Ok Thanks for that I might well.

Personally I would still go to Tractor World anyway…

theres shows all around england that we can fly the banner, and we do, dropping t/w would not be the end of the world

Had a lucky find today. While going through some of the photos I took when stripping the Trusty down, I noticed that there was a stepped boss with a piece of rod attaching it to the top of the crash bar (see photo). This looked remarkably like the missing throttle rod block for the twist grip. Went rummaging through the bits I had removed from the tractor and took the more detailed photo. It’s definitely the throttle rod block, so is one less bit that I need to get manufactured. Couldn’t believe it had been staring me in the face all this time!!!!

Hi

Hi chaps.
Well I am mostly there anyhow.
Thus far I have new rings, points and condenser. I’d have changed the coil too probably but there don’t seem to be any in the country from the usual suppliers.
I won’t bother with anything else until I change the coil now, but if I have time I will split the case and check the main bearings. I do know that the small end is OK.

Thanks for all the advice. I really like the challenge, and do want to achieve an engine that starts first pull to.

Ta, Jim

Thanks Geoff. Will be posting an update soon in the projects section.
