My name is Mick and I'm in the far north of Queensland Australia. A very dry tropical environment most of the year, until our wet season comes round usually December to March.
I've always been interested in mechanical things and enjoy learning how to maintain and fix up the things I use.
Recently I've been moved from Road work to equipment maintenance, mostly small to medium scale mowing equipment, think the kinds of things used on the grass at the sides of roads in small towns and out on the hi way.
I have 4 Older Deutscher self propelled slashers which use a Briggs and Stratton engine marked as an Intek 60.
The trouble I am having is identifying the carburettor. The are heavy machines and get ignored until this time of year when they are about the only ones which can handle the damp tall grass without sinking into the clay soil. However this mean the have sat uncared for since I assume last wet season. 1 is in terrible condition but the others will run if not yet reliably. All could do with a car by kit, or a new carby even non genuine if they are available. But I am having a hard time identifying them. Please have a look and see if they ring any bells for you.
