Hi could I also have the email as I’m trying to contact Derek but as mentioned the number isn’t working. Thanks Rich

I’ll be there again this year with the Cultmate.

Just sat down to have a read of the Cultivator and shocked to see a photo of me dismantling my newly purchased Anzani iron horse. Myself and my wife didn’t clock anyone taking photos so full credit for catching me on film! Great read as always!!

Thanks for your reply Charlie would you know what sort of height the float should be?

Right solved the one problem and caused another. There was a split in the pipe so swapped that for a new pipe which fixed that leak however I now have fuel flooding out of the top of the carburettor float chamber. It’s pouring out of the tickler hole and there’s two small holes on the side of the chamber cap which look like they are supposed to be…[Read more]

This is a picture of a spare carb I bought it’s where the pipe bolts underneath is where it’s leaking from.

It’s an Amal 124 I’ve changed the fibre washers between the bolts holding the bowl onto the carb body but it’s leaking from where the pipe bolts underneath the float bowl.

I’ll be there again i managed to wrestle the Cultmate to the top of the garden steps. (I’m not joking when I say wrestle she fought me all the way)

Perhaps it’s been imported from elsewhere weren’t Simars available readily in other countries? It’s an amazing find either way will she be joining your other Simars Charlie?

Thanks for the advice I’ve got hold of some Castrol.

Congrats to Charlie you got them right and it is a Landmaster 100. Roatavator these are the ones out of the cultivator since getting the 35 I’ve been on the lookout for some of the other types they did and this job lot has provided another 3 models. They all turn over with great compression except for the one 56 as that had the head removed and…[Read more]

Thanks Charlie it’s the home straight now. I’ve painted the engine parts black and re assembled the engine and then fitted it to the chassis. I reassembled the fuel tank, this consisted of the new fuel tap and my freshly polished fuel cap. I don’t know why but polishing the fuel cap was an extremely satisfying task. The fuel tank assembly was then…[Read more]

Just relist the items Andy I’ve had people before bid on items and never collect them so I’ve always ended up resisting items.

Here’s another view of the chassis completed but in daylight. Today I’ve managed to get some zinc primer on the nuts and bolts and touch up where I’ve scratched the paint from reassembling her. I’ve finished re fitting all the chassis parts which were the 2 z shape brackets for the front grille, belt guide, toolbox and disc coulter for the plough.…[Read more]
