The manual on that link is probably better quality than i could do for you.

[vhgmcbuddy]

for the color, I already noticed that it not match with color of the original (white), but if it’s not the first engine maybe the machine is older than the engine. nobody know how we can determine the manufacture date with the serial number (PAT NO 714394 SER NO TMT101173)?

For the link you suggest, I have already seen it, but it’s younger machines I think.

The colour of the engine would suggest that it is not the one that it left the factory with so it’s build date code will not be reliable for dating the rest of the machine when it comes to obtaining parts.

Used to look after one of the original Horwools before it was reinvented as the Nickerson. All the time it worked it did a good job but eventually the lack of essential parts such as universal joints to drive the cutter units killed it. We investigated modifying off the shelf U/Js but the owner decided otherwise! From memory I think that we found that Bedford CF van steering column U/Js were a possible option.
As an aside, the younger generation probably have little idea of how easy such searches are now compared with even the 80s when it was word of mouth or time spent in the Public Library thumbing through trade directories followed by numerous phone calls – some still via the operator!

Hi stuart, if your manual is in better quality than the allotment-garden site, I’m interrested! how we can do that?

[vhgmcbuddy]

thanks trusty 220 do you know of any risk to members logged in?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Yes if you have no luck with those links i will do you a photocopy of the standard Titan owners manual which includes the spare parts list.It does not however include the Briggs engine parts as this would be in a seperate manual.

Nice – mine had no cable either but it should do. What’s your plan are you going to work on it or are you in the market for an offer for it all?

Here are some photos of my Barford Atom and Trailer
I have a plough and other bits that go with it
I bought it with the intention of restoring it but haven’t got going with it.
I haven’t had the engine running but now I have got it out and hitched up the trailer for the first time it has inspired me to get on with it.
There is no throttle cable on the machine and it never looks as if there’s never been one is that correct?

Yes, all fluids were topped up before it was used.

Keep your tyres dark and in a damp place, not wet. A cellar is a good place or somewhere similar.
