How about a Far Eastern electric start diesel, or indeed a petrol engine, several makers produce electric start engines now. I know you can fit a Hatz engine I think (E709) not sure, but you still have to crank them.
Good luck

Jean.
I thought the paper copy was excellent value and very informative, will the next volume be online only ?
Best wishes to you both.
Chris Fuller.
PS Hope you sell the Irus, I remember seeing it perform at GDSF ( Graham did not look confident!) -

I think they are the correct colour for BMB as Charlie suggests.

It looks like the Flymo colour used in that period, so I think that could well be the answer.

Hello Malcolm77.
I suggest you find a company that dismantles and supplies secondhand glasshouses, there must be one sitting in a yard somewhere.
Good luck

Hello Rob.
With ref to the last message – I mixed up the tyre manufacturers, it should be vredestein not Trelleborg who make the correct tyres.

hortiman replied to the topic Howard Gem Tyre size in the forum Pedestrian operated machines 8 years, 9 months ago
Hi there Rob.
The original tyres were Dunlop Grassland 4.00 x 12. but these are no longer available. some of the tyres with deep treads will foul on the machine, you can get some with shallow treads, I have used Trelleborg ones successfully, there may be others.

Well done Alan, I think the machine was made in the very early 50s, according to the previous owner his father had bought the machine new, and only used it in his garden, he lived in Southport.

I would suggest that a 2A would not have enough power to run the Emery as a rotary cultivator, It would be ok for lighter work as fitted to the Troy Tractivator etc, which only fitted draught implements. I did quite a bit of research when I owned the Emery, but again without success. I only found a brief mention in Denys De Saulles book.

Hi there partsmisty
As I thought there is a new unfitted pump in a box in my shed, I bought it a few years ago but have not used it, I think I will be happy to sell it now.
Please PM me.

Hi there
Kevin ( merlin keeper) Snewin, may have information regarding the manufacturer of the sprayer unit, I doubt it was made by Mayfield.
If not our west country rep Ray Smith, holds a lot of information on Mayfield products. - Load More
