Vintage Horticultural and Garden Machinery Club

I have a couple of Shay engines not complete for free
PM me

They are still servicable and will still do a good job with some long handles fitted
I still use these types as they do a perfect job around growing crops. They will never wear out

I have 2 m/c’s that are going for scrap, the older type and the last type. one has a good silencer. I am in Sheffield
The machines are free for collection if anyone is interested

The M/c it came off was a Clifford Mk2 according to (50 yrs gardening machinery)
This is a photo of the engine

I have my doubts now that it’s not an Auto Culta looking at “Fifty years if garden machinery” as the main lump of the m/c was red. I have the roto box and will take pics of both the rotobox and the engine and post ASAP

I think its a 25C, it was on a Auto-Culto 1 m/c which was scrapped, Looks as not had much use

I would think transmission is a centrofugal clutch so the speed is dependant on throttle control

I have one stripped at the moment and had it blasted and painted Post Office Red and it looks good
I would be open to offers as I will not be able to assemble because of artherites in my fingers.
Mk30

I have a married couple who are very good friends and both are ploughing judges and am at present trying to fix a reversable plough and need the same answer ie fixed or allowed to swing ( if swing how much)
When I have their opinion I will post the result on here for everyone

I recently got rid of a pair of wheel rims and main m/c casting as unrepareable I still have the rotovator box if you need one in very good condition this had a Villiers 25c 2 stroke engine

Thanks for the info

The m/c itself is scrap the gearbox was in pieces but I bought it for the grasscutter and the grass tyres
The engine is an Aspera now you mention it with a bore about the same as a Villiers 15

I have one and sent an email to the register address and I have never heard anything since
I collected mine in an old Honda Civic size no problem but quite heavy. Putting a Villiers engine on mine eventually,
