Many thanks for the replies,that gives me something to go on. I did want to get a Nuffield universal 3 tractor but in the end it seemed expensive for a toy and much harder to transport! Now the only problem is that I don’t know how to plough!!

That makes sense Charlie, and thanks for your reply, but it does mean that club members can’t access any information on the register, which is a shame.

Sorry for the delay, have been away, YES, the “Notchiness” feels as if gear teeth are almost engaging, and yes it is the same now I have taken the engine off, I thought at first it was something to do with the jackshaft selector, but I have taken that off and still no joy, I have tried moving all the gear selectors, and that does not help, I cant think what I have done, as I did not open the gearbox during the restoration, unless I have done something to the clutch shaft.?

Hi all
an excellent 2 days and for me only a fields walk away from home!
Very interested in the ploughing and now considering a machine to take part with next year. I am looking at two wheel walk behind so apart from the anzani and trustys that were there what else would be suitable, any info most welcome. Are there any more working events or matches coming up?

….made some progress this afternoon on the first clean of the outside of the bucket and a start on some of the brass….

It does resemble the Mysto No 6 – photo attached – apart from the direction of the lever/spray assembly and handle. As the chrome is a little chipped in places I can see the base material is brass.

It never stops does it? it took me hours to refit the engine single handed, and then I found the Gear box has become so “Notchy” that I cant turn it quick enough to spin the engine fast enough to fire it! also the clutch is slipping, so taken the engine back off and removed the clutch and will have to fit stronger springs, the manual says 30 ft lb of torque, but that would just close the springs , leaving no movement for the clutch to release, also need to find out why I have made the gear box “Notchy” in my restoration! Ah Well.
