That would be great Alan, at least that way the information will be saved in a stable, less fragile state. As I said, I did find it again this morning, yet last night Google didn’t find it??? Most peculiar!

does anyone know the paint code for 1959 Suffolk colt

[vhgmcbuddy]

Answered my own question and have now found it! Odd that ‘google’ didn’t find it last night though, yet this morning its the 2nd item down on the list!!!
Could a link to the old site be put on here?

Geoff, please put me down for a copy of the Trusty book, sounds very interesting…

Chris sorry to hear you are unwell, get well soon !

We’ll be at Tractor World next weekend, we’ve been asked to display one of our Cub Cadet tractors on the International Harvester Club GB display.

See you all there !

I found this photo in the archive section. Bits look very similar, but nobody could identify it for sure back then.

Intruguing. At first glance it looks like a Clifford, and I wondered whether there were 2 machines down there and the ID plate wasn’t the right one! But obviously not. The very puzzling aspect is the model number which doesn’t seem to exist, and the apparent 4 stroke engine. You could be about to uncover a “lost” SIMAR, Charlie. Have you tried asking on the French forum?

I’ll be there again i managed to wrestle the Cultmate to the top of the garden steps. (I’m not joking when I say wrestle she fought me all the way)

[vhgmcbuddy]

Perhaps it’s been imported from elsewhere weren’t Simars available readily in other countries? It’s an amazing find either way will she be joining your other Simars Charlie?

Thanks for the advice I’ve got hold of some Castrol.

Looks like something from “Time Team”!! Obviously a very early machine. I’ve had a quick google of the patent numbers, but nothing has turned up.

thanks everyone for the help, really useful

Hi Trusty9428 – I had similar problems and with much help from this site and especially Trusty220 I now have a perfect working clutch. I will try to do a link for the thread here (which has photos etc.), but despite me rebuilding the whole clutch (new springs, re-lined clutch shoes, new copper washer and clutch bushes) the thing that really solves the problem is to grease the clutch bush. You should find a grease nipple at the end of the keyway.
Do take care tightening up the bolts on the cast clutch housing as this can easily crack.

Hard to get Trusty in gear

hi all
firstly i would like to give a big thanks to you for supporting tractorfest last year, it was a great success with 10.000 visitors and we had wonderful feedback on the horticultural display which is all down to your great support.
this years event will be held on 19th and 20th of august 2017 and again we will be having a horticultural display theme. this years theme will be anything ransomes, from push mowers to crawlers. so if you have any ransomes equipment please do enter it this year.
there will also a wheelhorse roundup which has not been done in the south east since 2013 so again please do enter your wheelhorse if you have one.
as usual any other horticultural machinery and equipment is also welcome and is in my view equally important as the theme , please feel free to pm me if you have any questions
again many thanks for your continued support

I take it that some of you have looked at my 700 working plouing on Yoytube and maybe the old posting of the clutch modification I would recomend.
I am now looking for a pair of 19″ wheels and howard wheel spacers to fit a plough to another 700 also looking for a single furrow plow.

Thanks Jack Myosotis

It does have its disadvantages though, firstly it’s a 30 mile round trip from where I live, and secondly it’s size means a 47kg of propane only lasts about 3 weeks in our space heater this time of year.
