AJAK made three primary models of HH motor, although some versions may have been marketed under different names.
AJAK PATRIOT typically used on mesh antennas 5-6 feet in diameter
AJAK AIMER normally used on 7.5 and 8.5 foot mesh antennas, although
you may find a few pushing their limits with 10-foot antennas.
AJAK H-180 for 10 to 12 foot mesh antennas.
The reason that you are seeing confusing differences in declination settings and attachment points is because AJAK made separate deals with every antenna manufacturer back in those days (1990s), to supply a motor system. Depending upon the circumstances, most companies built their own interface between the motor which allowed them to easily match the attachment points on their antennas. Therefore some might have used shims in 1/4 and 1/2 degree increments (Paraclipse), otherwise may have used a system of holes, while most remaining companies used a threaded rod arrangement for declination. Orbitron built a fixture to connect their SPINCLINATION system, which used a slightly larger pipe with set bolts to secure the typical 3.5 inch OD pipe stub on the back of their mounts. This allowed easy upgrade from Polar Mount to HH Mount. Simply change the mounting assembly on the pipe and slight the dish out of one and into the other after the HH mount was placed on the pipe.
Now ancient history, but provided to give you some background on why there are many ways to connect an AJAK motor to various satellite antennas.

Thanks Mike
Just ordered some bronze bearings (to turn down) to replace the plastic bearing that was originally used

Search for manuals Ajak
Digging up this old Ajak tread searching for the manuals of the Patriot and Aimer so I can identify the one I have .
I modified it to use it with a 120 cm FIBO gregorian KU dish.
Who can help me out ?

There is a page with some information but no longer has pictures.
Shown below with antenna manufacturer supplied mounting ring
I have the big one H180 and have never seen another version like the Patriot.
