Dan hope your magazine arrives and thanks for reminding me to put copy on the website.

Let me know if you need manual or parts list for the Rototillers.

Many thanks to Jim, Karen and other helpers for arranging and setting everything up, also great lunch.

Joe, will traffic for IAT at Fairford cause any travel problems for you?

[charlie]

Jim, I will be away from site on Saturday morning, back around 10:00am. I am taking part in an event celebrating 175 years of engineering history in Swindon my old Land Rover will be one of the many vehicles taking part.

The one with the B&S engine has got me stumped. Looks like Rowtrac wheels at the back, Rototiller 30, 5 and two 50’s.

I am planning to arrive around 2pm Friday to set up 4x10m marquee. Do you want me to bring a couple of tables Jim?

[charlie]

If it arrives in time I will try and remember to bring it along to Lotmead event.

At last the rain has stopped and the sun is out, made good progress today and got the main roof timbers on.

I have ordered a 5L can. Wil report on its use when I have tried it. Something for The Cultivator.

That is a question often asked, I believe they are almost impossible to obtain new. Some Gunsmith owners have fitted 20″ wheels I think. Dave Dear has a contact for rims and tyres that give the same overall diameter as the 6:00×22, it does involve cutting the old wheel to fit them.

The carb on the 56 has no adjustment for mixture, two fixed jets, probably worn.

[charlie]

The Dyane had disc brakes

[charlie]

Sounds as if it is four stroking at times engine note changes from the usual two stroke sound to a harsher crack and sounds as if it has slowed down. My 56 does this.

To help protect the timber frame from damp I laid one course of bricks. Work is progressing, rain permitting and we now have framework for one side up.
