I have dropped a clutch spring from the albion gearbox. Anyone know where I can get a replacement?
The Bonser is a workhorse for me and I need the spare gearbox

Good point that Charlie and thanks. Now the engine weighs 450 kgs and the crusher weighs in at 200 kgs. the crusher is 1ft rear of the back axel and the engine is at the front of the trailer. I thought about weight transfer on the length of the trailer and two thirds should be on tow hich end and a third rear of back axel. so we are nearly there. I realise about the concern over the height of the engine in relation to the trailer floor and will proceed with caution. thanks again for this queery.

One of the best ways from the old furum is half fill it with fuel add a length of chain and shake well drain and do it again, if there any hole about to appear this will bring them forward.

Hi Charlie ,
Split the gear cases today and drew the gear of the shaft . I had a poke about to check for other damage but up to now not found any .
What is unusual is the chain cases are made of wood but look a very good job so could they be original ?
So up to now I need a gear , the gear change crank lever and a set of bearings and oil seal for the clutch shaft , I don’t half pick em .
I managed to free off the seized rotorvator.
I only got photo of damaged gear will try and get you some more . Swampy .

Electrolysis is an option. A little bit more tricky than dunking it in a tank of electrolyte to remove external rust as one electrode has to be inserted through the filler orifice with a sleeve to prevent contact with the metal tank. You then fill the fuel tank with electrolyte, connect up to the power source and leave it to cook.
All the rust will then migrate from the tank walls and be collected on the electrode.

Are the jalo discs rare as this is the first set i have seen in the flesh ??

Thanks for the info. Yes, I fitted one of those magnetron kits to a 1976 3Hp on a Wizard Rotavator. Starts easily and no worries about points wearing out.
Have been in touch with Graham at Briggsbits who has advised which one to go for.

such a nice guy Owen maybe he will get over it and ask if there is anything else I would like ?????? Somehow I cannot see it.i do feel sorry for him never the less.

Looks a smart outfit now John, I recon that nice chap might take a detour in the future.

Dispite snowy showers have battled against the elements to mount the engine and crusher.Not an easy task to do on your own,but a chap was passing by on his bike and I flagged him down. He asked what was the matter,i said if he was physicaly able could he help me on with the crusher. He was more than glad to help at first but by the end of the exercise he was that exhausted ,he pushed the bike home. Nice chap though wont ask him again as he may decline after this one.
