I’ve forgotten: can you give the plate number of your motocultivator? Usually it becomes with a “T”
an american friend of mine tries to gather all the numbers of the still living models D in USA and Europe both american and english tractors.
Also: is your tractor a simple clutch tractor or an “Imperial”tractor with fwd/rvs drive?
Also: do you know that your Gravely comes from a factory which never existed: not a trace in Devon!!!!

I’m so sorry Pete but my limited english vocabulary doesn’t allow me to explain better
I apologize and would you excuse me?

I am afraid that it is a creeping Illness that can overtake a normal person, to such an extent that they are quite unable to operate in normal social gatherings, Panic attacks start when the victim realises that not everyone they talk to understands, or is even remotely interested in Rotorvators, clutches and throttle cables, and eventually they begin to realise that it is not just the “Others” who are the Anoraks.

That’s nice, I have just bought the reel without the trolley locally, it cost me a whole fiver !!

Not a clue on age, sorry

i think the calender on the old site was very good for keeping up to date with events. could this not be applied to the new better site then echoed into the cultivator? this way it would meet all members needs be it old school or new tech. also potential new members could see a list of events while on their trial membership, come to an event and meet other members.

Thanks for that. Obviously someone has added that part over the years.I’m now wondering if the carb is wrong. Mine is a V1335c with a transparent cup and filter. Does anyone know if this is correct?
I’m getting quite fanatical about all this, is this normal? I used to think that this sort of thing was reserved for anoraks with nothing better to do!

hi Andre
so what you are telling me is to take the bearing off which is a very tight fit and this will let me get the gear and the gear box cover off ,so its just the bearing keeping it on
many thanks mate
and to all aothers for there sugestions

Thanks for that, It looks like the one in the Allen catalogue for the “F” but as you say seems to have been modified, it will be easy enough to put on two more square bars, and I have a depth wheel from a model ts cultivator, I just couldnt work out what the angle plate was for.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Yes there is, but not all on the net/forums

[vhgmcbuddy]

Ah, another one of my ex allen attachments!!

Right. It is for a Model F machine, BUT you have the depth wheel missing.

Looks like its been adapted in the past to fit another machine. Not an Allen. That plate will just bend if used in anger. The bars which that plate it bolted to are not long enough for a model F.

Bit of a bitza. Never noticed it when I had it. Came with a job lot, which in turn sold to Ade, the guy you brought it from!

This swings over and stops the clutch engaging without relying on the clutch cable I should think to aid easy starting .
