Just finished this one for my son. Cool little tractors.

Hi, my latest purchase from that well known internet auction site, a 1971 Merry Tiller Titan, the type with internal gears giving 2 forward and 1 reverse speeds, doubled up with the 2 pulley sizes. It had been stood for several years under a sheet but with a clean of the points, a new carb diaphragm and freeing off a stuck exhaust valve it fired up and sounds very good.

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

While at the Ardigley show last year my GT14 died on the way into the parade ring & I had to get towed round the ring then back to the exhibit area.
Thinking it was something serious ,I didn't want to delve into the tractor until I got her home. At the end of a gloriously hot weekend & a great show she was pushed back onto the trailer & headed back to Somerset.
After being unloaded at home I didn't have the heart to see what the problem was as I feared it was going to heartbreaking news . She has sat quietly ow for nearly ten months waiting for me to build up the courage to see what the problem was., I pushed her out onto the lawn & charged the battery for an hour then armed with spinners I decided to go for it.
Right, I will just start by trying to turn her over to get any idea of what might be the issue.
Turned key, vroooooooom , she stated first time ,,,that's odd... I started to look her over then looked down by the fuel tank & noticed that the fuel tap had wound himself shut by vibration.
As you can imagine I was delighted that it was nothing serious , so instead of spending hours trying to sort out a problem I spent the time getting reacquainted an gave her some TLC.
So now I know to get into the habit of turning fuel tap on & off after each use.
Here a a few pics after the TLC

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