Sorry, typing error, I meant to write one two strokes, but I suppose thinking about all 700’s that I’ve seen had two strokes as a factory option. A lot of the 700’s tanks that I’ve come across have cut outs on the front edge. This one is flat. When stripping the paint there was a small line of pin prick holes, I didn’t fancy welding it for obvious reasons so am experimenting with an ethanol proof chemical sealer.

the downside to our hobby, i went to my workshop today and my paintwork looked spoton now as you know i want to use this tractor for working days when it is finished and want some thing easy to clean, so i spent all morning wet flating my nice shiney paintwork so i could give it a coat of 2k laquer, look what happend two weeks of work gone up the swanny.

Its a big place that showground and there will be another time. You probably past me and did not recognise me in my country gentleman outfit.

Some excellent pictures, thanks for sharing them with us.

For those who come a long way, thankyou also. Remember, the judge for Land Rovers comes from Launceston in Cornwall, the furthest tractor came from County Galway, some people really do take their hobbies seriously. LOL Phil

They are similar to look at, but unfourtantley almost nothing interchanges. The handlebars do fit but even they will need modifying to look the part. The fuel tank is the same as some four stroke 700’s though, but that’s about it.

The transformation took every body by surprise. People where not sure if it was me or not. Must add though it makes a pleasant change

I think 8 hp. is more that adequate for a Cultimate, I think the original engine was only about 4 hp, The Hoemate which also had a plough was only about 2hp, in fact the Big Ploughmate was not 8hp, someone will correct me if I am wrong, these old machines all worked with low hp, and clever gearing and of course weights when ploughing!.it always amazes me at ploughing events how good a result some ploughmen get with the small machines.
