Not just to protect it from the weather.
Something that will retain and support the entire original casing.
You could probably cobble one up from angle iron, two horizontal struts across the top, two horizontal struts across the bottom and join them with some vertical side pices.
Get a lug welded on to one of the underside pieces, fix a chain through it fastened to the stand or pole to prevent the dish dropping and getting damaged if the original casing shears.
There is a very good topic on another forum posted by a true master of fabrication asociated with satellite hobby stuff. The master did a reet beefed up enclosure for a 1224 that wrapped around the original casing, the topic should still be on there?
Unless that mabo 1.8m you got is gonna be in a very exposed location for wind, I dont see it shearing the original casing on a 1224. An enclosure would be just for peace of mind.
No point over thinking it, just rustle up summat simple and quick, job done.

The 1.85 mabo is not exposed to the north or east,open to the west and kinda a bit secluded from the east,I say kinda excluded with a shed in front of it facing south.
One of the posters, @dog-man was asking where you got your 1224 from. I told him I have two spares here for "thick green".
From your description of the install location I would think you might be OK with the motor as it is, without beefing up?
The dish weight will not be an issue for the motor, the main stress to the casing would come from dish wind load.
If you know you are going to get strong wind you can always rotate the dish on the motor to be sideways on to the wind to minimise resistance.
That would be about the normal height for a ground mounted 1.8m dish, nothing there to cause concern in my personal opinion.
Another option would be to install a wind break in the exposed direction, provided it does not impact your line of sight?
Something like one or two decent strength fence panels firmly secured to posts concreted into the ground.
Or, buy a caravan, tow it into place to act as a wind break. You could rent it out as a holiday let and earn some thick green
la versione EL è uguale alla classica, si differenzia solo per l'attacco inferiore del pistone che ne modifica l'elevazione
questo attacco che è laterale provoca una grande torsione della scheda madre ed è qui che si generano le rotture, come è successo a me
è preferibile mettere un'asta filettata al centro della scheda madre e lavorare in declinazione che è meglio che in elevazione
inoltre il peso da muovere è inferiore, in questo caso il motore non si muove e si muove solo il disco

even though i love thick green will throw up some pictures of the 1224 motor at the weekend when nephew drops it to me.
the seller told me its practically like new as was used very little
I found the kti new a few years ago from a private individual who had 2
and also on the KTI HH 180 I modified the declination
no elevation

hi guys heres pictures of my 1224 motor,i see theres no long threaded bar for up and down elevation/declination looks like i need to buy a threaded bar and can some one tell me what length and diameter bar i need ?.
i have never seen a 1224 in person before but this motor is practically brand new
or is this 1224 vthe el version ?????.
also i think theres no plates or adapter to attach to a normal sat dish,maybe you guys can educate me more as i said i,ve never seen a 1224 before in person.

Looks like the EL model, you got the extra brackets to fit the elevation actuator.
You need two threaded eye bolts, you are missing the elevation adjustment eyebolt and the declination offset eyebolt.
I think they are M16 and M10 threads but declination one might be M8
They elevation eyebolt has a smaller eye than the thread, you might need to get one made up by a welder unless you can find them online.
They used to come with a plate pre-drilled with bolt holes to mount a dish, you are missing that part so will need to get something made up to suit whatever dish you are gonna put on it
As it is, its not operational but its a quick fix to get it into service.

Michael! I have original Jaeger elevation eye-bolt. It is not so shiny as your new engine, but anyway. If you wish, you can have it. https://ibb.co/vhWVywH

thank you kindly rimants,i will email you
I confirm that it is an EL model
you can see in photo 2 the 2 plates where to attach the piston
but it can become normal by putting the eyebolt on
which I highly recommend, in this case the grip is much stiffer
then if you want the declination see my photos above
advice, replace the screws with stainless steel products, because after a short time the rust shows itself
