Time for the concrete, but how to get approx 8 cubic metres of concrete from front of house to back garden without making dozens of trips with a wheelbarrow and before concrete sets? Luckily a local company will supply a small concrete pump, so that is how we did it. All concrete poured in no time at all, well worth the expense.

Next was shuttering and reinforcing.
Whilst we had the mini digger on site it was used to dig a hole for the soakaway, you will see how much stone there is our ground once you get down 12″.

There have been some excellent topics on the forum that would make good magazine articles, so come on and share those topics with all club members, remember not all club members use the website. This will give Alan some very good material, all you need to do is send him the words and photos by e mail.

Please see the article on FBHVC website regarding TVO mixing and use. Fuel Information scroll down to Other Fuels. The VHGMC is a subscriber club.

My copy arrived Friday and the spare copies for new members etc arrived Saturday.
Special thanks to Alan as he was struggling with a less than perfect computer whilst compiling the June edition.

We can put the Trusty in the ‘workshop’ area of the marquee. Bring your ear defenders as I will be bringing the Rototiller 56 to do a bit of work, plus a few other machines. Looking forward to the weekend, hope it is dry.

This is a photo from e bay some time ago and shows a very similar machine, definitely a Land Master.

I have an idea it could be a Landmaster, what does the leaflet say?

[charlie]

He is much sought after as Peter Martin was after his number as well.

terrano, you would be better to start a new topic and post the photo there.

Tom, have a look at the FBHVC website there have been numerous articles in their recent newsletters about registering vehicles, it has got harder since closure of local DVLA offices. Do you really need to register it?

Chris, Alan thanks for information. I just did a search for Allman and found E Allman Sprayers Ltd were dissolved January 2016.

Good news, carb now refitted to engine and it starts and runs, success.

[charlie]

If the carb has had water in it then you could have problems caused by corrosion, see my post Walbro carb . As your engine runs OK at high speed but not at idle it might be worth checking the slow running jet is clear and set correctly.

Thanks to Sean for pointing me in the right direction. I had a good poke around with a small screwdriver and found the hole shown in the last photo. It was completely filled with hard corrosion caused by float chamber having water in it some time in the past during storage.
