I don’t know the paint codes but if I remember correctly the Lawnrider I had was one colour overall with the recessed area on chassis from seat to rear painted a lighter colour green. If you google British Anzani Lawnrider you will see examples with this colour scheme.

I didn’t go last year as I felt attendance was poor the previous year, may be one tractor show too many in a busy calendar. Will have to wait and see what happens next year.

Thanks Alan, I have not heard anything and still have trailer loaded from last weekend ready for Semington. Time to unload then.

That really is a find, hope someone does save it.

The number in the oval is date of manufacture. Not sure what other number is, could it be part number?

Once timing is set it is a case of checking as you tighten. Once flywheel is a bit more than finger tight it should not move with further tightening.

I took one of the bolts out on mine and can confirm they are M12 but have a 22mm head.

Whatever you do don’t use fins on flywheel to lock it. One method some suggest is turn engine until piston is about half way up cylinder, then push thin rope (starter cord) in through spark plug hole to fill space above piston. Then gently turn engine till it locks.
I have used a Boa Constrictor tool to grip outside of flywheel.

Always difficult to estimate values.
We could advertise it our club magazine at no cost, just send e mail to vhgmc@btinternet.com with details, your name, contact phone number and location. An alternative would be an online auction site.

The way to get flywheel nut tight is to hit spanner hard with a hammer. Villiers did make a special spanner with a lump on the end for hitting with a hammer.
