Nice one Peter. It’s even got side shields!!

On the subject of oil for the gearbox, you now have me very worried as I have been using non EP SAE90 on my Simar 56 rebuild. The Simar 35/56 operators manual states Castrol ST or SAE90 for the gearbox. Is this incorrect??

Hello Lynn.

You seem to have been unfortunate to say the least.
Do you have any pictures? If so please can you post them on the forum.
Also, Scotland is quite a big place. Can you give an indication of your location?
I worked for an Agricultural engineers for a few years about 15 years ago.
We came across the odd Wheel Horse tractor.
Post some pictures and we will see.

Has your old Commer got one of there 2 stroke diesel engines in her ??.Do love the sound of a multi cylinder 2 stroke diesel :):):).The old American made Detroit 71 series engines sound even better :):):).Very nice Simar rotavator you have there and it looks like it retains its original paintwork too.

WHAT IS THE PURPACE OF THE BOOTLACES, MINE WORKS OK AND HASNT ANY?

[vhgmcbuddy]

I have one of these, not common in Australia – too slow in 400 acre paddocks! The missing bit in your photo is a piece of round wood, dowel, I would call it. There is also a long thin leather strip, not unlike a boot lace that is secured to each handle, and wraps around the drive shaft. Would you like more info, dimensions etc, music sheets?!

This is what I ordered last time.

Can you confirm this is OK before I order?

Thanks Neil,

I’ll try a new plug first. I’ll send you an email regarding the coil.

Cheers!

Very interesting trusty, my first and only guess was really wide of the mark. That’s two to you now, you’ll have to try for three in a row.

Both wheels now painted red, there going to need another coat once dried but looking good already.
once this is done its time to start on the rest of it.

New parts arrived from Meetens, and engine re-assembled. Just the timing, carb and exhaust left and I should be able to test fire this one……

Have removed all the old paint and degreased the bare engine, treated it to 2 coats of etch primer and a coat or 3 of ‘Linden Green’ matched to what was found on the underside of the sump.
