Hi phil, I have sent you a pm..
Hope its of help..

I need the measurements, from the picture it is obviously a twin cylinder. I keep all the parts to make all the different variations up, they usually work out between £40 to £50 worst case.

Regards Mike

Send me the measurements and a picture, I keep all the standard ones in stock.

Cheap enough at that. Could possibly be cut down to fit our snow ploughs.

The only history i no is that it was just used on a saw bench till
the owner died then his son had it for 10 years and it was stood in
a barn and done nothing

As you say, a bit of a beast! Would think that it is more likely to be either 28″ or 34″ rather than 30. See that you have the “high cut” front castor wheels – seen plenty in parts books and catalogues but never seen a set fitted.
On the subject of that Atco Green paint code, did your supplier state what “paint system” that refers to such as RAL or Leicher?

I only stumbled on the paint by pure chance Owen. I was told that sample pots where for sale after the paints had been developed for old buses,trams and commercial vehicles which also included steam engines. I went down to see what colours they had and they where wall to wall in half lire tins. from then on I will not go anywhere else.

I’m with Charlie. I’ve been in this position quite a few times in the past and used this old trick with some success.
It bypasses the carb so it will tell you if you’re looking in the right place. It may even clear a jet with the draw from the cylinder when it fires.
Good look.

That chaincase looks good John, I must try it some time.

Getting there now, pleased to finish the spraying. Seeing I don’t have the proper facilities the colder weathers against it. The wheels are not to bad, they will get sorted next year.

that was quick,heres what it says engine serial no 140680 Mark C25.17. 01 well done you where right. any quirky bits on the machine ? I noticed the left hand grip was right angled and the other side was like most others.

[vhgmcbuddy]

will go and have a look at the plate and report back.

Ok, latest news…

I have managed to release the pulley. I made a wooden cradle and using a drift tapped out the steel shaft. Easy with a little thought!

I can now see the offending article – BS20 1 5/8″ bush is quite worn. It looks like it should be captive in the case which would hold the input shaft in place (DA1496Q). The fact is that it is so worn that it just slides in and out.

Any suggestions – replace, roe manufacture, is there a repair?
