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

[charlie]

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.

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.

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.

Ouch. I guess with care the cam could be welded and machined. The photo with all the parts laid out is great, certainly shows people what is inside one of these mags.

[charlie]

Good news, let me know if it happens again, with details of which clip.

[charlie]

Yes I have BMB Hoemate instructions available on CD, too big to send via email. Drop me a message for details. (click on my name then private message).

[charlie]

It is one of the features to be added at a later date. We are concentrating on getting what we have at present working 100% first.
