howardman 30 #1 Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Purchased this in 2012 (eBay) and restored last winter/ spring . It was in poor condition and the engine was shot ..so replaced original engine with one of same type ..a jap 5 with heavy flywheel and wipac mag. It was a nightmare to move on metal wheels so later type wheels fitted on those hard to get 600x 22 tyres . It was made in 1946.

howardman 30 #9 Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Very nice work, and great job preserving old iron! What brand of engine is that? Matt The engine is a jap 5 ...made in London by John Arthur Prestwich....with a good exhaust it sounds great...low reving and even/quiet. Will put up video on you tube when i haul it out of shed for next vintage show (running) but in the meantime here is a youtube link to a 2011 gathering of 25 anzani iron horses making a world record attempt at a ploughing event in the Uk. Mick Green who features in the video was invaluble to me in supplying a lot of parts and is the expert on these machines Edited February 1, 2014 by howardman 3 bowtiebutler956, Stormin and Lauber1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teicneocroitear 0 #15 Posted April 23, 2014 Very nice job. Curious about the spud wheels- they appear identical to those on my plowmate. But almost all photos of Plowmates with steel rims show wheels with radial circular section spokes. Have I got a plowmate with British Anzani wheels? Or is this just a generic wheel pattern of the 1930's-40's ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #16 Posted April 24, 2014 A fantastic restoration, a job well done As for looking for a Wheel Horse.... Go for it, they are great machines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
