HeadExam 1,783 #1 Posted October 9, 2016 This is the first 4 speed with reverse model I've seen. It has some sort of clutch on the back and one belt. Most of these had two belts that were twisted and had a lever to engage a reverse by using a tension pulley to run the belts the other way. It has some surface rust on the skirt, a little overspray on it, but the tines and gear box look nearly new 3 Triumph66, Anglo Traction and Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 1,016 #2 Posted October 9, 2016 Handy machine. I like the 'Sod Buster' label in 1st Gear position . I had duel Belts on a '71' JD 624E Tiller, operated by a lever and pulley driven off the Camshaft for reverse. That machine look's way tidy. I get ones that look like this to sort out- 1 HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeadExam 1,783 #3 Posted October 9, 2016 OH MY! there is some work on that machine, Do you ever use OSPHO http://www.ospho.com/directions.htm I love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 1,016 #4 Posted October 9, 2016 Not that Brand Alain, but here there are brand like Kurust and Trustan 23 which do the same. I also find them very handy, but they can't cope with thick rust and the job has to be well dry before priming/painting. 1 HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSPHO has a clear varnish type sealer in it that dries overnight that results in a sacrificial layer, but no it is not for a heavy rust, more for surface rust. Most items down, here even with our humidity, have minimal rust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
