Hello Charlie, with regards to Peter Mitchell request on page 4 for information on Brown Jr, I have both a twin wheel and single wheel models,along with Planet Jr’s. Brown Jr were made by George Brown’s Implements Ltd of Victoria Ironworks, Leighton Buzzard, and were basically identical to Planet Jr, but in 1956 Brown’s were supplied with “Latest Improvements one piece pressed steel wheel “.
Hopefully the attachments will work, and will be of assistance to Peter, leaflets supplied by Geo. Brown’s Ltd a number of years ago, and a photo of my twin wheel Brown Jr and some of my Planet Jr’s a few years ago.
Yours sincerely Adam Clarke

Hi, I’m in North Yorkshire, but got it from Retford, Nottinghamshire in 1999.
There are no identifying marks I can find, and as you pump the handle, it also operates a wooden paddle up and down to keep the spray mixed.

Hopefully the photos will be here this time

I was speaking to Steve Woollas at Epworth Festival of the Plough last Sept, and he said he had a copy of Wright’s catalogue, but don’t know what year it is from Will-Haggle.

Is Jimbo still a member, if so, from the old forum tag would it be possible to obtain a copy of the leaflet you copied for Robdog 10 4 & Famers boy 2, or even from either of these members.
Thanks. Adam

Hi, we have a MG5, 1949 petrol/TVO, with a small petrol tank mounted near the seat, inboard of the silencer, have seen some with the petrol tank mounted on the front of the engine cowel. We have not had ours running for a while and it also has the Amal carb like yours, it starts fairly easily, but doesn’t like running slow enough for clean gear selection.
Will download some photos later.
Adam.

Hello Steve, I have a few Wright’s implements, plough, ridger, cultivators (fixed and adjustable), hoes (Duck foot and side) and wondered if anyone had information on all products by them?

My dad made one in 1968, as originals were getting hard to come by, with help from local blacksmith in Wisbech, Cambs, which we still have.

Adam.

Hi, I also have one of these flame guns, I will upload pictures later, the transfer on mine is fairly good, and gives ‘The Haulk Flame Gun Co, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire’ at the bottom, they used to have premises in the Market Place backing onto the River Nene on North Brink.

I purchased mine 12+ years ago from a farm sale at Sutton Bridge, Lincs.

Hope this is some help!

Adam.
