A few pic of the state of my Groomer Estate 400 trimmer. I have assembled the parts I have found. I need the trimmer head, guards, trigger & cable, and air filter to complete it. The pic of the upper tube clamp shows the engine ignition kill switch. -very basic. The lower clamp is shown. Both clamps are of the same cast aluminum design. The boss on each clamp with the holes must have been where the head trigger cable went. Without pictures of an original or a manual, it's conjecture as to what went where and why. That's why I like my old engines and equipment.

It's No problem. I can delete those posts. Do you have a question to ask about it? There's a little "Thumbs up" at the lower right of each post which you can use to react to any post but don't necessarily want to reply.

I'm sorry I don't mean to be unkind. Or anything to hide I just simply didn't understand the format of the Forum I guess

Sadly I don't have a manual for the Estate 400 (only that low-res picture), but can help with pictures of some of the parts, including the trigger & cable, I have a few little trimmer head parts but none of the bigger pieces of the trimmer head. The stop/kill switch on most of the these engines has always been a simple shorting switch, either the brass strip type or a bought in switch, some of the chainsaws have a more complicated switch mechanism in the handle.

I didn't get chance to post this when I typed earlier. Dinner interrupted. Engine runs the wrong way as Matt has said. It'll be like an Italian tank in WW11.

Circa = about or roughly.

That’s really cool, nice job with the puzzle...

Finally finished up the display stand...

We started the day with a simple puncture repair on the Westwood D1200 which we were not planning to video. Due to an interesting discovery we thought we would share what we found.

32 was the greatest number of thorns that I pulled out of a customer’s tyre a few years ago when he complained that the tyre sealant wasn’t working ! I laid them out in a line on a piece of card with a strip of clear tape over them and presented it to him with the bill. ********* Safety issue . Never inflate a tyre on the flat , especially with your face immediately above it. Stand the wheel on edge at “ right angles” in front of you . That way if the tire blows off the rim it goes left or right and not back at you.
