Hi all. I'm new to this site so I hope someone can help. I've recently acquired a Martin Markham Colt Deluxe. My intention is to restore it. I know very little about it and wondered how I find out about it's history? I'd also like to know what the original blue colour was and where I can get hold of an owners manual and spare parts please? It has a Kohler engine and despite standing outside for about 15 years I have managed to get it running! However, I also need so new parts for this as well. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks

Welcome to MOM. I have both the colt and the colt deluxe. Finding the gears sometimes is a bit all over the place and there is Hi and low range for the colt deluxe version. I myself don’t have any spare parts for them unfortunately however I do have manuals and the original factory parts diagrams should you need any information. Harry

Thank you all for your help. I did attend the Biddenden TractorFest in Kent hoping to meet someone who had one but without luck. I'll post some pictures another time. I have had it running but couldn't find reverse! Anyone know where it is? High and low range worked ok. Is it possible to get an owners manual? The steering box is broken, are parts available anywhere or do I have to get them made? Thanks again for your quick response.

Mines having the gearbox rebuilt (eventually) it does seem to be a weak point although they are strong little machines. The colour is very similar to the old Hammerite blue, parts for the engine are ok to get from the US, any body panels will be like rocking horse poo. Good luck with yours.

Contact Harry or Paul mackellow they both have one, they normally have problems With gear boxes how’s yours ?

for some people eating anything is bad for the inviroment because it keeps them alive

Some people have nothing better to do. But I suppose it's better than working for a living.
