Hi all and a quick question

Hi,

I seem to be subconciously acquiring lister/petter engines at the moment. Dumpers, generaters, water pumps etc.

I have just picked up a york casting and welding company bar-O-mix mixer. It has a petter aa1 fitted with a string pull start, is this normal? It looks like it has a flange of boltholes around it in a 12" diameter.

The stranger thing to me is that on a quick glance the other day it had a starting handle shaft that I hadnt seen before, after a better look at it yesterday it looks to be a tractor pto shaft? Again is this normal?

Havent tried starting it yet......

Thanks and take care
