Only my personal opinion here , Trustys left the competition standing when it came to the actual plough itself , I’m far from convinced that the Trusty was actually the best machine. If competition ploughing is your aim , then yes , a Trusty is the way to go , but it is nice to see some of the lesser known machines at work , even if you don’t score as many points.

Good work Jim, nice to see the pioneering British manufacturer of our hobby getting due recognition.

I can only echo the above words.

If it’s not original , it appears a very neat job. I’ve no idea when Wrights stopped making their hand ploughs ,or when they started, they were certainly made in the late 1920s as the AutoCulto model A used a converted Wright hand plough.

That is the MK11C (ELEVEN).

Coils can’t be “PROPERLY” tested using a multimeter , have it tested on a professional ignition tester , your local small engine centre or mower repair shop should have one.

Just back home from a truly excellent event , a HUGE thanks to Kevin (and all others) for the warm welcome and great hospitality.
All being well see you all there next year.

Andy.

Kev , have you got a postcode for the site please.

Champion 8COM , which are quite hard to source these days , they do come up from time to time on that certain auction site.
Lodge C3 , once again hard to find , but are way and beyond the best plug.
Failing this , the modern equivalent Champion K17 , NGK do a match , but personally I would avoid at all costs.
Hope this helps.

Stuart , several engine variants were fitted , which engine are you talking about.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

To a certain extent, yes I do. Most of my machines have the original ploughs with them , but that’s just how I came across them. I really do wish I had the cultivators and other attachments to fit them instead , as I’m a user of my old gear , I (would) spend far more time cultivating than actually ploughing.
My main gripe with ploughing events is the seemingly endless list of rules , I certainly can’t be doing with too many of those for a hobby that I see as relaxation , but each to their own. How many times have we all seen so called grown men arguing and falling out over a furrow being 5mm out of line.
