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.

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.

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.

Indeed Paul , not long now.

Charlie , my local allotment society are using this , several of us keep machinery in sheds on our plots , touchwood no problems thus far. It’s a brilliant idea , provided of course that you remember where you’ve marked it.
I would reccomend any owner of machinery to use it no matter where you keep it.

Kev , really appreciate all your efforts….top man. Pleased to say the Coleby is up and running , haven’t had time to try it at work , I’m relying on Ethan to do that.

Sorry , but that is most definately a Merry Tiller reversible plough.

Mine arrived today, great read , HUGE thanks to all involved.

Swampy , stick at it I’m sure you will get there eventually. Having never worked on any Monrotillers , I’m not in position to comment on their engineering standards , what I can say is that I’m now working on a Rowtrac (made by the same company) and the standard of design and engineering is truly woeful , with so many design flaws there is little wonder they never sold well.

I can confirm that the key for the Amal twinjet carb on a Seagull will fit the jets in the Simar Carb.
