    Send it in and ask for offers, lawn care items are quite sought-after, it seems pretty rare. I am the editor.

    Fewer filling stations in remote areas so I guess they are exempt to ensure supply of E5 is assured.

    Thanks Charlie – really helpful information.

    I wonder why there is an exemption for parts of Scotland?

    Not sure about two speed pulley. Standard P.T.O end one. Hopefully my attempts for a weld repair will be okay. Have not found a uk supplier of pulleys yet.

    Your lawn roller has very ornate castings and is probably late 19th or early 20th century. There are quite a few collectors of lawn rollers and also they display well with lawnmowers of similar age. The only problem is the weight!
    Are you sure there is no name on the castings or the handle or perhaps evidence of a missing label.

    Good evening.
    Small update on my little project. I finally managed to prepare all the tin wear and paint it over last weekend (temperatures >15 deg.C). I replaced a few more gaskets (oil plug, fuel tap etc.), checked any for any leak and finally got it to run for 5 minutes. It runs well. Still need to finalise and install the pulley and the 2…[Read more]

    At a guess the old wooden handle rotted out and a enterprising
    gardener hammered a metal spike in so he could carry on rolling
    the lawn.

    Hi all, just joined.
    I own a Howard Demon Rotavator which I purchased around 7years ago. The machine came with its original paperwork, furrower and side shields. The rotavator was fitted with a BSA 120cc power unit but with further investigation found the engine was needing a full rebuild and a coil rewind. I managed to find a Clinton 494 which…[Read more]
