the showman 4,074 #29 Posted March 21, 2017 Had a spare couple of hours today so I stripped the front of the engine and flywheel, removed the coil, condenser and points. Points look good so they had a good clean then I went over the mower centre to get coil and condenser checked on jonathans machine, the coil came up good but the condenser came up duff. happy to pay a fiver instead of 55 quid. Hope to get it back together sometime this week 6 pmackellow, Alan, Stormin and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #30 Posted March 25, 2017 Spent a bit of time on the engine today, Cowling primered and painted, points and new condenser fitted, flywheel fitted, coil refitted. Its all back together and had it running for nearly an hour and pleased it runs so well. I will do some PHOTO's for you tomorrow when I get it out of the van 5 Triumph66, Stormin, pmackellow and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 1,016 #31 Posted March 25, 2017 I must have missed this thread Chris. What a great little machine you sniffed out. Good to know you're not entirely devoted to Red Tractors. ...... That must be a Keeper. I presume you will be at a certain Garden Centre tomorrow?. I was hoping to get down, but had to change plans. Maybe meet up sometime.
