any rust killer is a no no, as they are generally acid based, and will react violently with zinc galvanizing, and the lime wash residue often found in these sprayers. looks like a strong industrial detergent might be the way to go

have this morning just aquired a cooper pegler syringe style sprayer, with brass name plate, it is of an interesting, probably unique, design. photos to follow when i find the right lead.

[jtg1]

i havent got any in the 50 or so i’ve got, but probably half are un marked and not as yet attributable to a manufacturer. have no recolection of seeing any paperwork for a syringe by them either

not yet, but pelnty of time yet !!!. not finished mr wallingfields new brewery building yet.

got it loaded in the van. identification plate is a george momro one bearing model no, A5D, and number 0323.this as usual dosent relate to the simar records though. The nose cone has had an exstensive rework, as id plate has been re riveted and its been rebuilt with gutter bolts. The paper work with it suggests its been built up from 3 machines with additional parts from “Mechanised Gardening”, around 1987. anyone know what happened to mechanised gardening after ’87?

i think your right, but wasn’t certain, won’t know for certain till i pick it up tommorrow. thought it was a much cheaper option than re fabricating the tin work for the other 3 i have!

paul, will probably be quicker to take some more when i manage to escape from the clutches of mr wallingfield.

hi andy, glad you didn’t!! sorry to disapoint, been the first one i’ve seen with all the tin work.

sadly paul theres always room for just one more simar! think thats 10 now! had multi gardener running, but photos are on the dead lap top. have recovered the hard drive, and awaiting brother recovering the important stuff!

presume it’s a 5, but haven’t seen it yet. was restored and running when it was put in shed 15 years ago. thankfully i’m sill at mr wallingfields b&b, and it’s only 25 miles away.

thanks chris for refering to mine again. it is most certainly a jap derived engine. from years of chasing coleby’s all 4 wheelers i’ve come accross are different. to my knowledge there are two bsa engined models, with a 320, and a 420 cc engine. plus single or twin engine j.a.p engines. in both petrol, and petrol parifin veersions. yours is the first one i’ve seen with a jap derived engine, similar to as fitted in the 2 wheelers. over the years i’ve only come accross 4 4 wheelers other than my own , which has a jap 55 twin. sadly i’ve been without a computer since september, so missed out on this dirth of bay of e exposure.
