Hi all, I would like to test the waters regarding the Ransomes MG2 Flywheel. I am aerospace design engineer by trade and run a small engineering company in the UK with several CNC machines. Although I am an MG5 owner, it has come to my attention that the MG2 flywheel is prone to failure. Neil Jarret has kindly posted me one to inspect, and with his knowledge I am pleased to say that we have an accurate 3D CAD model and engineering technical drawing. I am therefore proposing running a small batch of these, however, before I do so I would like to gauge the level of interest & commitment from the market place. The last thing I want is shelf full of MG2 flywheels on my hands for years to come. So, if you are interested, then please post or comment below. I will then take your details and add you to the list to effectively 'reserve' one for you. Flywheels will be manufactured from EN8 Steel and Clear Zinc Passivated. Price: £194.95 each. All items are manufactured in the United Kingdom.

Finally got around to getting the "Roper 38" tiller working, modified the hitch pickup mountings to match the 3 point on my C121. My 3 point was originally going to be hydraulic, but getting the geometry right without the whole lot hanging too far back was awkward, due to the under seat fuel tank. So I used a winch instead. This is rated at 2000 lbs with a " snatch block " pulley mounted on the lift arm cross brace, the tiller weighs around 250lbs. I've taken a few photos, but only after everything was fitted.

I was wondering about how you'd fit towing attachments. Wonder what the bottom pin was for. Neat!

Hey Doug, good to have you back - nice work! Sorry to hear you've been having a rough time

Very tidy. Be interesting to see how the soil look after you have rotovated it.

Hi Doug nice engineering there 👍🏻

Followed the guide above but used a piece of feeler gauge instead of floss. Everything slides right in. Held my breathe when the spring dropped down and hit the arm. Might attempt to make a spare spring out of the 0.003" feeler. Happy days!
