I know John Webster (simar-kid) restored a similar engine he might know.
A quick look through my Shay literature and it looks like the mower is a Rotoscythe Countryman
The Shay would make an interesting and unusual addition to someones collection.
Certainly looks the business, well worth the wait.
Photos and report for The cUltivator would be good
Angus, thanks for the info.
catfish, yes. I was curious to know what engine it had as the original would have been a MK15. Not one I will be adding to my collection.
I thought it might be a lightweight model. The carb is a Villiers B10 type used on a number of their engines as an alternative to the type V.
Great news. Has it had a repaint or is that the original paint?
If you need the dimensions and details of end fittings I can give you them using the cable on my 56A.
All you need now are a dozen chickens and you are in business!
A great find, I guess the big question now is who made it?
Has this very tidy looking old Rowtrac found a new home yet?
A gathering of Lister engines this year will be rather poignant as Lister Petter went into administration last week.
One of the problems with the Monro Tiller and other machines with a similar chain drive to the rotors is the bottom wears out, this might explain the wooden case.

Got a machine and need info or have a question? Then a post in the VHGMC forums is a great place to start!
