Looking good, I see you always hide from the camera and put your stunt double in . Looks like it makes a huge difference, i guess the rotovator has three times as long to work the ground. did you stay in first gear? Cheers John Oh How did the locking bracket turn out?

So at long last the planters were delivered today, only had enough time to take them off the pallet and get a quick photo to show the drive wheel that turns the bit that drops the potatoes.

10 out of 10 for your lad, he is correct it is the park brake although I havent ever been into a transmission so I dont know what it actually brakes. Do you have the Gutbrod bug now Duncan? Is it going to be another amazing restoration? Cheers John

Just glad I could help out Duncan

If its the Same as the Elf I have mine is under the dynostarter John

Hi Harry, That's a nice looking 1030. Regarding leaving as is or restoring there is no right answer, personally I like the fact it still has the Allen of Oxford transfers and some character If it starts and runs ok could it be that the charging circuit has a fault? I see the horn has found its way to the battery tray and the battery leads now run to the back of the tractor, is there a tray to fit on the tow hitch for the battery or something? Cheers John

Yes there is a wheel to drive it but its had a few parts removed to get it ready for shipping. Once I get it home I will post some pictures of the complete planter.

Yes if all goes to plan we will see you there George. I am sure I can fab up some brackets to make it fit even if they are not quite to the original design. Is it a working day or just for display purposes?

Has anyone got any pictures or information on how to attach the potato or veg planters to a Gutbrod? I have just bought a potato planter but I am not sure how to connect it up. The planter isnt home yet but should be in about a weeks time. I know you use the standard tool frame like this (without the grubber) And there are brackets which I dont have The center bracket looks like it will couple the planter to the tool frame but I am not sure what the other two are. I was thinking lift arm extensions but I think the planter will be heavy hanging that far behind the tractor. Any thoughts?

Looking good George, here are the parts drawings showing the linkage etc

Like this?

Looks good George, nice tidy job. Also good that the Gutbrod rotovator isn't pulling the grass back to the top, time to get mine sorted and put it to use
