    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Photos appear lighter and clearer in the proof copy. It could be a problem with the printing, may be we need to speak to the printers.

    There should be a filter gauze in the banjo connecting fuel line to carburettor, see photo for example which I found by doing a search using google.

    I did print a similar request in the Feb 2018 issue of The Cultivator. Well worth repeating I think.
