When I read this I was reminded of the Ford Classic and Capri (Mk1) cars which had a 1340cc engine bored out from the 1200 Cortina unit. They broke crankshafts as well! We had a Classic that did it!

I’ve been passed this query by Charlie and I’ve put it in the Cultivator with a couple of photo’s I took at various places, I hope we’ll get some replies. There is a club for these machines called The Light Industrial Truck Club and they always meet at the Gloucestershire Steam Extravaganza Show in August at South Cerney. Trucks based on cultivators are also welcome!

I have to lighten the photo’s more, they come out a lot darker in print than they appear on screen.

I’ve got one, mine’s a Mysto, you fill the body with weedkiller and inject it into the soil next to weed. It will deliver a dose of weedkiller sufficient to kill the plant.

Blimey, we get a few down Yesterday’s Farming, shame the date clashes, but that’s a good entry, better get a drone up for the group photo!

Darren Portsmouth has a couple of Farmers Boys, which he shows. The only way to tell the date is if yours has a Briggs & Stratton engine, they are all dated to the day! If it has a Villiers engine take the starter pulley off and there will be a date stamped into the brass flywheel. JAP engines have a year letter as part of the engine number….
