Hi rollomk6,
Afraid there not very good pictures, but it’s quite dark inside my workshop without the big doors open. Maybe put some better pics on here later.
It only has just one fuel tank, which I have cleaned out.
There is no throttle cable on there at the moment as I need to get a new one. The old one is not serviceable.
I bought this Cultmate in peices, as a project, so have not had her running as yet. Just need a throttle cable and a fuel pipe from the tank, to the carberettor. Might make one up with an inline fuel filter in it.
I have the two original side panel, but they are very thin, and nearly perished, so I will keep them off until I can get two new ones made. (using the old ones as a template)
Work is fairly quiet for me in January and February, so I am hoping to crack on and get her finished ready for the spring ploughing matches.

Thanks. i will get in my shed, spray some plus gas on various parts and after xmas start dismantling it.

Yes, it is an early M1 with the sliding engine to engage and disengage the belts. Later ones had a fixed engine with a cable controlled jockey pulley to do that function.

The cowling does have a brass plate on it, but is worn to the point that there seems to be nothing on it. All I need to do now is try and find out what year it was made…..will hopefully put some photos up over the Christmas holidays, as it’s been manic at work…!!!

You can certainly try a glow plug but if it was starting OK before then it should start without one now. You have replaced the injector and presuming that it is functioning as it should then it must be something else that you have done or not done during the replacement. I know how tempting it is to keep taking things to bits to try to solve a problem but the more you touch the harder it is to locate the fault. I have been guilty of the same many times. I am not at all familiar with these engines so I am just guessing from afar but is the fuel pump working as it should at all throttle openings? I had a slide stick in a fordson tractor so that the excess fuel button stayed out and I had to pull a fuel line off before I could stop it and the smoke could could be seen from space!
How do you stop the engine normally? How much smoke comes out of the exhaust when you try to start it? Your best bet is probably to get somebody else to cast a fresh pair of eyes over it. Worked for me on a twin carbed car which I couldn’t get to run. He said have you checked the plugs are getting fuel. Yes I replied. All of them? No just checked the no 1 plug. Turned out one carb had a stuck needle valves. I had spent days on it and it was sorted in 5 minutes. Tell people where you are located i bet somebody would love to help out

Could someone put me out of my misery and tell the make of the orange coloured tractor, which is towing a trailer carrying two people on garden seats in it.
