Something that has just occurred to me, what are the engine and mower serial numbers? The engine number should be stamped into the engine block above oil filler. Not sure about mower serial number location, possibly on frame near cutting cylinder/front roller.

I looked at the photos and the possibility of a homemade conversion crossed my mind. Knowing how well engineered JP mowers were the strip of metal with 3 bolts in it to extend the rear handle bar attachment does not look right.

They were some good weekends, later Woodborough and now Weeley.

David, the fuel mixture should be 16:1 recommended oils were Castrol two stroke self mixing 30, Castrol XL etc.
Before getting a new exhaust have you checked there is a spark at the plug and that fuel is getting to cylinder?

[charlie]

Dave, is that the one that was advertised in The Cultivator?

[charlie]

Thank you, I wonder if they have any of the old records, I will enquire.

[charlie]

autophil, any link to parts suppliers you have found helpful is always useful.

[charlie]

I suspect not many.

With so many people forced to stay at home there should be some great new restorations out on the rally circuit next year.

One aspect of our hobby is that we have to be inventive at times to come up with a solution to particular problems using what ever resources we have.

The depth bar is made up of several components, the bar, a locking pin, the operating pedal and a spring. From your photos I can see the bar and pin are missing. I have copied the illustration from the owners manual which shows how the depth adjuster fits. Please let me know if you require further information or assistance, I have manuals and parts lists for most Monro Tiller machines.
