You could contact the company that made them, I think they are still trading, but could have been taken over by a French company.

I can let you have a new/old stock exhaust if you are interested, for the cost of postage.

The part numbers with a G suffix are Gem part numbers, not the machine number, you have to trace the number on the chassis frame tube to locate the machine number, I am not sure about tracing JAP engine numbers for this model, for dating purposes.

Hi there.
I think you will find that the pump from a Hirth D23 engine as fitted to the 700 and the 400 use the same basic pump, but probably just as hard to find one of them. -

If you visit the ‘Sussex & Kent weald stationary engine group’ website you will find that they have experienced a delay in receiving membership cards from Bickerstaff , but it apparently is being sorted out.

Thank you Angus saving the day ( and the sleeve) 5 minutes and a pair of tyre levers and the job was done. Thinking ahead, does anyone know which green would have been used in the 50s ? is it mid Brunswick or a special Atco mix ?

Thank you for your input Angus, I will take some better shots as you have recommended when in the barn, but have family down at the moment, I understand what you are saying about the possibility of drawing it off the roller shaft, that method escaped me, yes you are correct the big sprocket is free along with the ratchet that releases the drive…[Read more]

This is the little joker I have been trying to remove . I just cannot believe how much effort, heat and bashing this has put up with and not let go.. Tried left hand thread followed by right hand.

Can anyone tell me if there is a secret to removing the drive sprocket from the roller drive on a 1950s 14″ Atco 2stroke lawnmower. All other chains, sprockets etc removed with ease, but cannot shift the nut which appears to hold the sprocket on the shaft. All nice and clean and oily so no rust. Do I use brute force or is there a magic solution ?

It is really important to make sure that all the jets and airways are totally clear on that carb. Really thorough clean with carb cleaner, then carefully blow out all airways etc. Things can get gummed up after such a long period of non-use.

I have used Stihl grease suitable for angle drive gears, comes in a handy tube for easy application, works for me, and has for many years.

It is good to see the David Brown 2D industrial at the show, that one is literally a ‘one off’ and was owned and rallied by the late Bill Speake from Abergavenny, Bill was also a member of the VHGMC. He is much missed on the Rally circuit.

Good day Captain.
If it is of any use I think I have an old copy of a handbook somewhere.
