Is this a real old Jalo ?
« on: June 24, 2005, 12:19:59 »
I saw this in an old guys shed as I was clearing him a wasps nest out ...
So I borrowed it to try and take some pics of..
It had 3 tools with it a ridger,Plough and weedknives ...
I have  never seen th old jalo with the wide wheel on front .
But it is too well made for it to be home made so wondered if anyone could put a name to it...
Cheers .. Jim

The standard Jalo arrangement was for either one thin wheel running in the muddle of the frame, or two wheels attached each side of the frame.
I still use my Jalo for a wide range of gardening jobs.
The machine had quite a few attachments incuding rake, scarifier, lawn aeretor as well as the ridger and plough you showed in the photo.   I also have a seed sowing attachment, which apparently was tried, but never fully developed - it being too expensive
The wide 'roller' type wheel I haven't seen before, and it was not in the last catalogue I saw.
The original frame was made from a cast alloy.
