I’ve been rummaging around in the shed trying to ID various sprayers. Discovered this that I’d forgotten I had. It’s a Cooper Peglar ‘Lancet’ with original box. I also have another identical one (no box) – they came all together as a bundle. I also have another sprayer very, very similar but not quite the same – but probably close enough to be an earlier/later version of the same model(?). They all have a wooden grip and a red plastic one and are otherwise of similar type to the Solo Sprayers that are still available today to buy new.

Changed the condenser day before yesterday and as a precaution I took charlies advice and changed the coil as well and she has never started so well in the 10 years I have had her,after about 3 start and stops just to make sure everything was right she started bucking back half way through the rope pull (nearly pulled my arm off, it was a good idea to use the rope pull and not the drill as I was previously, could of been nasty ) turned out the flywheel had slipped so she was trying to fire at the wrong time so after a retime and a tighten up everything is good and she starts almost immediately you start pulling.

What a good copy of the cultivator this is, I think the colour pictures really set it off,I particularly liked the piece on the Farmers Boy Walk Behind Plough I learned more in that piece than I’ve been able to find anywhere on the net,just goes to show how much knowledge there is on this site,if anybody has any manuals for the Farmers Boy I would appreciate a copy,I have a parts list but no manuals,they are so elusive as are a lot of the lesser known brands I suppose,anyway as I said brilliant copy long may it last.

That’s a nice looking outfit. What age and what engine does it have.

Hello everybody
I’ve received the Cultivator and I preciated very much the article about Howard. I like thes articles which help to discover the “makers”!

We managed to get to the field today via an old David Brown Sellectomatic,As I am here the storm is raging yet again!I reckon Charlie if I get the wind surf out,I should be passing you in 10 minutes past your house!
The hay got ruined yesterday for the ponies, so need to go hunting for more tomorrow,its just never ending!
The only thing left to do is pull out the comfort food and drown it with some of the best wine from our own cellars and of course with some good strong cheddar cheese.
Then pick more of the bits up tomorrow
Regards to all.
Andrew

I got my copy today as well. I think the use of full colour throughout is a real improvement, it really helps to lift the whole feel of the magazine. Definitely worth any slight increase in the printing costs.
It’s good to see some of the talked about improvements to the forum get mentioned, hopefully we will get to see some of these rolled out in the near future.

Good to hear from you Darren.
My modest stable has cost on average £25 to restore over the past two years plus £10 to £20 to buy as scrappers. Have sold two at a modest profit but won’t make a millionaire at this rate.
I shall take some pics of the last two, both 17″ Atcos (1961 and 1965 models) and post them on the site when the weather picks up. Obviously at those prices they are nowhere as professional as your restorations but they keep me occupied out of the way of the wife.
Keep up the good work,
Best Wishes, Keith
