First up a big hello to everyone on here and little introduction as I’ve not long got my first piece of vintage gear, mostly as I have been kindly allowed to use the corner of a field for growing veg and that I do have a soft spot for old engines..
So I’ve picked up a 1948 series 2 Howard Gem with a JAP 600, although very tired looking is mostly complete and now runs after a little fettling.
A few pics and vid of it’s first run in many years 🙂
The plan for now is give it a good service get some new fluids in it, fix a few of more important bits then in future after I’ve used it to turn the land over it can get stripped and media blasted with a fresh coat of paint to tidy it up.
The faults I’ve found so far..
Reverse gear does not work and missing linkage,
Needs new mag covers,
Missing x1 LHS outer tine,
Exhaust valve lifter stripped in timing case (now fixed but..),
Exhaust down pipe snapped.I did manage to pick up some spares as well including most of an engine and lot of gearbox parts, so barring the reverse gear most should be easy to make or replace.
