get them soon.shame about the decal but I think it may have something about, make sure tiller out of gear before starting etc.

Do you know what amount of oil goes into chain case ? There is no fill line other than filler plastic cap at the top.
March 1, 2014 at 3:54 pm #6069vhgmcbuddyMemberWent down to local Halfords today to get a match on the off white of the tinwork on this machine. the nearest eye match was Leyland Rover White. so with a can of white primer in one hand and the Leyland paint in the other made haste to the shed. Also after rubbing down the stand/ cowcatcher it appears that it may have been either chrome or silver. so as I had a can of silver aluminium on stock which I always use for revitalising engine fins and casings I had decided this was going to cover the stand.
March 1, 2014 at 5:57 pm #6074stuartParticipantOn my AC-2 chaincase there is a small screw on the side which acts as a level.Add oil untill it just starts to come out of hole.Maybe yours,allthough a differemt model,has a similar level screw ??
March 1, 2014 at 6:49 pm #6078vhgmcbuddyMemberokay I have seen a small screw at the bottom,but I thought it maybe a type of drain plug. will take a closer look when working in the chaincase area. many thanks for your imput.
March 1, 2014 at 7:07 pm #6079vhgmcbuddyMemberWhile all this is going on I am hunting around the web for machine decals for this when its finished. up to press I have got them all EXCEPT the one on the handle bar yolk. its in white with a square border and it could be related to a warning on starting the machine out of gear. anyone who can remember what it says or has a photo please forward to this project. just by chance I found this logo while I was sanding rear depth leg. its the one which is mounted in the bonnet recess BINGO

March 6, 2014 at 9:01 pm #6224vhgmcbuddyMemberYes Stuart ,now I have changed the colour I am sure when combined with the red you will want to eat it, only joking ! the red is Tornado Red White is Light Ivory.
March 6, 2014 at 9:16 pm #6225vhgmcbuddyMemberGoing to be smart John you might not want to get it dirty. Or will we see it in action later on.
March 6, 2014 at 9:46 pm #6226vhgmcbuddyMemberWould like to try it out but will ask neighbour as i do not have a veg patch
