Stormin 4,458 #1 Posted April 26, 2014 Had run over to an old friend who is a bit of a Ransom addict. Well more than a bit. 11 at the last count and a goodly collection of various implements. Unfortunately they were all tucked away. But a few photo's for you. He's had a look at MoM, so hopefully he will come along and tell us about them. 4 nigel, steve d, Anglo Traction and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

expeatfarmer 591 #5 Posted September 25, 2014 Hi Stormin I have indeed signed up. My collection started as a result of trying to find an MG6 I used to own about 30 years ago, I was hard up and had to sell it, it went to a guy in Brampton Cumbria that had just built a bungalow with a very large garden. Posted an ad in the local paper which produced a response from three MG owners.One of them had a crawler in use as a flower pot! The one I sold had a full set of implements including a rotovator and a gang mower and had extra wide tracks as I used it on the peat bogs. I now have a collection of 15 including a very rare Whitlock loader of which only three are known.My aim is to collect one of each model produced between 1934 and 1963 including the various engine options and the implements to go with them. I am always on the look out for these machines if anyone knows of one on wheels I would love to hear. PS never did find my old MG6, but bought the three from the paper!

expeatfarmer 591 #7 Posted October 2, 2014 Wait until you see the latest model. Just been fitting up the petrol engine with a dynastart unit working on to the flywheel looks good and even seems to work ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
expeatfarmer 591 #8 Posted October 2, 2014 Just acquired a couple of ancient Ransomes Mowers from the late b1930's both are fitted with the TB type engine fitted to the MG2 crawlers. One is a 30" cut which I am using to cut the grass and keep fit ( you have to run behind it ) the other is a 36" monster. I have been searching for a roller seat which is why I bought the 36" only to discover that my neighbour had one buried in the undergrowth of his garden not 20ft away from my house! 2 nigel and diggerjames reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #10 Posted October 2, 2014 Nathan, if you went to Johnathans place, if you could find it, he'd never get rid of you. Maybe have a run up over the weekend, Johnathan for a drool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
