I ploughed my plot a couple of weeks ago with the Barford Atom 30 a week later ran the Trusty Earthquake over it and yesterday gave it a final go with the Simar 56. Actual got a cheer from neighbour, when I finished, can’t think why!!! Ground was still a bit wet but with the season we have had a case of getting in before more rain. Even got some spuds planted.

Opps I forgot Jon, he recently supplied a coil etc for the clinton engine on my Monro Tiller MG3.

Villiers parts are available from a number of suppliers eg Meetens, Villiers Parts. Whilst a new coil will be more expensive than a second hand one it should be certain to work whereas a second hand one will be of unknown reliability. From my own experience if replacing the coil I would replace the whole ignition system points and condenser.

ted20, can you let us have the names of these community farms and tell us if they have meeting rooms we can use eg seat approx 20-30 people.

[charlie]

pm sent regarding getting a copy to you.

[charlie]

Perhaps we should put the suggested locations to the members via The Cultivator asking for their views eg would they attend?

[charlie]

A quick look at their website and it looks as if they do have a room at Tilford we could use.

[charlie]

Do they have a suitable meeting room at Milestones?

Tony, welcome to the forum, is this like your machine?

Chris, I have sent you an e mail regarding a work round to this problem.
We have identified what the problem is and are working on changes to the website to resolve the issue caused by membership that has lapsed.

Spring washer RC40 is for the fixing bolts, not a thrust washer. Below is an extract from an earlier parts list for the series 3 which shows the parts laid out in the correct order.

it is the file extension .tif that is the problem. If you try a .jpeg file it should be OK.

James, are you sure it is riveted? It should have countersunk screws with nuts on inside, mine has had normal nuts and bolts fitted and appear to be slightly different design as no counter sunk hole. If the shaft is still a reasonable fit in the bearing you should be OK so long as bearing is well lubricated. Long term it will need a felt washer and cap.
