Bill, I would be interested, I have sent you a pm, Sten

I will take it off the machine tomorrow and photograph it at close range, it,s that rubber bung that bugs me, never heard of one before.

Looking at the engine manual, it states the carb is an Amal 124. While restoring my Trusty, I found one of these carbs (which now makes sense as I also have the remains of a Cultmate awaiting restoration). Attached is a photo. The float chamber and screw on top are just a smaller version of what is fitted to the Amal 225 and 276 model carbs. So, looks like yours has lost it’s original float chamber top.

It is interesting, I have not owned a seeder before, and I have only seen the hand pushed variety, this one I am sure was designed to fit a machine, I saw a Trusty catalogue, and that showed seeders fitted to the tool bar, have you heard of MG or GM? of Birmingham? Regards

Hi Sten

Thanks for the info. I ll be in Germany briefly next week so will see what I can find.

Do you have any idea what these things are worth or who might be interested in them?

Thanks

Bill

That is terrific thank you, nice to get help when you need it! here are some shots of the cultmate, showing the broken plough share and point, also a few shots of the carburetta, I think there is a part missing, I still cant work out the rubber plug at the top, I am sure someone will recognise it. Thanks again.

Hi Bill, that is a nice Solo generator you have there, I am a collector of the later Solo multimot engine and attachments but yours is the 1st version and I don’t know anything about it so sorry cant help with either questions. Germany would be the best chance of parts but couldn’t say where or how you would start.

Thanks hillsider. I will check once more inside the engine compartment when I am next with the “beast” in 3 weeks time.

Thanks a lot hillsider. I will check again inside the engine compartment when I am next with the tractor in 3 weeks time. Thanks again.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Don’t know what the old silencer looks like. Even the catalogue shows the “wrong” side of the tractor. I can only assume it looking like a slice of a cylinder about 3″ diameter and 5″ thick …… but that’s only a guess.
