My renewal dealt with in lightning fast time! Thanks Charlie, coaster has pride of place on the table beside my easy chair! Thanks to all for the great quality of The Cultivator. Hope to get to more events this year and Weeley has got to be a must for a SIMAR fanatic!
The themed event this year is anything to do with Ransomes. You would be located at other end of showfield in the Stephenson Extension, whereas the VHGMC stand and exhibits will be in Crocker Hall 2 which is inside.
Hi Mayfield check the bottom of the gearchange lever as this hole with two flats often gets worn on the flats and you end up with a very sloppy gear change I have two Mayfields and they both were badly slotted out but with a welder and flat file these were easily repaired it made such a difference to the gear change hope this helps
With all the rain I am having some problems with traction, I have fitted Knobly tyres 12-3.00 as I could not find chevron tyres, Looking through the workshop found a pair of rims of what I suspect is a Howard 400. Also have a JAP engine and fuel tank. I already noticed that the engine mount to gearbox is the same as on the Yeoman rims seem to be the same bolt positions and the size is 12-4.00 for which I have a spare pair of tyres so will be fitting these to see if they can be used with the Yeoman gearbox. Might be tight with the Roto box installed
Not yet Peter. The SIMAR is currently buried at the back of a shed behind several other machines. I had hoped to have my new, larger, shed built by now, making everything more accessible, but as is often the way, I just haven’t had the time.
