    Ransomes MG crawler. When I was a child, I had a cut away drawing of one showing all the different parts. It always fascinated me and have wanted one ever since. I am pretty sure I still have the drawing somewhere!!

    Like yourself, my Dad is to blame for my garden machinery collection. He had always grown his own fruit and veg (and still does even in his 8th decade!!), so once a year the Trusty was dragged out of hibernation and used to plough the garden. A Howard 400 was then used to break the soil down.
    I was never really interested in the stuff until 7 years ago, when I was made redundant from my then job. Finding myself at a bit of a loose end, I dragged one of his abandoned Trusty’s from the nettle patch and started tinkering, and have never stopped!!

    Here are photos of one of my two, both identical. Are probably a later model as both the cutter bar and wheel are chain driven.

    Sure I have 2 brand new tubes if you need them. Guessing you will as most of the time you will destroy the old ones getting them out!!

    Where are you based? I am in West Sussex if you get stuck

    Hello Ian
    I’ve taken lots of photos and measurements. PM me your email address and I’ll send them through, it will save me having to shrink the photos!

    Peter,

    Could you send me photo and dimensions of Hirth starting handle, I’m trying to locate original one as mine is made up of bits and pieces.

    I have a UK supplier who might be able to supply from original photo.

    regards,
    ian.
