OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Collectors Corner Identification of Particular Machines edger help with maker

hi every one here are some pics of a old edger I have, I don't know who made it as the only sticker that I can see is worn off, it has a Kirby engine, fired it up today and did my edges, starts very easy, thanks for any help identifying the maker cheers damo

VERY interesting peice you have there, I would almost say it is an alroh edger but it has rollers rather than wheels and a much better height adjustment.

thanks joe yes I would like to know who made it, the handle moves back and fourth so you can push it from muffler side or carb side if you know what I mean, I like mucking around with old things its a lot of fun. would rather spend a day tinkering in the shed than buying new junk at bunnings ect, every thing today is throw away and people cant fix things them selves like they use to cheers damo

This has the Tecumseh engine also,some slight differences (maybee a different year of manufacture,or bodged up by the previous owner) the rollers have been replaced by all sorts of different wheels. Sticker placement appears the same,ultimately this appears to be you little beastie,just in rougher modified form,or it was a generic edger sold under different brand names

hi bluegmhtmonaro thank your for your help yes it looks the same as mine , but you makers sticker is still intact being ings edger, will search the net to see if I can find any info, they are well built edgers cheers damo

Hi Damo, and a warm welcome back to the forum. Its great to have you aboard.
Congrats on a great score..The Ings is a little ripper!
Here is some pics I found from a Western Australian source...It is an Ings with the Tecumseh, and 6 wheels.

thank you deejay for the pictures of the edger, I think they may have been made in W.A ???, yes it is a good old machine, at just above idle speed it just bores along and i had my edges done in no time, I really like this site, lots of info and help full, thanks every one.

Small pic but here is another one with rollers.

that's great I thought some one may have modified mine by adding rollers but as theirs another the same it must be a option wheels or rollers, cheers joe damo
