Hello Charlie.
As mentioned by Dave 6.00×22 have not been made for 30+ years, I tried to locate the whereabouts of moulds several years ago, but it seems they have been destroyed/lost.
Apart from Plowmate, Iron Horse, they also fit David Brown 2D, Coleby shire, Garner 2 wheeler and 4 wheeler, Gunsmith et etc.
Most surviving tyres are now showing their age with cracked sidewalls etc, most important to shield them from the sun.

This committee member is also on the fiddle! mine is in approximately the same condition, I will take some photos and post them on here, my fiddle is also broken but it will give you an idea of what the middle part looks like.

Best wishes

I thought I would add a photo of the Brosson ‘rainmaker’ now that it is reassembled and back in working order following a bit of TLC.

Hello Jonny
I found my handbook eventually, there is not much detail, but there is a parts list I am afraid.
I hope you got sorted.

Hello Jon.
I think I may have an owners handbook somewhere, I will have a look. There may be an exploded diagram inside.

Hello there.
I think it is a B.O.I.L sprinkler (British overhead irrigation Ltd), not sure where they came from, with a bit of research I guess you could find out more.

Thank you Alan, it is the same one.
Mine is now in pieces, but will be back working again soon.

Thank you for the information chaps, most useful.

I will need to start a shopping list! Starting with wooden handles and a flywheel cover, I think I have most of the other bits needed, but time and skinned knuckles will tell!

I too was lucky enough to find a copy of the book by Mr Ashby, who came from Hailsham in Sussex, not very far from where we used to live, in fact My Father was a pupil at Knights Nurseries in Hailsham, they have now become ‘Sussex plants Ltd’ and still going strong.

I hope this works!
