That hydraulic lift looks like a very handy gadget. You have done a remarkable job on the MG6.
Any updates on the engine rebuild?

Hello Chris

After a relative passed away recently a number of old trade magazines from when my grandfather had his market garden have come into my possession. I had a quick look through them and had been meaning to scan some of the adverts that would be of interest to members on here. On reading your post the name Brosson rang a bell, I have just had a look again and in ‘Nurseryman & Seedsman’ dated 22 April 1954 I found the attached advert. Hope it’s what you are looking for.

Hi, it looks like a Howard dragon. It had a 8 HP Kohler engine. I’m sure you will get some more info on here.

Hi i replaced the bearings in the gearbox on mine as most of the troubles come from failed bearings check the needle roller nr the righthand trumpet hard to get the right one it must be a full complement bearing .for parts try gary chambers, garycolt on the forum.

I believe the transmission was the weak area on these machines.I know someone who used one regularly on his allotment 25 odd years ago and when the gearbox broke he scrapped it.He did give me his original owners manuals and a rotavator attachment.I think your best bet would be to have the gears made but it will cost many £££££££,s

I’ve got one Andy but I am not that confident yet to cut a thread like that, I am only just getting into outside threads and the nut could do with being hardened although I suppose that wouldn’t matter.

As has been said the threads are most likely to be BSW or BSF but I recently worked on a JAP two-stroke that what at first sight appeared to be BSF were actually Cycle Thread. I was able to obtain a selection of cycle thread nuts from an Internet trader amusingly named Nooky’s Nuts!

Some photos of the starter set up and battery fitting. Also new decals for the Ramdozer copied from an old leaflet. I have now set up a hydraulic lift which makes working on these machines a lot kinder on my back.

Mr Wallingfield says your seat is being warmed up. There will be emergency alcohol to hand, in the form of Sloe Vodka and I’m sure lighting will be fixed up knocked off from the villages illuminations, hope you don’t mind the fairy!

Very interesting to hear from people who have used this practice, I dont have wheel weights or steel wheels for my cultmate , hence the interest in water ballast, I suppose you just take out the tyre valve and rig up some type of syphon or hand pump to transfer the water, I suppose you can use antifreeze instead of calcium chloride?

Got mine yesterday thanks
