Sounds like coil or condenser breaking down.

Thanks Guys, Not a great day, spent most of it out in Norfolk calibrating and repairing gritters, got home late, tired with a headache, and went straight to bed. Still, out for a birthday meal on Sunday

These are the boards that were with the tractor.

A few photos from last weekend. .

Many Happy Returns Richard, hope you got everythng you wanted :thumbs:

More likely I would have been arrested and the spikes confiscated as offensive weapons! When you've worn yours out Chris, give me a call, I'm sure I wont have used all of these up by then :D

Got harrows coming out of my ears Norm, I bought a brand new set of three a year or so ago for , I think £80.00p. I may use the large 'duck foot' tines to build a small cultivator though. I would like to have a go at building a 'Wheelhorse' size version of the 'Vicon' style reciprocating power harrow with it's own engine. at least I've now got enough spikes to do it. p.s. The thing that spoilt the day was, I couldn't claim the 20p VAT back !

Not really foraging, but, went to the machinery sale Monday, saw this lot which didn't make the reserve, I bought it afterwards for the reserve + vat, total £1.20p five boxes of harrow points, Don't know what I'll do with them though.

Many happy returns Nigel :thumbs: I hope I look as good when I reach your age Was your new truck your birthday present ? Doug.

Red Mist ? does this mean Ian will attain such speeds that the paint will peel off :o Looking great Ian :thumbs:

What PCD are the wheels Norm, I used JD mower deck spindles for my C121 front hubs. I'm sure I have some more, I think the pcd of these is around 100mm / 4" the bearing size is 3/4" so they go straight on. You can alter the track by just turning them round. if you want to try them, PM me and I'll send you a couple. Doug

Regarding a bit of play on hubs / shafts, if you have a decent lathe you could try 'knurling' the shaft to slightly increase it's diameter and also the rough finish gives a bit more grip. I used to do this to piston skirts on the old British bikes to cut down on piston slap ( 40 years ago ) when they were a bit worn.

I believe all these exhibitors are members of the 'Starting Handle Club' All photos were taken in their enclosure, dozens of stationary engines and bigger tractors also.

1989 Marshall C12, according to the sheet on the exhibit.

A few pics from a VERY HOT showground. :wub:
