    Thanks for that information 11thhourfabrication.

    What I have is a John Heine model 43J from ww2. My apologies for the photos - not my best and too late in the day to reshoot them.
    I will have to remove the wheels and check the dimensions but the shafts are about 25mm from memory. I works perfectly and all I have done is a strip, clean, repaint and lube.
