I’ve got an old brochure that shows the brushcutter, it’s a bit beat up but still nice to have.
It’s not A4 so I have had to scan the left and right sides separately.

Hello Tony, welcome to the forum. I have a Mk I Troy Tractivator in my collection.
I have a plough and set of discs for mine, your brushcutter attachment looks interesting.
I will try and get you some dimensions for the handle this weekend. Looking at my photos does the rear of your machine look the same as mine where the handle connects?

Thank you will-haggle, Its old but not as old as some of the other old goods on this forum. I hope some day that it will be around long enough to be classed as a vintage tractor. She get used everyday. I work it here on 50 acres hauling wood, cutting grass, plowing/blowing snow, pulling the hay wagon, etc. She has never let me down. I just love it. What brand do you have? Does it have a story? Maybe some pictures?

Its commonly called A ‘Grape Eye’ and can come in different shapes,used for climbing plants on walls by hammering them in the cement joints.
The modern version is made from flat steel with a hole in the top

My blacksmith friend says it is for knocking into brickwork etc and he has made 100’s in his time Ud for clothes linetc

I wonder if it is possible to rig up a separate fuse board between the loom in the car and the socket? I was thinking that in the old days you had a simple fuse holder for the radio power lead, could I have a number of those , one for each wire going to the socket? that would prevent a fire wouldn,t it? might sound daft, but I am picking up the replacement car tomorrow, and I never want to see another one bunt out!

Similar to mine, I personally dont think this was fitted by ransomes.

Alan, A thousand Thanks, I had no idea such information existed, very useful indeed.

Thanks for the info, I think my exhaust would probably benefit from a good clean out. Like your engine my MG40 is not smokey, just noticed the oil.
Thanks
Rob

Sorry to read about your troubles, I have an extinguisher in a caravan, from now on I will transfer to the car when not using the van. Follow charlies advice on that first offer.
