Charlie, great to get your reply. I went to a lot of trouble to attach the photos so you wouldn’t have to stand on your heads to view them! Actually, I have no idea why they go on like that – once you click on them, they seem to enlarge the right way up!

I am looking for the seed size selector mechanism that fits up on the top of the RH handle, and the row marker K221. Does anyone have any of these parts, spare, please? Does anyone have a PJ #3, whom I can compare notes with? Are there any members in Germany who know of Rasspe equipment?

Gird your loins for winter – we seem to be heading into another long hot dry summer!

i am starting a register for all anzani horticultural machines, there is one already for the iron horse run by pat holt and long may it continue. i would like to get lawnriders, easimows and motor hoes. iron horses are also welcome as an addition but not to replace the great list that pat and george had built up over the years. also any other horticultural anzani’s that may exist. so if you would be kind enough to help me get started please could you pm me the machine model,number, engine type and any other information that might be of interest along with your name and county. i will then send you an email of the register once its up and running. many thanks.
p.s if your iron horse is not yet registered with pat holt i can pass your information to pat at your request

I invested in a set of those, saves a lot of swearing. The times I’ve struggled in the past. A small pair of stilsons have got a few nut problem solved, But most times you haven’t got the room. I thought bit pricey at the time but now consider it money well spent.

That’s very similar Busman – mine has a steel tank and different exhaust and air intake. Looks like the same lightweight lump. It makes the same very loud noise and sounds like it’s going to take off when you Rev it. Definitely more fun than the four strokes and other small two strokes I am used to. Will post pic soon.

Turbine or Water Wheel blades?

Can’t help with the older machines, but as I work for an agricultural machinery manufacturer, I do know that Solo equipment is still available in the UK via https://www.solo-sprayers.co.uk/.

Nice display, Alan.

I decided that I would next fit the wheels, simply to make the machine easier to move around, as it now needs at least two people to lift it. Six M8 threaded studs are screwed into the wheel flanges (Simar 0044). The pivot pin for the Red pawl was fitted to the road wheel discs. This locates onto a 6mm peg that prevents the pin from spinning around when you tighten up the M14 fine thread nut on the back (Simar 0045). The Red pawl and Green lock will be fitted at a later date. The wheel discs where slid into place over the bowl shaped extensions on the side of the gearbox (Simar 0046). The castellated casting fits onto the six studs. The four M12 studs which mount the wheels were then screwed into the wheel discs, along with a M10 x 1.0 grease nipple (Simar 0047). Final job for the day was to fit the wheels (Simar 0048).

Hi

It sounds like the machine you have is mid 1980’s Mine is 1988 Westwood like many others used bought in items, Engine, Gear box etc and these were not that frequently changed though later ones had Kawasaki engines even some Ruggerini Diesels and Kohler but within the basics Briggs and Strattons are reasonably simple units The real changess eem to have been with the Westwood bits Chassis fuel tank size and location Battery location general design as you say there was constant change. Ive got mine going it ain’t perfect but it works and still earns it keep 11 horse Gazelle no deck Nuffield red bonnet Fergie grey chassis side discharge Had a PTO pulley fitted but I couldn’t see where the belts would run too so maybe the Gear box wasn’t original Since swapped it out anyway as 5th gear was shot Gearboxes are the weak link it seems I have 3 now !! and removal of the rear wheels from the axle !!1
