I second what Andy said.

Joe Paget is a club member, I will forward your request to him.

Andy, I would say it is a Miller as it looks nothing like a Villiers. The points are mounted on a brass plate and operated by a cut out in the crankshaft.

Alan, thanks for looking. I had wondered if it was a Countryman but decided no. Cutting width is 18″ wheels are 13″. No sign of any vacant fixing holes or brackets suggesting there aren’t any missing guards. The stainless steel guard at base of drive to cutting head could well be home made. Under the cutting disc is a thin brass cover, looks a bit like a saucepan lid, which is very well worn as it would rub along the ground. At some time the machine has been repainted with what looks like army green. Areas of original paint are a light metallic green. The machine was collected along with a Rotogardener rotatavtor.

I will see if I can get it in the car and bring it to Weeley

Thanks Andy, that is what I was thinking.

Have you tried Briggsbits

It could be a Wrigley, or based on one.

My copy arrived yesterday and I have now uploaded a copy to the website.

Yes they can be registered for road use, have a look at the DVLA website.

Thank you for your suggestions, these will be discussed and considered at a future committee meeting.

Neil Jarrett, (ransomes256 on this forum) is the man for spares and information.
To start the engine yoiu need to pull out one of the two buttons on the rear of the clutch, engine may need turning over slowly to get it to engage.
