Thank you for the download manual Anglo Traction, your a star. The more I go on this club/ site the more I like it. A credit to all people involved. Paul

Had a go at the engine today and it is running, took a while mind you so touch wood all ok now. Time to strip the rest down and try and find out some history on it. It has a fox of bishops Waltham dealer sticker on it and they are 5-6 miles away from me so I will see if they can shed some light on it. Paul

Hi All, Having a bit of a clearout. I have a cutting cylinder +rear roller off the mower and the handlebars also the brass front roller adjusters If anybody wants them they are FREE to anybody on here if you collect or arrange for them to be picked up. Paul

Heres some pics of the maker. Paul

Hi All. Good news. I spoke to john at the mower centre hailsham and described the problem to him. He told me to look at the underneath of the coil to see if it had a brass plate and does it have a lug at the top (IT HAS BOTH) the lug is the stop switch and the brass plate is the electronic ignition. Cleaned all the rust off the flywheel and reset the armature then wound it over with a drill and it has a lovely spark. Will see if it runs tomorrow. Thanks for everybodys help, I will put some pics up tomorrow for you Mr Mackellow but pretty sure the badge says little wonder patent Southampton and somewhere in America will look tomorrow. THANKS AGAIN ALL Paul

Thankyou. I will see about elec ignition as that's what I think has happened as there is no evidence of points and condenser. Paul

Hi All, having a bit of a problem, I have a little lawn edger with a 3hp Briggs and Stratton engine on which wouldn't go so went to try the common things as the points and found there wasn't any neither a condenser, the coil is there with a lug on it which goes to the throttle so presume its a stop switch. When looking further I found out that the engine had no hole for the peg that holds the points arm spring on also no hole or plunger to operate the points. So cant figure out how it worked ? was it electronic? Hope someone can help. The engine numbers are 80232-2222-01-88060803

Got this cultivator today, don't know who its made by yet (haven't hunted around it for makers name) but found some Bamfords spanners with it. It has come from the same farm as my president so hopefully I will restore it and the president can pull it. Paul

Hi All, Body work finished now, just got to get decals from Titch. Paul

Hi no hurry but I will be looking for implements to put on my president. Paul

That's a great little engine. Worth a fortune to the right person but even more to you as sentimentle value. Paul

I have just looked at some paperwork I have and the point gap is saying what you thought 0.020 and the plug 0.030. So I would say you have a good memory. Paul

Hi all. I have spoken to various people and most say the same, either freeze the guides to shrink them or heat the block to expand it. I have also spoke to the company that are sorting out my crankshaft and they can do them with a special tool they have, so best left to the experts I think. Paul

Hi all, I am just getting round to putting the valve guides into the block. Have they got to be pressed in or can they be hammered in? I presume if you hammer them in they might splay out as it isn't constant pressure as the press would be. Any advise would be great as I don't want to break anything. Paul

Hi Neil and others, I grow a lot to feed my family of five and also give some to parents and brothers and sisters. There is a lot of them. paul

Have sown some veggies today. carrots, spring onions, lettuce, beetroot, French beans, broad beans and put the canes up ready for the runner beans. Still got to put new potatoes in as well. Paul

Hi. The picture is with the handles fully raised. I lower them and offset them so i walk to the side.

Hi All Just another picture. My titan has been earning its keep today. It rotovated my veggie plot then rolled the lawn. Paul

I remember not so long ago, a apprentice at work thought he new it all and was using a thin cutting disc for mild steel to cut aluminium. He was advised not to do it but learnt the hard way, it exploded and stuck in his leg. As all us welder/fabricators know or the posh title that confuses everyone Fusion technicians. Aluminium will clog the disc up then shatter. Paul

HI ALL just some more pics. I have sorted all the wheels and tyres out now, just need to put the wheel weights back on the front, hydraulics sorted out but think I might have to replace the seals(will see when up and running). Even the dog likes it as a sun hat Paul

Thanks for that matt, now you say it it, I do recall Titch saying he was moving house but couldn't remember when. As for my old girl, I am hope'ing to get my final back wheel painted and the new tyre put on this weekend. Looking at the weather though I don't hold much hope so it will be a case of going in the nice warm shed and sorting the engine out. Nice to see some more of these reds on here as well. Paul

Have been wondering where titch is. I thought he would have some input. I have also been on his site but no response. Does anybody know if hes ill?

Hi. Yes shes coming on. I have cleaned up,painted and put one of the new back tyres on today. Also put the 3-point linkage back on, will hopefully start the other rear wheel tomorrow if the weathers nice. Paul

Hi Shes coming on now. Paul

Hi There I have a allen scythe but have never seen one of them, It looks more dangerous than the scythe itself. How does it work?
