Ain't the world a bit mixed up

[jacob marley]

My winter project this winter was to renovate a old Norlet rotavater .
I bought it in October because i had swapped my trusty Honda for a new computor .
Any way the engine was a bit iffy but it ran but not so good any way i was offered a engine swap the 3hp of the norlet for a 5hp of a old Merry Tiller 40yrs of age but it run's well.Got the engine's swapped and tidied up the throtle cable and the clutch cable (pruned 6 inche's of it).
so today i decided i need a new drive belt eventually i found a supplier and went along to the outskirts of Coventry and found the place i went back 40 year's as i went through the door no computor on the counter nor till he went upstair's with the money any came out of there with new belt .
So i now have a Norweigen Tiller with a British built American designed engine and to top it all off a Japanese drive belt....jacob

Its great that things are still around that can be repaired and fettled to work, even if bits are 40 years old. I bet it works like a dream too.

It's a Multi-Cultural Machine
Well done on getting it going Jacob, I do admire people who are mechanically minded. (And have a sneeaky fancy for blokes who smell of engine oil.... )
