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.

Hi Richard
As promised the codes for the paint used on the Landmasters…… Unfortunately the colour name is not on the invoice, just the paint type and codes. The Blue is 19-0590, and the white is 02-0240. Most car paint suppliers using maxmeyer selemix should be able to sort the correct stuff.
Regards
Darren

Hi Richard
Sorry, but not been on here for a while and just seen your request for paint help. I will find the paperwork for the colours and post it here tomorrow. I believe Titch is still a club member? If not google ‘Machinery Decals’ you will find him there. Sorry I cant help now, am currently at work…..
Regards
Darren

When I was working for the Agricultural Eng,s “F.H Burgess” in the mid 1990,s there was some old (1960,s / 1970,s) sales brochures for Solo equipment.I always remember there was a brochure for a twin cylinder chainsaw :):).Wish I had them brochures now !!

Does it look something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGZFnk-ZR70

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/.

I am glad I asked.
No way am I going to lift that by hand.
I will rig up shear legs and a hoist.
Lift it up onto a Platform and slide it into the back of my Jimny.
It needs to go for cleaning before I start investigating further.
I have a pall with a steam engine cleaning machine. It is like magic.

Thanks for all the help.

Engine weight is about 200kg , a one man lift is feasible but the flywheel end is very heavy, best plan is to set up a bench or block next to the tractor and slide the engine from its base on to the block without lifting, failing that use a hoist it is not worth hurting your back which is a high risk given the position you start from.
