Not one I know, Robert, I think it’s rare and I would be reluctant to paint it. I’m guessing American but I could be wrong!

Shrink Pic doesn’t work any more!

Some pictures from Ardingly….

Nice to meet you, Plonker!

Black and white one has the Briggs engine, colour one has a Jap 5…

I wonder if it’s something in the valve guide like it was undersize from the factory or it has a burr.

Looks like that one has a Briggs and Stratton ZZ engine.

This one was shown at Lanlivery in Cornwall in 2013, also with no belt!

Here’s a photo from a book I have, with the Farmers Boy and it’s accessories, looks like you just twist the belt….

It looks like a Shay Rotogardener, made by the people who invented the rotary mower called the Rotoscythe. Picture shows Phil Murrell’s collection of Rotogardeners displayed at Ardingly in 2015 with the similar model in the middle. Alternative suggestion would be a Versatiller by Farmfitters.

I’m disappointed but the Wiltshire Steam Rally at Oare, Nr. Marlborough is still on at the moment. They have been known to cancel, though, to protect the ground. That one is bicycling distance from here!
