Hi,

I have the blue Husqvarna Lawn mower from 1970 you are searching for, I think I just found one when I was looking in a house I just bought. It was in the back of many other things. You can buy it if you still are looking for one.

I have recently bought this dilapidated seeder which is in need of urgent restoration.
Does anyone have photographs of a complete unit and/or drawings which could assist in re-making the seeder?

Despite Aspera bing Italian the original design was by Tecumseh from the USA. If you post the engine model number, it should be possible to give you an accurate part description but for now I’m guessing 1/4” UNC x 3/4” long

Unless I wanted it for some vital part missing from a better example , I’d pass!

I have seen on an auction site some 3″ ally aftermarket ones that are bored correctly , but the major should be pressed or turned steel. on top of that there would be the calculation for the new correct belt length.

The joys of working on old kit. You need a pulley , material is probably irrelevant but the belt will need to be a bit slacker than you may imagine. If it is not there the keeper or keepers is/are essential to get the belt to release its grip on the front pulley when the clutch jockey pulley is released.
Get the nearest pulley that you can and work from there.

thanks wristpin i got that but when i search on b/s site its got the spring but not the rod and the spring dont look right in the picture if i have correct numbers maybe i can look on ebay

I don’t quite follow what you are saying. Is it that you can’t find the parts on the IPL or that having found them you can’t find them in the BS parts list. If the latter they are possibly obsolete. The problem with eBay for Briggs stuff is that the majority of obsolete parts hits are from the USA with heavy postage charges and all the hassle of Duty, Clearance and VAT. If you’ve identified the part numbers, try Jon Cruse at the Hailsham Mower Centre; he’s recently got me out of trouble with an obsolete BS Governor spring for a Hayterette.

Edit. I’ve had a look at the IPL and think that I can see the parts that I would describe as a Governor spring and rod. Possibly not on the page that you might expect.

This is achieved by pulling out choke by app 3/8 ins and then tightening carb

Good that it’s up and running . You don’t mention the engine make or model but if it’s Briggs the recommendation is usually that the choke valve / butterfly is moved over centre.

Sorted. I had forgot to tighten the carb to cylinder head bolts so running lean.

Sorry, wrong type number.
Correct one to follow when I’ve scanned it.
This should be the one

Looks like an oldish Atco heavy duty 24” which originally had a Villiers 150cc lightweight engine but has acquired a Honda engine of some sort.

Could anybody tell me what year and model this is I’m thinking of buying
