G'day again Gents,
Sorry it's taken me a few days to get back to you. I had to remove the muffle to be able to read the engine details, as this machine the exhaust goes right across the front of the motor.
Looks like your guess of the date was a good one Joe. The numbers on the engine are as follows.
Model 252707
Type 0175-01
Code 81050611
If it is as you say an old 11/36E, any idea where I may get a repair manual and parts list for it?
I've downloaded the operator's manual & parts list for the engine, but would not have the faintest idea as to where to start looking for these for the machine itself.
Cheers
Maurie
