Recently a chap made contact with me saying he had a Ransomes skimmer chassis and that he had cut off and sold the discharge conveyor and front auger just 3 months ago, he was sure that the guy he sold them to had not done anything with them yet so I asked him to contact him, after a few weeks the parts were returned back to his yard, a deal has been done and hopefully the gearboxes are there just waiting for pictures of them before I commit to anything. To be honest I cant wait to get it and weld it back together !! Apologies Jonathan for hi jacking the thread.

It wood, and it wood look good with a load of wood for Pam's wood store before the wood gets burned in the wood burner, then Chris can use the wood store for red bits which he wood have done before Pam threatened him with a lump of 4x2 wood. Time to head for the woods to now.

I recently purchased a quantity of new spares and as part of the arrangement had to take the tractor. This is a very good MG6 serial number 12304 circa 1957 which does not appear to have seen much work. Fitted with a Ransomes 600cc petrol engine and standard 3 speed gearbox with the optional PTO and Hydraulic rear lift. The lift cylinder is the large version and all works well. The Amal 356/1 carburettor has been serviced and the magneto overhauled. Compression was low so valves have been lapped in and bore is on standard size. Engine starts and runs very sweet. Tracks are exceptional as are the drive wheels and weight carrying rollers. Ideal as a working machine or for ploughing matches. Looking for £1500

Hope the wheels are 'bearing' up after being blasted, Frame looks almost 'red-y' for a topcoat!

Well done Rhys, a great find.

Take it that was a no from the Management then

A couple pics of some stuff I've dragged out the brambles for another years work, barford atom shredded its drive belt today, and the land masters running like an asmatic mouse, but when is anything ever easy, the bantam however is running like a clock, but then I would expect it to with its nearly new engine!

Wood that trailer carry wood when it's got it's wood sides on

Disco passed it's m.o.t. this morning. And no advisories for the second year running.

Good news Norm! For for another year!

I pulled the carb off, put in the ultra-sonic for ten mins. New diaphragm and gaskets, job done its running again. A new carb was £50 plus vat ? So I am happy. Regards Colin

reminds me of my quadractor you steered that with your feet even though it had a steering wheel, it was an animal to drive
