Well , Thank you all for your comments, I did buy the correct wiring set when I bought the towbar, I dont know if the fact that i put the hazards on was the problem, perhaps it overloaded the loom? I must say i phoned the towbar supplier up for their opinion, (They did not fit the towbar) but thought the relay should have prevented the overheating, but i dont think the chap was a specialist electician, I think seperate fuses as mentioned above is the way I will go with the next one, It,s been a very expensive Christmas this year! ps I have just bought a Fire Extinguisher!

I’m guessing just ordinary mild but hopefully someone will know for sure.

Hello Tony
I have emailed you the two brochures.
Be sure to post photos of any work you do on the Troy.
I’ll try to post the brochures here as well for all to see.

Hi Rob. This is great as I thought I would never get anywhere with this machine so soon but it just goes to show that if you ask in the right place someone one will turn up trumps, so yes email me any thing you have please to anthonyglawrence@outlook.com.
The picture of the disc cutter & saw is the one I have, look forward to hearing from you
Thanks Tony

I had tow hitch fitted to a VW two years ago. To cut down wire cost the stop and rear light is a single wire and bulb. Fitter told me the brake light switch sends higher wattage along the single wire to brighten it for the stop light. As mentioned needs the right wire kit. Might be your replacement car has the two wires set up.

You can get wiring kits for most cars now, how old was your car??

Most need an extra booster box as the standard wiring is not man enough to take extra load if you just clip any old wire up to it with a good old scotch lock

Fitted a tow bar to my works van before Xmas, the kit was just a plug & play.

Sounds like, who ever fitted your electrics is at fault

I take it some of them were your machines Chris??

The Gem must be!

Steve,

I use Millers Straight 40 engine oil in my MG40

Need to give mine a good service this year also

Can’t add anything to the advice you have already been given on the oil, other than I have also used Morris Oils. I think it was the gear oil I got from them.
As for the pressure release valve in the pump, the manual states it is set to give 500 PSI.
Any chance you could post a few photos?

Hi, I got the dimensions of my Troy Tractivator handle at the weekend. It’s just taken me a couple of days to get time to sit at my computer. It is sort of buried at the back various bits and pieces and as such couldn’t be got out so I hope the photos are okay.
The photo of the rear of your machine shows where the rod connects coming from the top of the handles, this pushes in to engage drive to the wheels.
If the PDF with the dimensions does not open let me know and I can email it to you.
If you cannot readily source tubing of the correct size you could always turn a short section of steel to fit the hole on the base of your machine and then weld whatever tube you can get on top of this.
I do not have access to a photocopier large enough to do the two brochures that I have. What I can do is photograph them and then crop the image to the size of the brochure and then email you the pics.

Rob

That is very good advise Charlie, I will do it, the fuse holder seems just the job, I still cant get over the shock of the fire, not something I ever thought about!
