Many thanks for that information. I’m searching for an engineering company who might be able to manufacture a new part with little success so I’ll take your suggestions and start afresh.

Hi New to this forum and have a question about 12hp Gems mine has stripped the splines out of the right hand hub, Are there any fixes for this (inserts ,liners etc) the splines on the shaft look un touched but the cylinder on the 4 bolt flange has been stripped out. Did consider Mig welding some metal back on and file and grinding it out must be a better fix out there. regards kettering bloke.
NOTE. A new topic has been created for this question. Howard Gem stripped hub splines .

Thank you Charlie, I thought this would be a little more inconspicuous… 😉

Hi all, sorry for the zombie thread resurrection. Just joined mainly because I have one of these. Does any one by any chance still have the service manual on file please? I have one but the return springs on the throttle don’t work at all, so need to make sure they’re the right length / in the right order. Starts fine, but if I throttle up, I either have to choke it to stop it or poke the cable attachment downwards with a stick to reduce the revs…
I have a couple of other vintage machines, so hopefully may be able to contribute at some point!
Many thanks in advance,
Milo

Hi.
Thank you for the info.

Thanks for the reply it is all original,the plate says Dexter hedge and shrub trimmer made by Lloyds of Letchworth there’s no plate to indicate the voltage it is putting out about 6volts but I think this is a bit low.

Here’s a photo of the generator that the hedge trimmer plugs into I hope this helps to identify it

Ours is a 7/32, the logo is a bit less flashy perhaps yours is the equivalent of a ghia model and ours is the L. Too many ford cars in our family!!

Thanks for info, I found a Merry Tiller plate under a lot of paint but can not make out any details from it. It could well have been made from various donors over the years!!

Have you tried the Museum of English Rural Life at Reading University. They have a lot of literature on Ransomes MGs and might want to add to there there museum which has a lot of exhibit’s of various old machinery.
