Good idea to change oil.chinese still a bit basic and may have some rubbish still in there.would you use fully synthetic, I have on a new m/c,would be fine and easier starting and should run better.

Thank you for that Jim, I will give the Mk1X machine a miss, not much good without a Rotorvator or a plough.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thanks for that! I’ll take another look tomorrow and let you know!

Hi, had a better look at the 730E and your engine cover looks a bit different. You can probably see better having the engine their. So ?.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Hi. Looks like a 730E lightweight. If you google Villiers 730E engine, to see these engines. I haven’t got a manual, but someone on here might have. It does look a bit tired, but apart from the starter looks complete.

Very Interesting, never heard of the Wentworth, but the photos show a very different setup than the one advertised on the auction site, that one shows a front mounted unit driven from the same pulley as the scythe, no rotor guide , also the scythe looks different. have a look.

Hi wandr
I dont have fule tank straps but I do have some thing that may be of intrest to you its a cutter bar for a bantam to make it like an old mowing machine, it worked on my dads bantam ok about 20 years ago it still turns freely and is at the give away price of nothing but you will have to collect from the Wrexham north wales area you can contact me at terry.poundt@homecall.co.uk this is the only one I have seen
Regards dnuop.

Think I have solved it, from research on the net it would appear that this number sequence was produced in 1946.

G’day roatavator,
Wow. Can’t thank you enough. You have just ended a 2 year search for the hand book. And the workshop manual is an added bonus that I didn’t know even existed anymore. I bought the F190 about 2 to 2 1/2 years ago in a non working state for around equivalent to 180 pounds (just fell in love with it) and slowly acquired parts for it. It starts easy, runs without missing a beat and cost a small fortune.LOL I call it the “angry pig” It is no wonder people have died from using this seriously overpowered machine. The hand book will serve as a means of controlling it a bit better. Once again THANKYOU! If you or anyone else have any questions regarding this machine, I will be only too pleased to try and answer them. Best regards, Ian

Hello Jim,
I have two junior models and a Autogardener, I now have the offer of a MK 1X but there is no rotorvator with it, do you know if the rotorvator from the autogardener will fit this model? as these do turn up from time to time as spares, as I have not seen any mk1X machines on offer, and its not much good without a rotorvator. Cheers Plonker

[vhgmcbuddy]

Very many thanks for that offer Dave, with regard to machines to purchase I would think that spares supply may dictate choice of machine especially with regard to tyres. I have seen an Auto Culto Gardener complete with plough which might be good but I have heard that tyres for this one are all but impossible to obtain and I suspect that these may be a frequent replacement when using on fields etc

I will get back to you Charlie when I can get down the barn and check the gear lever in drive, I will have to take the wheels off to try it, or raise them off the ground, so far I have only tried it in neutral.

[vhgmcbuddy]

just print off the ploughing guide from this forum get along to a few local matches chat with the other entrants and it all becomes easier to follow. some will do lots of practice before even thinking of entering, i personally had a bit of practice then took the plunge and entered a few local matches. scored 99 of 140 for my first go. most will be very happy to give you advice on how and what to do. the most important thing is to enjoy it, not worry how good or bad you are as it will all come with practice
