Maybe not the best engineered modifications but all part of this machines history. It does create a dilemma; keep as is, restore, return to original or break for parts?

Alan, thanks for that piece of information, another piece of the puzzle solved.

Well done to all involved, an impressive display. Pre Barford machines would make a good item for The Cultivator.
Geoff, I see what looks like a stage 1 V8 Land Rover, a forward control, a 101 and a Belgian army Minerva in the line up, thanks.

The extract I posted is from a workshop manual, not the owners manual. I suspect tools, especially valve seat cutter will be expensive. It will probably be cheaper to go to an engineering company, ideally one that is familiar with small engines.

The pdf file below is an extract from the workshop manual for Mk10, 12 and 15 not F15 engines, but may be of some help.

No idea on numbers sold in UK. Very little progress but I am planning to get on with it this winter, just need to clear space in garage.
I did discover from material held at MERL it is in fact a 10E.

The only other I can think of is the 10 and its derivatives I have two and know of at least one in a museum at Bicton Park.

I went a number of years ago when it was held near Bruton, very interesting to see the different styles of hedge laying.

Very tidy, pity about the side cover.
My machine serial number is 27125, the information I have shows model 50 production year as 1934. However the serial number of mine falls in a range that is shown as allocated to model 52, 1937 to 1940, (26401-29296). Confusing.
