Hi all if any of you are coming to Weeley please let me know so I can plan the weekend and the camping space as the camping field may be a bit tight this year cos the sheep pen has been extended. There will be enough room but you may have to park tidily to make room for everybody. View

    I believe that Garrets of Dartford were Ransomes dealers. They made a lot
    of inter row cultivators to fit on Ransomes crawlers. Taken over by
    The Doe co a few years ago.

    Picture no 14. Is that your best table cloth? Get it in the washing machine quick before
    Mrs R, she who has to be obeyed finds out.
    For cleaning carbs etc I use 28 second heating oil and an ultrasonic cleaner.
    The job is beginning to look good.

    Would it be possible to you to sketch the metal frame with some dimensions for me.
    My heater is the smaller of the two shown in your photos but I do not have the
    framework to go with it.

    I have just obtained a greenhouse heater by P J Bryant
    of Bristol. Can any member help me with any copies of instruction
    books or advertising material. The heater is about 122 diameter
    with two large copper tubes about 3 feet long across the top.
    Quite a large item but defiantly of interest.
    Cheers. Dave.

    I checked my Teagle Jetcut this morning. No numbers on the belt
    but it measured 27 inches round the outer of the belt. I hope that
    this is of use to you.

    action yet but it will probably be as previous years. So watch this space and

    I am sorry to have to do this but the Weeley working weekend
    this year is cancelled. The risk of spreading the covid virus
    is too great. David Weeley and I had a long chat the other day
    and reluctantly decided that it was too risky.
    Roll on 2022.
    Stay virus free.

    dave replied to the topic Lawn roller found in garden in the forum Help and information 1 year, 4 months ago

    At a guess the old wooden handle rotted out and a enterprising
    gardener hammered a metal spike in so he could carry on rolling
    the lawn.

    dave replied to the topic Gem 600 cc JAP carburetor jet measurements help in the forum General talk and discussion 1 year, 8 months ago

    I have a Clifford Cultivator fitted with a J A P 600cc side valve engine
    and the J A P handbook states a Zenith 24T-2 no 1467 carburetter.
    So maybe you could fit a Zenith instead of the Amal.
    I can scan and send you the details if required.

    dave replied to the topic Wizard simplex pump in the forum Help and information 1 year, 10 months ago

    We think that it worked off a pressurised system so the flow
    of water kept the pump working. Probably in a overhead system
    in large glasshouses or market gardens.

    Hi, Your Ransomes MG5 dates from 1949. I do have a parts list for a MG5 and an engine
    instruction book. I can get my grandson to download and send to you. Please
    contact me at djclark89@btinternet.com and I will try and help you.
    Dave Clark.
