WOW Wristspin. the parts manual is the same as the one as on allotment garden that is linked on this site HOWEVER yours is SO much better you can see all of the components on the diagrams and the belts part list is a welcome bonus. Thank you thank you so much.
Take care and stay safe, Mike

Hi Wristpin I have the earlier model with the sliding engine, that’s why I have been struggling, a few pictures of the early red ones, even few of the green ones but loads of information and pictures of the jockey wheel models and gardeners. Why couldn’t Mountfield just call them M1 A,B,C ETC????
I would greatly appreciate any literature you have Wristpin.
Thank you , stay safe and take care, Mike

Thanks Charlie, I’ve looked at them from one of your other replies, I suppose I am going to have to strip it down and measure everything and try and go from there. It’s Strange there is very little information on the M1’s yet the Merry tillers and Howard’s landmasters etc have loads of information on there variants.
I will start stripping and post my progress
Take care and stay safe,
Mike

I have managed to work out my engine and carb etc, still don’t know what the variant of the frame is.

some closer inspections have revealed that there are some leaks around the engine and one of the rotor drive shafts. I have sourced a NOS full gasket kit and identified the bearing (in the manual that has clutch on handle)as rls8 but get nothing for the mountfield part number are they the same on them all?
the muffler has bee replaced as said before and is low profile so leaving soot and deposits on the deck can you still get the “tin can” mufflers with thread as the exhaust bore is threaded?

I would like it to look as original as possible the original mountfield paint looks like a howard orange rather than the mountfield red, does anyone know what the RAL or BSP numbers would be or should i just use mountfield red?

cheers, Mike
