I do hear tonight, that a certain Eagle has landed in Edinburgh, and that the custodian is like a dog with two tails!
Kind regards

Yes, I was aware of that after I posted, I am not sure how to do private messages & my brain is starting to fog up @ 74 ?
Any help would be appreciated, I’ve been in contact with peter and hopefully, we can meet up soon and sort out our Horticultural problems. Ian

You don’t need to remove the wheel and getting the gib key out could be a whole lot of unnecessary hassle.
Just remove the guard and clean up the clutch mechanism there is not a lot that can go wrong with the actual dog clutch inside the gearbox.

To get the flywheel off you just undo the centre bolt and keep undoing it – pop.
Don’t break the flywheel fins.

I am near Inverurie, got a Gem with a JAP engine and a 350 with a Kohler, both good machines.

it is very true Geoff there is plenty that complain or suggest something but ask them to DO it is totally different. When Chris Youngman organised with the Fergie club a working weekend in Northumberland before covid the only ones to turn up were our gang of three but the number of moaners was outstanding

Well just as I thought not many ploughmen in the vhgmc all your comments are welcome these are my thoughts after another season ends, I feel something needs to be done as I observed the matches posted on social media and in the press in particular Sundays match at Sherwood forest a national qualifier always a good entry of people trying to qualify I know the weather was awful and may have kept some people away but 8 participants 5 compact tractors and three trusties and looking at other matches the trend is similar just needs some guidelines to keep the size of tractor down.
thank goodness Newman, Kendal, David Brown 2D, Byron, President, OTA, Singer Monarch and Kent Pony. are very large tractors but rarely seen ploughing in fact most are totally unsuitable for single furrow ploughing as the wheel base is to wide. so to conclude I know the SOP set the rules and that’s where this will have to be addressed,
we move on thank you everyone for your thoughts

Halfords and Amazon both sell selection boxes of springs. There is bound to be one in there that you could use.

More faith in “selection boxes” that I have. I dare not admit to how many springs I got through trying to find two springs for the centrifugal clutch on a Anzani Powermow.
Please Mr OP tell us what spring you need / where it lives on the machine.

Thank you Neil, appreciate the advice. In two minds now as to whether to bother, as the main reason for doing it was to take off the drive wheel to soak it and free up the rollers which were all seized solid. But in the end a lot of blowtorch and tapping got them all free. On the other hand it would be good to check everything over while I have the tracks off to rebuild them, so suppose I should just bite the bullet!

Ps not quite sure what came over me but just acquired another MG5, so will be in touch soon with another shopping list I expect.
