The Villiers coils can be a bit fragile. The insulation breaks down and they short to ground causing weak and intermittent spark. Could also be worth checking the condensor?

You could give it a good warm up with hot air gun or something similar, might be bit of damp somewhere. I hope it is that simple.

Guess that you have already been to the Ingersoll Case Facebook page, but if not it’s worth a kook

Or the Wikipedia page which gives some history of the relationship between Ingersoll and Case.

That deck hitching system is very similar to the one used on the Cub Cadets of the 70s and 80s

There has got to be someone here who can help you. hang in there.. make a winter project for you and its not the norm so looking forward to the remake.

Definitely a 977B. What I can’t be certain of is whether this is the original magneto. Hopefully, as Geoff has a manual for the Norton Big 4 industrial version, this will show the correct mag and illustrate how the timing is carried out. I am trying to avoid taking the mag apart as it has only just been rebuilt and is working perfectly, but if no one has any info on the 977B and how (or even if) the timing can be adjusted, this might be my only course of action.

Are you going to use this in summer darren ? If so you will stop traffic in your street

Fitted the rear roller, tubes and engine to the side plates. Its surprising how many parts there are to these mowers.

interesting gizmo Geoff.lots of development I am sure. don’t want to pull it to bits,but with the addition of a quick mountable ring for each wheel with say 3 inch spikes protruding it would not get wheel spin on tyres going up hill in moist or high volumes of cut brash areas. very nice all the same.

…….and pick up litter at the same time! However with that crab-steer function it can easily work its way across the bank rather than the more spectacular straight up and down.
