Ben welcome to the forum. I have a similar age Howard with the BJ engine and broken reverse gear. The early reverse gear machines had a serious fault where reverse could be engaged while still in forward gear, this results in stripped gears. My machine only has 2nd and 3rd gear as 1st is damaged.
A great weekend, well worth driving 206 miles to get there. Worth going just to meet other club members and have a good chat as well as see machines working or static display. Thanks to everyone involved in organising the event and to every club member that attended.

I am visiting MERL on Wednesday, donating some old bw 16mm films, looking through some of the Geo Monro items in collection and if time permits a look around the museum. Might make an article for The Cultivator.
Great news. The website ‘about’ page (partly hidden by logo on menu bar) should give a good starting point for any article with additional information, photos etc. He can contact the club directly at vhgmc@btinternet.com
