John, it sounds like it may be the original engine which someone has painted. I will send you some engine information. I have attached a photo of my series 3 machine, with genuine Monrotiller trailer trailer and my son driving. I had a go, not too successful, at matching paint colour which is why the engine cowl is wrong colour.

Might help if you say what engine/machine it is on. Photos are always helpful too.

Alan, as my father always said the only person that never made a mistake was the one that did nothing.

You could try Meetens or Cox and Turner Engineering

4069 was despatched on 15-3-61 and delivered on 21-5-61 to L H Hart, The Rattle Gardens, Westham, nr Pevensey, Sussex.
Can you see if the red paint extends under the plate on engine cowl? If it does it may be that the machine was originally red, I have read that there was a choice of colours but only ever seen the standard colour.

John, It sounds as if someone has changed the engine, is it the same colour as gearbox, an odd metallic grey/blue or green?
Try Meetens for engine parts, ask for Paul. I have owners manuals and parts list for both engines.
