BMB Cultmate

[bish]

I have just started the restoration of this BMB Cultmate with BSA engine. It runs beautifully usually on the first pull. So I’m hoping it’ll just be a case of a good clean and some paint. I’m hoping to have this finished for Tractorworld in February.

You might like to use the attached view from the original BMB Cultmate brochure to display with your machine and also help identify some of the Cultmate implements which sometimes turn up in the Tractorworld auction
Hope this assists

Thank you Joe that is a brilliant piece of literature to go with my machine. I apologise if I’m mistaken but I purchased a Weeks dusting machine from a franktonpaget would you by any chance be the same gentleman?

Love to see it at malvern as i am doing one up myself and i have no side panels. need a few measurments. I am tempted to make some roll up canvas side panels as everyone removes them to work as they run a bit hot???

You’re more than welcome to measure the side panels at Malvern. I’ve started clearing the rust off the panels and zinc primering them after clean up.

Started to get the red on the chassis and all the framework for the handles. The nose cone had remnants of red paint inside so I’m going for red inside and silver outside.

I’d mentioned in another thread about the carburettor missing the tickler. Thanks to villiers parts for sending me the missing part here’s photos of the part fitted.
