Look forward to seeing pictures. Have a look for a brass tag with a serial number on it on lh side of casting around flywheel.

A great bonus, bet you wouldn’t be able to find one of those bags if you were looking for one.

I am guessing it is the old problem of a reaction between the two types of paint/lacquer.

Yes. If you click on the time in the freshness column it will take you to the last post in that topic.

nigel, have a look at SIMAR lots of info and photos. I also have owners manual and parts list. Under the cowling is a more square looking cover.

I can see similarities with the 700 lookingat the photos

Could be a SIMAR 30 or C3.

Phil,no idea what it is, I don’t get it and nobody else has mentioned it. Next time it happens can you take a copy of the screen, (use the ‘prt scr’ button located to right of F1-F12 keys at top of keyboard. Then open word and paste and save document), you can then e mail it to me so I can see what the problem is.

Always better to have a machine up and running than sat in a corner with no engine. You can always convert to correct engine at a later date if you want/find one. 8hp should be enough, the SIMAR 56 is an 8hp 2 stroke and pulls a similar sized plough, (might even be a bit bigger). I remember a group of us discussing the subject of cleaning up ploughs and someone suggested finding a suitable beach, the only problem would be the salt rusting the plough very quickly after work finished.

Darren, excellent series of photos showing rebuild, especially handy for me as I have a similar mag that needs looking at. Good tip regarding sealing washers made from cut down grommets. Really glad to know it works.

According to the details in ‘British Tractors & Power Cultivators’ the Trusty weighs 7cwt, it does not say if this is with or without plough.

[charlie]

We have discussed this issue with the site developers and they confirm that the randomisation is in fact the software of the website putting images in alpha/numeric order, so Darrens solution should work.

[charlie]

Looks like a great show just wish it was a bit closer. Some great photos. I see our chairman got the Trusty saw bench finished in time.

Knowing Mr Walllingfield, he has probably waited for the colder weather before inviting jtg to view/sort through the caves!!!

I think another club member has part of an 800, located in Wales.
