Looks like you’ve got a special or prototype there, mind you Australian ones were a bit different. Since Villiers engines were made in Australia as well as here Howard may have used a home grown engine to power the 700….
I’ve attached some detail pictures of Ricky-Lee Mapes 700 at Weeley this year.

The JAP Carb was used on wartime military generators (Charging Set No 5) I used to own one, so your Trusty may well be wartime, I don’t know how long JAP’s continued to use that carb before switching to the Zenith. The Zenith carb coped better with the changing levels encountered when used in a mobile situation.

I’ll put it in the February Issue of the Cultivator, can you email me one at
cultivator-editor@outlook.com, please? It can go in a section called hedgerow Tractors, although that title may have been used before in another well known tractor publication!
