The orange one looks very similar to this Mayfield one currently being offered on a certain selling site.

Thanks for this Trusty220, I will take the wheel off and have a look.
If the threads on the wheel are stripped (which I suspect is the case) – What is the fix for that?

I have the book but it doesn’t mention the Villiers mk 10 which is 98cc. Only the 120cc mk 12 introduced in 1959 and discontinued in 1960.

We also uncovered this Coleby with a push plough.

I haven’t a clue what engine is on it, it looks as though it’s had a sticker on it though.

I was wondering the same thing.
Is it possible to date the machine ?
Is a list of models available ?
Does anyone have information on the history of the Raven Engineering Co ?

Regards

Re-assembled the clutch today having collected all the parts needed, including new bushes, split pins, copper washer, springs and shoes are re-lined.
Fitted the re-built clutch, fired up the Douglas engine on the Trusty and it worked like a dream.
Now want to turn my attention to the wheels as one has two bolts missing and I’m sure I remember somone mentioning the need for felt washers…….?

Thanks for the leaflet. It shows engine options of b&s or Villiers mk12 but mine has a mk 10, could have been replaced I suppose.

Thanks Charlie – Your advice is good as ever. Very smart Simar, I do like the look of those machines. Being quite new to restorations I am starting small with a mk1 clifford, though I do have a Trusty on the go too and am collecting my re-lined clutch shoes for that tomorrow!

Good buys mate, the edger is an Andrews P.E.T. (Petrol Edge Trimmer) I have copied the small brochure I have and it will be in the post to you on Monday

Try Paul Coles? I think he is a member but not sure what name he goes by, but does have a Facebook page called The Clifford Register

Thank you – This is starting to make sense and yes wristpin, I did mean crankshaft! (I was still in Trusty mode – working on both at the moment). Thanks for the link.
Stuart, your explanation is very clear. I did have a fiddle before reading your post and managed to get some sort of spark, so must be getting close. I will now re-examine the settings to make sure I got it right.
