Martin Markham Colt help

Recommended Posts

Hi, i'll get some pictures up shortly, I have a friend who has a Martin Markham in pieces. The previous owner took it to bits and now my friend is trying to put it back together but it needs some transmission work etc. Does anyone know if they had manuals with exploded diagrams on? Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks Ewan

Is it a colt or a colt deluxe as they would be slightly different. The colt deluxe is 10hp and has hi and low range, as compared to the colt which is only 7hp and no hi and low. I have an original manual for one with some details in, if you need pictures of that or the tractor let me know. However I have not taken one apart unlike Paul.

The gearbox is in bits waiting for a new second gear, Mr Denness (whoever he is) did the spanner work on it...

 

As Harry says the 7hp has only three speeds, the 10hp has three and a high/low box

@pmackellow do you know what colour it should've been originally.

 

As you can see its in a sorry state but he is hoping to put it back together for his friend. It was his friends dad who took it apart many years ago and his son would now like to reassemble it.

That's a Meccano kit if ever I saw one !

 

I have got another back end for a 10hp which will be up for sale soon (as will the tractor when the gearbox is sorted)

 

 

Definitely a puzzle and they are both clueless with this tractor as am I!

Nearest I can see is the old Hammerite metallic light blue colour...

Not sure on this, but I think it it cou;d be a colt deluxe as has electric start, not sure if that was an option for the colt.

hmm maybe Paul can shed some light.

:thumbs: I guess the red is from someone painting it. The greyish colour could have been a primer but who knows.

I think the colour is the least of his worries.

 

Yup I was just intrigued. He could really do with a manual but i'm not sure whether they made an in depth one.

Harry, does the manual have any exploded views or images that may help him with the reassembly. Thanks

I have just had a look at the manual, it is quite basic and there are no diagrams of the transmission, it only tells me a few details about the speeds and fluids.

Thanks for having a look, I don't know what he's going to do.

Copies done Ewan, I'll give you them at Mr Websters show on Sunday :thumbs:

 

 

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend as I am still at university and have an exam on the Thursday but I will be at Newby hall on the Friday as will my friend so if you could give them to me then that would be awesome!

 

Really appreciate it Paul :tthankyou:
