More photos... including more Transit ones just for Norm

Last weekend we organised a Horticultural display at the Ardingly Smallholders Show in West Sussex. This is our O&R display at the show, the whole collection apart from the Allman wheeled sprayer...

Baking hot but very enjoyable weekend at the Ardingly Smallholders Show in West Sussex. Good support in the Horticultural display and some nice machines on show, many thanks to all who contributed. Here's some photos...

Its not very often you can say the earth shook when you're retired!

Setting up those clutches is a bit of a black art. In the 80s the roving Hayter Service man used to have an Osprey / 21 axle assembly set up on the bench in his high top van and ran an impromptu service course on site. There should be a thick friction lining bonded to the large sprocket. I believe these are still available from an aftermarket supplier of friction materials. However, from your image, it appears that there is a lot more to be done. Looking at the relationship between the bush and the axle it appears that one or the other - or both, are badly worn. I think that a complete strip and assessment of the axle is required. https://www.dropbox.com/s/i5ys5rh1mdtrwc4/Hayter 21%2C Ospey Clutch adjustment0001.pdf?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/a2gbo2quuaymiea/Hayter Osprey and 21 0001.pdf?dl=0

It's a bodge Ray. Have a look through this Thread for pics of what it should look like OSPREY. I've sent you a copy of the Manual which should cover it (via PM) As for the link in the chain, I think I see it arrowed here - Open end is usually on the trailing side of rotation . You'll probably need to obtain and bond new friction pads onto the Toothed Clutch Plate. A link to the people I've used in the past if it helps- Friction . Bonding them well requires scrupulous cleaning and a good bonding resin like Araldite Original ( NOT the 5 min stuff). I'm sure Wristpin, Nigel and others will offer more experienced options and advice on that and the machine. Edit in RED

I took my Morris 1000 van to the rally today; the heat was immense. There was only one garden tractor, a Case 222. I took some photos of classic LCVs and Series Land Rovers as that's is what I am interested in.

Toadys Dirty Dog... make of that what you will

Good photos Paul, thanks for loading them

Great Photos Andrew, I'd take any of them.

Great pics, thanks. Noticed there is also a trend of creating 105E Pickups (Anglias). White Minivan reminds me of my first car.

Yes Norm, on Thurs 5th Jul, I believe that was the last known one and of the greatest magnitude. Unusual around here, At least the Wine n Spirit store is intact

Yesterday Dad was working on the 1054 engine so I did some maintenance and cleaning on the 1962 Ride-a-matic. It cleans up well.

The blue Series One was discovered in a overgrown hedge somewhere in Devon. A flail mounted on a tractor struck the landrover and upon investigation the old girl was discovered and rescue. Apparently it runs and drives ok and was in fact driven off the trailer in the camping area and driven to the show site some 1/3 of a mile. Awesome! I loved the design consideration on those vans. The doors are deliberately angled to take in the weight of a load van so when opening the door against a kerbstone , the door would not scrap against the pavement.

I have electronic copies of the 850 parts manual and wiring diagram, also a service manual which covers this model. Drop me a PM if you want a copies. Iain
