Hi, I’m in North Yorkshire, but got it from Retford, Nottinghamshire in 1999.
There are no identifying marks I can find, and as you pump the handle, it also operates a wooden paddle up and down to keep the spray mixed.

I have had this sprayer for a few years, but can’t see any makers name on it. The tank holds around 15 gallons, i have made a spray lance for it, and it does work well. There is a wooden padle inside that keeps the mix agitated. Any ideas anyone?

I was speaking to Steve Woollas at Epworth Festival of the Plough last Sept, and he said he had a copy of Wright’s catalogue, but don’t know what year it is from Will-Haggle.

I have just collected what seems to be the holey grail, it came with a handle all restored, the Small plough body for the Wright! Attached are some photos of it next to my Standard body.

I have just rescued/ purchased a Sprolley sprayer as seen in Brian Bell’s book 50 years of Garden machinery (colour image 22) and would like some operation information. Currently missing the tank, and original pneumatic back wheels, but have temporally fitted some spare wheelbarrow wheels.

Is Jimbo still a member, if so, from the old forum tag would it be possible to obtain a copy of the leaflet you copied for Robdog 10 4 & Famers boy 2, or even from either of these members.
Thanks. Adam

Hi everyone, I have a few Wright’s of Holbeach hand tools, and wondered if anyone had any literature about the tools made, and if it would be possible to obtain a copy if so.
Thanks. Adam.

Hi, we have a MG5, 1949 petrol/TVO, with a small petrol tank mounted near the seat, inboard of the silencer, have seen some with the petrol tank mounted on the front of the engine cowel.
