Rollo Croftmaster Steering UJ

[roatavator]

I’ve had the Rollo out a few times making various scratches in the ground which eventually after much more practice might become ploughing.
Having discovered the steering was vague, investigation revealed a very broken universal joint.
The photos show type and size (not mine, mine’s in pieces!) I can’t easily find anything like this online. Anyone know where I might find one? I can’t imagine Rollo would have used anything other than a standard easy to find UJ at the time of manufacture!
Thanks
Peter

It looks very much like the type of universal joint that would be used with a 1/2″ socket. I found something similar on the RS website

looks like the type used on the early Verdistat? seed drills, even if worn and had let go, welded new ears on, new pins and away, the uj’s on the cars steering column are more durable if theres room to fit them.
