    Thanks for sharing those pics John , yours is different to mine. On your casting it states “Junior” , mine just “Coleby cultivators” , my wheels are also different along with the axle.

    Firstly welcome , stick around , the wealth of allround knowledge on here is astounding.
    I wouldn’t go as far to say that there are “quite a few” Colebys remaining , they are relatively scarce , with possibly only a handful that are in running order.
    Information on them is quite patchy and scarce , from what I have gleaned , Mr Coleby , either had relations or close friends who farmed on Jersey , and a fair number of them were used there ,hence the Jersey model fitted with the 420cc BSA engine one garage on the island specialised in their repair.

    Panic over , it was on a keyed taper , VERY luckily a very light blow with the toffee hammer and it flew off.
    Clutch all working A1.
    Again many thanks

    Great work Geoff , I , personally like the “Survivors” bit , it is afterall what they are.

    Many thanks for some interesting reading.The old saying “you learn something everyday” certainly applies to me here , I never knew early Trustys had a Blackburne engine , do you know of many “survivors”.

    Kev , Coleby has come to a standstill at the moment , what with work , and busy on allotments time seems to do a vanishing act.
    I’m confident it will be up and running in time.

    Look like a 16H model , they were fitted to Landmaster (150 model I think) rotavators , can’t recall seeing them fitted to anything else. I’m sure some of the lads on here will know of more.
