My 1969 Bolens 1476 Hydrostatic with the 14 hp S-14D Wisconsin has a 48" shaft drive deck that I can mow the cow pasture and not have any issues, three foot grass isn't a problem, I have 27"x 9.50"- 15" Duro Frontier All Terrain tires on the back and original Goodyear 5.30-8 tires on the front. The hydro unit holds 11 quarts of transmission fluid inside a solid cast iron rear end and trans axle and weighs a little over 1,000 ponds without a deck or implements; I have two of these. My 1973 Allis Chalmers 416 Shuttle has 48" belt drive right hand discharge deck and a 16 hp single cylinder cast iron Kohler K341 engine mated to a 4 speed Hydro, Yep, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear is both infinite forward and reverse. Rear tires are 25"x 10"-12" Carlisle All Trails with 25 pounds of weights on each wheel with 4" axle extenders to give it a real wide track or you can remove them and install them on the outside to mount a set of dual wheels, Fronts are smooth ribbed 16x6.50-8 for easy turn and easy on the turf. This machine was only built one year and I have two other A/C 416s true Hydro units as well. These are the two machines I use to mow this year, next year I will charge two more for mowing duties. This keeps them up and running, but not overburdened.

This little thing belonged to my father. Not sure what it is for, but I think it is some kind of rev counter. Only about three inches long. There is a rubber on the end, the point of which I think goes in the centre of shaft/spindle or whatever. That revolves and the dial moves round the graduations.

The fact that the "hand over" treatment worked suggests an air leak somewhere. The gauze ore cleaner shouldn't cause a problem as it was a standard fitment on Industrial Commercial spec engines.

Correct Norm. I have one too. Same make but slightly different to yours. Mine came from John's and is missing the rubber.

Two great looking machines you got there Alain. Well jealous !

It fits Weihrauch & Beeman HW Air Rifles. My unit in the military was tasked to be proficient in almost every hand carried weapon used by modern armies

Thanks for the link Alan. Interesting. Ok January 2020 ! . Forgot about your Drummond . More use for the old set of Pre WW11 Whitworth spanners again then . Was hoping to get over to Biddenden to see the Li'll 'D', no luck. Maybe next year when the Doc has sorted me out.

Got the voltage regulator and solenoid off I’m trying to work out how to test them and hoping they are fine . Any tips on testing ?
