That was a good few years ago now.

As wristpin said. Values vary widely, have a look at on line auction sites for simialr items to get an idea of going rate.

You mean something like this, check your e mail.

Rich, it might be worth contacting vintagebrassplates to see if they can help.

Excellent display, congratulations to everyone involved. A very good mix of machinery and tools with a few rare and unusual items. The whole section really shows the range of items covered by the heading ‘horticultural’ and specifically what the VHGMC is all about.

I am sure if you send an e mail to Meetens with details of your engine and parts required they will be able to tell you if they are available and what the cost would be. If you have the engine number it will help. Another possibility is if this maodel of engine was used on motorcycles it could be worth looking at vintage motorcycle parts suppliers.
To find a donor engine you may need to buy an entire machine.

I was thinking the same. Perhaps a new series in The Cultivator and addition to survivors pages.

Have you tried Meetens for spares?

Neil is a member of this forum and should be able to answer your questions.

There are some photos of Progress tractor on this website in the photo galleries
I believe the Progress tractor was intended for sale in Africa.

If gearbox is in pieces it may be worth checking the bronze worm wheel and if it is not too badly worn keep it or sell it as a spare.

[charlie]

Could you post a picture of machine and engine? It could be a replacement engine, I have one with an Aspera engine which is white.

[charlie]

Sounds sweet.

Plenty of information about fuel on the FBHVC website Another issue with modern fuel is the ethanol content and how it can degrade certain materials eg cork and rubber, also water accumalation.

[charlie]

Certainly in much better condition than the model 4 (number 72) I have!!! Look forward to seeing and hearing your 4 working.
