Here are my Gutbrods out together  I am getting them ready for an other season I hope you like 1032 1030 1032

Here it is ploughing rotovating  raking in grass seedI hope you like my hydraulics are working well

:hyper:

The pics of the mid fifties were taken in the Scottish borders area near Carlisle hope this helps

Hi Patrick if it is a bing carburetor check the float it may be filled with petrol causing the float to sink and cause flooding Leave the petrol in float fill a tray with very hot water, submerse the float  in the water hold it down .

if there is petrol in the float is will come out like a little stream of bubbles mark where it comes out and lightly solder it hope this helps

Hi Stormin

I think it was made round so that it did not snag on bushes ,trees,shrubs and plants This only my thoughts on the matter but I could be wrong,   bearing in mind it was made for allotments and gardens

From George S

Here is my latest purchase a merry tiller load carrier will come in handy it is on my merry tiller with twin wheels and modern engine but fits my four other merry tillers hope you like

At last my hydraulics are working ,not straight forward as I would have liked,it pays to have a diagram but good experience .This is it on trial at the caravan park in Tayport

When you catch one tree and stall the tractor  you do not do it again as it is a handle start   Thanks

Here is Kermit working for a living and a wee Kermit

Ian you can sit on it and drive ,turn the handles and and looks as if you are pushing but it is under power  as mine is driven with a Titan with reverse gear you have lots of options these are photos of me sitting and driving the truck

I hope you like

This is Kermit working in the woods getting ready for grass seed seems funny with upright exaust

Plow or Plough it does not matter But as in life try and keep a straight furrow Good luck

These are some of the implements that I bought with Kermit also my young brother using my 1032 to plough at the caravan park I hope you like :hdance:

Nice ploughing Rolloman has a David Bradley that he shipped over from the States he ploughs with it as well  keep up the good work

Managed to get Kermit on you tube under

Kermit live 2014 hope you find it

I have managed to put video of Kermit on Facebook I hope you like

Kermit started life in Wales in 1959 Had an engine transplant 1961 Bought by someone in the Kidderminster area I bought it and two ploughs rear toolbar with furrow ploughs and front furrow ploughs

It is fitted with a C45 Norton Villiers engine it is certainly different  sounds well

Suggest trying the Ransom plooman or Rolloman

The truck was bought from  Gordon Smiths estate He died in 2012 I am restoring it in his memory This is my first attempt at restoration thanks to Rollomans help it turned out OK

Gordon was a fellow enthusiast I know he will looking down

I am almost there with my truck  and engine. bought rare brake unit of fleabay was not straight forward but managed to get it to work

One more day and it will be together for the show season. I hope you like

The small wheels are not painted as they will not be on the unit when the engine is fitted to the truck
