VHGMC magazine arrived yesterday, Alan gave the show a great write up...
-
Here's some more relevant literature...
-
That's tidy, I like that
Right colour for the wheelhorse boys
-
Happy birthday mate, hope you have a great day
-
A good friend lent me this literature for copying today...
-
It looks that way, I don't think the drive tube on a Super 88 is shorter than the others (not got one), sorry I can't be more help...
You may have to modify the shaft to get it to fit, there's a clamp on the end of the tube that holds the implement in place
-
That's strange, can't think why the shaft would be longer, unless its been modified to fit something else in the past ??
I've got another drive that fits the smaller 34 model but that is literally the square section shaft with a drive shaft attached, rather than the belt drive units as above...
Does the shaft come out of the unit or is it fixed ?
-
Similar adverts from a 1967 catalogue from my collection...
-
Hello Reiver and welcome
I've got one of the earlier 85 models with a Tarpen drive , can't see why it would not fit an 88 as the shaft sizes are the same...
I'll get some better pictures when I am where the machine is stored
-
Some great items there Webhead !!
-
The unit in the first photo is my Mini Engine sold by Tarpen Engineering in the UK, it has a rotary tiller on the end of it
-
Lovely Little Wonder brochure arrived from the US today
Amongst the products it lists this power head, very similar idea to the Tarpen unit that's part of my collection...
-
I did get the starter mechanism to unseize before it went back together, at a later date I will investigate the engine further
-
Definitely a show on the 2017 list.
-
Bought the latest Tractor and Machinery today, Peter Love gave the section a good write up...
-
Its engine related although the starter itself is seized, when I removed the cowling it all looked pretty grotty under there, I've cleaned it up as best as I can
As the machine will be used for display only I'm not that worried (at this time) about getting it going
Thanks for your comments gents
-
The engine is dead solid so I have concentrated on making it look pretty, it's not come out too bad...
-
WOW !!
That is a lot of parts !!
Just as an idea what $ are you asking for the Circular Saw and most complete chainsaw ??
Doubt I can afford them (shipping to the UK will be expensive) but hey if you don't ask...
-
Great, would like to see what machines you have !
-
Welcome neons from the UK !!
There's a following over here for these little engines as well, I would like to see photos of your collection, sounds very interesting !
-
He must have been the apprentice who got sent to the stores for a long wait, a box of sparks for the grinder, a left handed screwdriver and a can of tartan paint !
-
Tank has arrived, many thanks to Webhead
Just need to get it looking the same as the blue one now...
-
Just need the fuel tanks sorted out now, one on its way hopefully from Webhead, looking forward to getting both units complete
-
Second unit back together this afternoon, decal arrived from the states today so that went straight on, the two units have not come up bad, quite pleased...
Still a few bits to touch in but almost there.
-
Is it one of these ??
Seen at the South Downs Heritage Centre today.
