Hi Toni
Very sorry I’ve only just seen this. I’ve sent you a scrappy series of links to all I have left of the manual, hopefully this will help.

Any help with Last missing pages? How much there is total pages on Shop manual? I can then make complete PDFfile from complete manual. Now all pages are separate JPG.
I dont have anything after page 82

btw… If one person is so nice to help others, with manual… Not very nice that someone else tries to make business with that.. (I was asked money from manual, what roatovator have send free to that person…)

On my machine 1 coil missing, other I believe is broken… If there should be 2 One top, one at bottom.

Andy I have one of those dry sump machines with the 600cc Sturmey Archer engine a 30″ cut ex Muirfield Golf Course runs like a dream. Same engine basicly as Ransomes MG2.

When my late business partner and I started our business in 1981 we did not have any direct accounts for new machines so we bought some from a certain well known “ broker” of end of line machines. One of our first purchases was several metallic blue MTD tractor mowers . Pre 81 I can remember Barrus exhibiting at Motspur Park, probably the first “ direct collect” machine made specifically for the UK market, the MTD 826. The one at the show was metallic blue but the production machines were the more familiar red and silver.

I’m reliably informed that it is the same key as a Jawa CZ motorcycle and that they are freely available.

I wasn’t going for an exact replica, the dimensions of the Howard were right, it had the low revs I’m after, but an engine like a Bradbury would be ideal, if I could find one

I did…

Hi Charlie thanks for the reply,
It seems only to have one forward gear with no lever to change gear, also its been in the family as long as I can remember, my families name is Brazier from Pattingham Staffordshire if that helps thanks for any information you find

Well I’ve cleaned it and tried to use it! I’ve got some lettuce, beetroot and turnips sowed quite a bit thicker than I’d have done by hand? Not sure if my expectations were a bit off? Also the seed doesn’t seem to drop uniformly and gets stuck in the hopper? I separated the hopper and smoothed the route with wire wool but the whole thing needs a thorough de rusting and maybe a coat of paint. Also I oiled the handles today which brought out the colour of the wood very nicely

One question why are you using at best a 1940’s engine for a 1907 Motorcycle? Surely you should be using a Bradbury engine,
I happen to know where there are 2 such engines,which may become available,ideal for your project.
This part is where I get my hands slapped Charlie! He’s a fully paid up member of the club!

Chester is very much live and very well,the last time I saw him,he was in deep conversation with Mr Wallingfield doing some deal over our kitchen table!While drinking coffee and munching fruitcake!
Kind regards

I think that the engine is a Kirby Lauson (Australian made Tecumseh).

[vhgmcbuddy]

Well, I think for the time being I’ll have to get the engine running and see just how badly the oil escaped from the gearbox before deciding exactly what the course of action is to be!
