Thanks

Hello the simple answer is itl cost about £6.50 or what ever a gallon of petrol costs to convert,it will need 2 stroke oil,just cant remember whether those tillers have a separate tank on the end of the petrol tank for the oil it if its mixed in a can jezza

I thought it was 4 stoke. Or is the oil to replace the lead in the petrol?

Hello they made them in both 2 and 4 stroke up to 1954 then they were all 4 strokes,check to see if it has a sump plug if it has its a 4 stroke,when the leaded to unleaded change came in LRP ( Lead replacement petrol)was recommended that wad phased out old machinery didn't seem to notice, I run a 1965 Ransomes mower with a J,A,P Engine it gave a couple of hiccups when the two patrols mixed then ran with no problems apart from a pinking now and again if it's on Liquid Petroleum Gas it never falters jezza
