Re: Norman T300
Should be fun if you have the missing parts.
It's a Norman T300 Mk2, built between 1945 and 1967.
If you would like an accurate date please advise the serial number of your engine.

Re: Norman T300
Norman T300 Mk2 supplied to Thomas Green & Sons Ltd of Leeds on 19th November 1951. It should have a Wico Series A impulse magneto fitted. Thomas Green built these engines into their Greens "Master" range of lawnmowers in the 24-36 inch cutter size. They were industrial machines used for tennis courts, cricket fields, football pitches and council parks. These mowers are really quite rare now, but many engines used in them still exist. The Greens engine is a good version to have as usually fitted with a useful twin vee pulley.

Hi Steve,
Servimg only hosts images.
You would need to try Ubend, Daily Motion or some such. I've used Streamable in the past. You can post for free but the videos disappear after ninety days I you don't open an account.
No big deal for me - I can barely remember what I did ninety minutes ago!

Re: Norman T300
It’s coming on it’s good fun I was hoping to test fire it in a couple of days but I think it being apart on one side again might stop that, I think I have hopefully found a spring I can modify to workblue cat wrote:Good progress you're making.

Re: Norman T300

That probably explains why there was so much old oil on the caseSteveNurse1969 wrote:And to make matters worse now I have cleaned it looks like a small crack in the rear of the casing better get the epoxy out that should sort It

I can supply a new old-stock valve guide for £8 including postage.
Piston rings you should be able to get from Cox and Turner

I will get a picture tomorrow I am sure some epoxy will seal it, I think the broken valve guide may be a bigger problem, by any chance does anyone know of on I can make fit?blue cat wrote:SteveNurse1969 wrote:And to make matters worse now I have cleaned it looks like a small crack in the rear of the casing better get the epoxy out that should sort It

Re: Norman T300
I would certainly be interested in a couple valve guides, one as a spare in case I get over enthusiastic againblue cat wrote:SteveNurse1969 wrote:Parts list is growing, could do with valve guide and exhaust valve and top piston ring, I shouldn’t have looked and just hoped all was OK but me being me I had to take it apart and check
