Whilst I was away looking at a couple of ransomes cralwers, I seen this, guessing it's a Howard but don't know what model, is it worth anything?

Don't know what it is, but it will need a bit of work.

Not sure what it is I'd like to say it's something like an old Bantam rotavator

Bad pic quality... but...

It is a howard, sure S1G can give the model

 

Fit for the scrap by the looks of it!

It looks like a yeoman, which was the model inbetween a gem and bantam. Looks like the engine is a villiers mk 40.

The crawlers weren't much better!!

I think the lad likes a challenge.

Dont know about that, they have been sitting for 20 years. I was considering buying them but i already have a MG2 and MG5, they have good tracks, i might at some point they're not going anywhere.

BTW. A couple of years back, there was a Ransome in the auction at Heathergill Vintage Rally, Carlisle airport. You didn't get that by any chance?

[Rocboni 257]

No, it wasn't me. I did buy my Mg2 from outside Carlisle.

I saw that MG2 at the auction it was sitting at £200, I didn't really want it but it was a decent refurb so I bid it up to £400 and then saw that I was bidding against a young lad, being a kindly soul I let him have it at £460, I met him afterwards and asked him what he was going to do with it, instantly he replied "bang it on Ebay and make some money it was so cheap". True to his word it was on later and sold for £600. So much for being a kindly soul.

I remember that now, Johnathan. We both slipped up that day. I let a Wheel Horse rotovator go at £55.
