I just been having a proper look over it, this morning. I may get the engine done quite soon so I can then leave
it running with a load of bricks and off cuts of metal in the drum to get off most of the build up of concrete from inside. Found in the past this is much easier than chiselling it off by hand.
Hi, I don't know the code but I'm sure in the past I've used a Kubota Blue as a close match, just watch out as there's a few different shades of Kubota blue.
Some great photos Norman, did you get the serial number of the Gem ? as its one of the short gearbox models, the number will be under G501 but from the rear shaft And rotor selector it's after my G206
I had an earlier version of the Cavalier, G reg SRi 130 saloon, used to go like the clappers !
Back in 99 and 2000 I had a g reg and a h reg hatch cavalier, but due to my age and insurance they were only 1.6's still went well and averaged 42 mpg. At present I've got a m reg 2 ltr cavalier, a one owner from new and only 46 k with full main dealer service history. Just like a new car but without the stupid electronics that go wrong, no expensive dual mass flywheels and more importantly no depreciation, I gave £600 for it and already have had a few people offering me over a grand.
when I photod the cadet and tarpen I thought of you lol. There was another cadet there but checking through my camera I don't seem to of snapped it.
Looking good.....I am looking forward to seeing this one finished and running ..the Sachs engine has quiet a reputation for starting difficulties but if anyone can get one running well you can. Super job on the dowdeswell ..its been a while since i logged in so enjoying the excellent photos of your machines.
Thanks for the compliments pat,I've been doing a bit more painting on this machine this afternoon but didn't take my camera with me so photos will have to wait till next week. The engine itself is in very good condition and now the injector has been overhauled it should be kinder on my hip to start.

I've just looked it up. I bet the serial number of this machine is G4497?There are photos on my website of it.
i was offered it a few months back but the seller wanted a lot more than Harry paid for it.
