Bought this the other day, thought it would look good displayed next to my Rowcrop. Its a 1950 Triang Major.

Just been to a site meeting before the show and we have 30+ exhibits booked in the Horticultural section which I’m very pleased with, I’m holding the entries open for a few more days if anyone wants to join us but contact me asap for forms and entry tickets. Thanks everyone for your support.

Can’t you make one chris it’s just a bit of bent bar

Had a bit of a mishap when mowing alongside the pond, outside our abode last week. There's a big willow tree that I pass under and I push the hanging strands to one side as I do so. These are practically touching the ground and this time I didn't quite get things right. Some strands tangled round the stack and snapped off the silencer/muffler. Just above the clamp. Went to a local tractor, quad, garden machinery outfit to see what they had. Only thing kind of suitable was a silencer/muffler for B&S 10 - 12hp engines. Had to order it and I picked it up today. It was made to screw into the head, but as can be imagined, the stub in the Kohler head was not going to budge. A little bit of measuring told me the existing pipe O.D. just above the bend, was slightly bigger than the new silencers. So I cut the pipe just below the join and off to the farm workshop to borrow the ocy/acet and heat the end of the bent pipe up. Getting it red hot allowed me to screw the threaded end of the new silencer into it. Worked a treat and no welding was needed, as the fit was good and tight. Fitted to the engine and we're back in business. OH! The willow has had a bit of a trim as well.

It's not ideal, but a least I can mow and I don't mow in the rain. Could well be modified some time in the future.

You’ll need a big rain flap to fit that.

Chris, YES!! thank you, but I don't like hassling you for information all the time..so great, thank you mate. Best ring them had I?? Titch

Look on their website.

Dose it look like this Titch.

Thanks Nigel. I’ve found someone who’s got one and going to give me some measurements so i can make one.

Now that's a good find. Fit a steering wheel and I know some ones great grandson who would like that.

Hope it's stronger than the one you borrowed and broke 2 years ago Andrew.

No, a US seller was selling the crankshaft bearings on ebay and he had listed the bearing number, with that and Richards help I ordered some off ebay. It was just easier for me, i've heard many good things about Meetens though.
