Found this box and extra bottles whilst looking for something else (as you do) Now with the display

Not far off, $131 Little prop came with the goodies from Wallfish, need to have a good look to see if it fits an engine

Front cover from the Operating Manual available on here (thanks David !) copied and enlarged, now on display with the units...

A large box of goodies arrived today from Wallfish in the USA, one and a half Tiny Tiger generators. With the "spare" engine I had with the correct fittings and having a look in the O&R spares stock, I managed to attach generator to engine. I was going to make up a base but as I don't have the correct tank I might leave it on the base its on for now... The second unit needs an exhaust, anyone got a spare one please ? Both units now on display with their buddies, lol

A scrap book of cuttings and adverts was acquired from the son of a former Tarpen employee many years ago In it is this article from Farm Implement and Machinery News 1967 In the text it mentions the machines were developed by Edward Bals and quotes "The new sprayers, to be marketed in Great Britain by the Tarpen Engineering co Ltd, 7 Coronation Road London" Second paragraph of text, second photo

Yes mate we will have a catch up in due course, stay safe !

Oh yeah the giant Champion plug arrived Friday, thought that would look good in the Wheelhorse shed !

The UK firm of Tarpen were distributors of the Turbair sprayer with O&R power during the 1960's. The firm also produced a Mini engine setup with O&R power that could be used on some of their tools. I have two in my collection at the moment, one on a Tarpen 33 hedge trimmer, the other on a cultivator...

OK, I will start a new post as we are getting off topic here.

indeed it is a Tarpen mini engine and you are correct David it has a long hedge trimmer attached I had to go all the way to Birmingham to pick that one up, worth the journey though

Another UK collector surfaces ! Welcome !
