Well just as I thought not many ploughmen in the vhgmc all your comments are welcome these are my thoughts after another season ends, I feel something needs to be done as I observed the matches posted on social media and in the press in particular Sundays match at Sherwood forest a national qualifier always a good entry of people trying to qualify I know the weather was awful and may have kept some people away but 8 participants 5 compact tractors and three trusties and looking at other matches the trend is similar just needs some guidelines to keep the size of tractor down.
thank goodness Newman, Kendal, David Brown 2D, Byron, President, OTA, Singer Monarch and Kent Pony. are very large tractors but rarely seen ploughing in fact most are totally unsuitable for single furrow ploughing as the wheel base is to wide. so to conclude I know the SOP set the rules and that’s where this will have to be addressed,
we move on thank you everyone for your thoughts

Hi you could try gary colt on the forum, garry chambers he is a very good source of information. i have overhauled one of these but i did not need any gears here a few picture that may help the needle bearing on the rh side near the trumpet is usually the cause of the trouble plus the fact youcan get two gears at once so twisted shafts are common also
