Well I’ve collected it. Very tidy machine, been repainted but looks as though it hasn’t done much work in its life. Very straight and no dents. Good runner too. Unfortunately the only missing bit is one of the side plates, yes the one with the id plate so history is a mystery. I see from the French site they predated the 56. What years were they sold here Charlie?

Got mine yesterday, thanks to all concerned.

Mine arrived today too, proper job Mr ‘aggle !!

Do you have an image of one or a parts book illustration? There’s a possibility that it may have been a proprietary item and used on another manufacturer’s machine.

I got a JAP 5 going spare

Thanks Stuart,
To be honest I don’t see the Engine causing much trouble. More the gearbox and back axle that will cause more of an issue.
Cheers,
Liam

I think the engine fitted was a J.A.P model 5 so you should be able to find one of those quite easily.

I think an A series Wico magneto from a Ransomes MG2 will have similar mounts and sprocket chain drive.

Thanks for the replies …It would be great if anyone could supply a photo of this chain driven magneto as info is scare on the web

Hi Alan,
Sorry not to reply sooner, but I’ve been away with work. Great of you to reply and thanks for the leaflets – both very relevant.
Those leaflets are interesting and they have some similarities to my trailer, and some differences.
I have learnt elsewhere that the wheels were a Martin Markham unique feature in that the rims can be bolted inside or outside the centre flange to alter the tracking width.
I’ve found that there is an archive of Martin Markham literature at the University of Reading, in their archive of Museum Rural Life. When I get the chance, I’ll make an appointment and view the records.
You’ve made me think about visiting some local agricultural dealers again now I’ve got more information as that may generate some leads too.
If you think of anything else, please do let me know.

Gday All, Does anyone know where i can acquire a parts manual for the landmaster hawk?
Or is there someone that can give me dimensions of the tiller dog clutch, to have it made.
Also id like to know if there are springs that hold the dog clutch.
Anyone know where these parts maybe available?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Al
