Yea Charlie, it is the A1483HZ but my problem starts with him taking the rotor arm out without making a note of where it should syncronise to. There is no mark on the rotor although there is a witness arrow on the small drive shaft, opposite the keyway. The rotor has been damaged in the past but it did work until he decided to leave it out in the rain, this is when he took it apart to dry it out, no problem “I’ll give it to Phil, he’ll fix it”?
Attached are photos of what I have. I presume then I can stick my finger in the plug hole, feel for the piston and time the points just before TDC.
Or at least that’s what I was thinking, not worked with this type of mag before.

Cheeers!
Phil

Excellent! Thank you for your replies, I’ll try and give Hayter a call over the next week.

As for the RAL colours I have RAL fan with 192 colours and think they are closet to the following.

The hammerite green style paint is closet to RAL1020 Olive Yellow.

I think the older mowers are made up of RAL 6036 Pearl Opal Green for the engine and RAL 6000 Patina Green for the deck.

If anyone else has any thoughts I’d be keen to hear.

Thanks again.

Hi Allen
The Country Gentleman Association ran from 1893 to 1975,after that period it changed its name, and was still running in the 1980’s,in the latter years it moved from Letchworth to Eaton Square London, I think no 19 from memory, they shared a building with the Institute of Psychiatry, at the time I was visiting every day (As a courier, nothing else)
They produced many books over the years, the one to shy away from is their calendar book as it does not have any decent references.
I have a complete run of original copies, but a little warning the late 1920’s copies to the 1930’s can make eye watering sums
Hope this helps
Mr Wallingfield

Perhaps the Pope was born in Sheffield but I do know a certain man called Bessemer was, and we use his products every day
Kind regards

Lucky Chap! I have a merry tiller, and quite a few a Attachments, but I have never seen a water pump or compressor for one, I must start looking!I have an early model like your machine in the photo, also a “Spartan” which I use a lot, but I am wondering if it,s possible to switch the gear box off my “GT” merry tiller, and implant it on the “Spartan”, NOT for the purist,s I know, but it would make a much more sturdy Machine and the gearing would be very useful.
