    35 serial numbers run from 35000 to 350997 (July 1950 to May 1958)
    56 serial numbers run from 560001 to 561869 (July 1948 to May 1960)
    A good number of both models were exported mostly Australia and New Zealand, other destinations include Norway and Sweden.

    I have had a look through various operator manuals I have for different Rototiller models, see below:
    50 & 30 Castrol D or Swanshot ST
    50, 51 & 30 Castrol Swanshot or Shell Retinax, one copy has an erratum slip stuck in which also lists Mobiloil C
    35 & 56 Castrol ST or SAE 90
    Unfortunately none of the publications have any dates. The manual that came with my 1948 model 56 has the lubrication page missing.
    One of the important points is to use an ST rather than EP oil. I use Morris Oils AG140.

    you could try a bit of Brasso or T cut to see if red will come back.

    Cant offer any advice as to what shade of red, but I do know red can be one of the worst colours for fading.

    A great weekend as usual. I know it is advertised as a working weekend, it is really a club social get together with the option to work your machines if you want. So if you have not attended because you do not have a machine to work or do not want to work what you have then why not just come along to look and have a chat with fellow club members.

    It certainly looks like a copy, badge engineering maybe? The JALO push hoe in th eUK copied Planet hoe tines and Planet tools would fit the JALO.
    Before anyone else makes a comment, did you intend the photos to be upside down, it is going to tempt someone I am sure!!!!!
