Thank you once again Geoff. The pictures are very helpful. I wondered what the slots were for in the fan cowling!!

Also noticed the different (i.e. webbed) reduction gear housings on your example. Is that something to do with the longer axles?

Cheers,

Sean

have not got mine yet?

Thanks Alan, its definitely 26. Its an amazing coincidence that I bought 3 of these engines then about 2 weeks later I bought an unknown rotavater that turns out to be a Landmaster L150 without an engine. Would the engine have been fitted yellow or does the colour show it should have been fitted to something else. Also when was the L150 1st made.

Yes indeed, I mentionned the Gravely as an exemple and no more!
I wish you a nice week end

Alan, I have found an engine number, stamped on the crankcase under the carb. 16HE then underneath 8869 26. Any chance of finding out what it is off please

I haven’t recieved mine yet, but also I haven’t recieved my insurance card etc either, I accept I joined late this year.

I’ve received the Cultivator and read it carefully and I enjoyed it!
Acording to the minutes I discovered that we, foreigners, will not receive anymore the print issues of the mag, but through internet. It’s a really great idea, because I already read all the old issues through the computer and it’s easy to read. If I need a special part of them, I can print. So I agree with this
About that: how many strangers are members? how many french people?
The pics of the mag are beautiful and I wish I were in Malvern: it seems to be a great meeting
best regards from France

Any gaskets required you will have to make yourself.
Bearings and seals can be obtained from your local bearing supplier.
The Brockhouse engine uses a strange governor assembly (theres at least 2 slightly different types used depending on engine serial number) located in its own housing.The fibre “weights” will no doubt be rather worn.I had to make a pair of these for my engine.

Glad to see you have your better half involved Ivan, top job Sandra !!

Got mine today, proper job mr ‘aggle !!

Thanks Geoff, that clears up the throttle control. As you haven’t mentioned whether the twist grip is sprung, I will assume it isn’t.

One last question. I have a few photo’s of your Norton engined Trusty, but they all show the left hand side. Do you have any pictures showing the right hand side, particularly how the throttle rod which runs down the inside of the handlebar tube is connected to the Amal 225 carburetor. My tractor is completely missing the entire throttle control system, so I will be getting new items manufactured. It will make life a lot easier if I have something to base the new bits on.

I have the same problem mine is a model T No. 21178 with the Villiers 11c 2 stroke engine.

Any ideas please.
