I am seeking a couple of these H. G. Palmer wheel caps for the small 6" inch wheels. I get the feeling these "flat style" caps were not exclusive to H. G. Palmer, but probably appeared on some Victa mowers and possibly other brands using Walter Barr wheels.

I have a larger pair of these flat caps to fit the 7" wheels in reasonable condition and am willing to trade these for a pair of the smaller 6" caps.

Hi all,just thought I would add a few pics for reference because I have not seen a
lot of original branded ones.

I guess original caps with the manufacturers name on them are difficult to find these days,the
following images show what they were like when new with the name not completely gone .

Thank you for the additional clear pics. These are greatly appreciated.

P.S. Looks like Villager used the same caps.

Hello Max and vint-mow
Many thanks to Max for the images.
This has added new information to the record.

I wish we could identify the wheel supplier.
Maybe it was Walter Barr ...

Hello ,Jack and vint-mow,
The Wheels are Walter Barr.

The Villager caps are the same,I'm not a 100 percent sure what model Villager
it's off because I removed the cap from a HG Palmer mower.

I think the Villager cap is off the front wheel of a Villager Pinnock.

The Pinnock image does not appear in the ads I have seen.

Thanks for this info. https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=70723

Cheers Max.

Yep, Walter Barr made the wheels on mine.

I have successfully obtained a pair of these caps. But it seems rather pointless in a way, because I still can't get the mower to go. frown

G'day vint_mow and Max

I think the evidence points to Walter Barr making the wheel assemply -
including the wheel caps.

I have started a Company record here: -
