Me next in line please

You shouldn't need a puller for the fly wheel, if you knock the recoil but off, then put a pry bar underneath the flywheel and give it a shock with a hammer it should come off.

Also a big thank you for Titch at Machinery decals for doing a superb job

Another update, virtually finished now apart from the seat but looks good as it is to be honest. Here's a few pictures 

A very good show overall, organized well by Chris. I really enjoyed the day with meeting everybody and I am sure I can bring some along for next year. Thanks to the other Chris for letting me drive the Mg40, another thing to put on the list .

I will be going on Sunday, not taking anything though but can meet you all for the first time.

Mine is a 1969 model I think, the only year this model was made? It was orange when I got it and it was the original paint

Thanks for that, I shouldn't need any parts for now, it's a lovely little tractor and its tiny!

Update on it, I have nearby completed the restoration just need the seat, I am pleased with how it turned out!

Here are a few photos

It's time for some digging then

It's the front one, I can't seem to upload pictures, if you,have an email I can send them there or it is now on eBay 

I have a NOS Wheelhorse attach a matic for sale, I just though I would let you know before I put it up on that auction site.

Colt Tractors probably, the machines were said to be made by Colt Tractors and marketed by Martin Markham.

 

Ok, but so,e have a number on, is that for the deluxe model. Is there any way I can date it?

I have recently tried to find the chassis number but instead I found a marking on it of CT, does anybody know what this could mean?

I have just bought another tractor to add to the fleet. It is a Martin Markham Colt tractor with the optional pto and hydraulic lift included. I have the original cultivator and plough to go with it as well. The previous owner had had it from new so is one owner! He also said he had probably done less than 50hours work which is remarkable, it has the original rear tyres and they look brand new. The only problem it has really is the hydraulic lift will not lower once it is up.

i would upload pictures but I can seem to upload them.

Chris told me a while back Harry! 

 

You got it for a fantastic price too soi hear.

Correct, I thought it was a good price for a bit of TV history, have now found out that it is Citroen 2cv engine in it.

can you remember this, bearing in mind it was before i was born and i am 15? sorry but cant get the picture the right way round

So, I managed to get the engine going today with some help from Chris. Cleaned the difficult to reach points and away she went. The engine runs very well, however the recoil is broken and it also needs an air filter assembly. It is a 130905 model, I have had a look online but can't really find anything in the UK

Thanks

Looks really really good Ewan, a work of art.

Was that on eBay along with the other 3 mowers?

managed to upload the photos

I have now got a rolling chassis together, now just to start adding parts bit by bit

I can't seem to upload any more pictures, it was only down the road in Ashington

I picked this up recently. I think it is a simplicity serf 525. It is a very small tractor and looks quite cool. I'm not sure but I think it is 1969 and I think it has the original engine. Any help on identification would be appreciated. I will prob give it a light restoration some time as shouldn't take to long.
