Only a few days to go before delivery and once installed will be able to spray the 14 inch grass box and the 28 inch box in the shed at home,without anything spoiling in the shed due to overspray. Then that’s two more mowers finished.

I like the look of that what are your plans for it? full restoration or just mechanical refurb?

I find the easy way is to set your camera to the lowest or email photo settings. and upload strait from the SD card. I have and old and a newer camera and they both work this way. I had to resize photos on the old sit with Office picture manager but I think the new site will upload a larger photo.

Made up alliterative exhaust for G28 engine, This is a versatile little engine because the pulley is centrifugal. Can be used for other applications, remembering health and safety of course.

Thanks for that. Can’t read the writing around the edge of it. Maybe you might get a close up of it sometime ? I look forward to seeing your sheen gun. I have never seen the trolley for one apart from on the Internet .

Just watched it Alan, very interesting, that’s some collection. Thanks.

Unfortunately Geoff, the mag on my Norton is quite different to what you describe. The pictures hopefully show what mine is like.
Basically, the sprocket has two notches in the back which locate over the lugs on the impulse coupling. There is then a metal disk with an off centre locating pin on it (you can just see the back of the pin below the screw head in the photo of the sprocket) which fits in the centre of the sprocket. The pin on this disk fits into a hole in the end of the magneto shaft so that it cannot spin. A left hand thread screw then attaches the lot to the magneto shaft.
All of the above means that the sprocket will only fit one way on the magneto shaft. So, as far as I can work out, I need to rotate the whole impulse mechansim without rotating the magneto shaft, but I am not sure that this is even possible.

Very Interesting, I did not know the Mountfield also had two belts, when we have some grass, I will try this Mayfield out.

Yes i agree totally paul. Maybe the quadtractor could be hired in on show day ?

It might make a good trailer but I think even the Jag would struggle to pull that lot !!

steve. don’t give me ideas because I might take it on board.if the space was managed correctly I could possibly get all 22 machines in.

Compare it to this one that I picked up earlier but had not ID’d, which does need a bit of attention – although it does have the spray lance……

Sorry, not been looking at the Forum for while so missed this one.

I’m afraid I do not have any Cooper Peglar Sprayers/Syringes to the best of my knowledge. Although I have quiet a few items with no ID – so I may have some without realising it.

The trouble is that any labelling which is not embossed into the casing itself is likely to wear off through use. Those that still have them have probably had very light use.

I now tend to avoid any syringes that have no ID unless there is something unusual about them. Sprayer literature is a little thin on a ground as well, except copied from fellow collectors, which makes identification difficult.

Could have sworn I posted these photos of the finished box – but perhaps not. Anyway, here they are….
