Hey
I have two Honda F90 Tillers
The GD90 engine book is also in my possession. What would you like to know about the machine?
Best regards
Olivier

Thank you.
I fear that you are right about catching the bug. I think, however, that my wife might put some counter-measures in place!
I am collecting the machine this weekend, so I will have more detail then. I wonder whether it is already known on the circuit? I will keep you posted.
The number of replies that you post on this forum to questions on Trustys is very reassuring (as well, I am sure, to all the other proud owners).
Happy New Year to you too, and I will try not to ask too many questions.

Hi Paul, depending how original you want to go, I remember seeing one that had been re-engined with a Kubota diesel that had a bit of poke

Hi Alan!

That’s great information, thank you! I’ll make sure I do a whole thread on the tear down and rebuild when I get round to it. Last time it was all cosmetic other than a gearbox repair as there was a problem with reverse.

His mower deck was long gone when recovered from the scrap yard by my dad as a present all those years ago as something to learn basic mechanics on.

Thankfully there are some original areas of paint still, as I repainted him in glass jars of acrylic from Woolworths all those years ago as it was the closest match!

We only ever used him for traction, pulling a muck trailer when we had goats growing up or for moving sacks of feed from the car to the shed. I built up a disc aerator with dad from some left over drill coulters we had and would drive up and down the garden slicing in – I’m not sure it ever did any good!

I’ve shrunk a picture on my phone so hopefully it’ll upload this time.

If anyone knows of any spares or others kicking around, feel free to comment in here too – I’ve found 2x BM829s that’ll make one good one in France, but my wife thinks that is a bit excessive for now, so just working out where I can hide them… 😉

Cheers

Oli

Hi,
I have just aquired a Crawley 75 with a JAP petrol engine, with dual fuel arrangement. It does not have hydraulic lift, so it would be interesting to see pictures of how this system is designed on your traktor. The arms for the 3 point lift is also missing. The original centrifugal clutch is intakt, but I think I will modify to a belt drive clutch.
Kind Regards, Svein

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the reply, handle bars are two piece folding with white plastic around top with a typical throttle lever of the time ( no cable at present). Was thinking smaller manufacturers, a farm building maker nr me made a few Briggs engined mowers mid 1970s steel decks though. Cheers Andy

Mine came today as well

Poultry singer . May be for removing the stubs of the feathers after plucking.

Just come across this. It is a poultry singer(spelling as on box).
