  Hi, Thanks for the offer but the Gravely D is a restoration project since Aug 19. It come with two tool frames which i merged to make a complete one, that’s why I’m looking for shanks to complete it.

They are still servicable and will still do a good job with some long handles fitted
I still use these types as they do a perfect job around growing crops. They will never wear out

The M/c it came off was a Clifford Mk2 according to (50 yrs gardening machinery)
This is a photo of the engine
mickattwo replied to the topic villiers 2 stroke engine (Auto culta Mk 1 in the forum Pedestrian operated machines 5 years, 10 months ago

I have my doubts now that it’s not an Auto Culta looking at “Fifty years if garden machinery” as the main lump of the m/c was red. I have the roto box and will take pics of both the rotobox and the engine and post ASAP
mickattwo replied to the topic villiers 2 stroke engine (Auto culta Mk 1 in the forum Pedestrian operated machines 5 years, 10 months ago

I think its a 25C, it was on a Auto-Culto 1 m/c which was scrapped, Looks as not had much use

Anyone know the correct carb for this model
mickattwo replied to the topic Iron Horse throttle control in the forum Pedestrian operated machines 6 years, 8 months ago

I would think transmission is a centrofugal clutch so the speed is dependant on throttle control
mickattwo replied to the topic Barford Atom in the forum Help and information 6 years, 9 months ago

I have one stripped at the moment and had it blasted and painted Post Office Red and it looks good
I would be open to offers as I will not be able to assemble because of artherites in my fingers.

The m/c itself is scrap the gearbox was in pieces but I bought it for the grasscutter and the grass tyres
The engine is an Aspera now you mention it with a bore about the same as a Villiers 15
