I remember that these issues were the subject of one or more BS service bulletins and were usually sorted by the replacement of…[Read more]

Forgot to attach the bit of info on electronic ignition I was sent this.

Here’s a write up on how the Briggs electronic coils work to advance the timing at higher rpms. I suspect your coil on the weak side is out of spec.“The simple, but very effective, spark control system advances the ignition timing, causing the plug to fire earlier…[Read more]

This is if any one is thinking of updating something with one of the Briggs & Stratton V twin Vanguard as have had over a year in getting one of those engines to run nearly as it should. I have one of the first now 23 year old V twin Vanguard Briggs that still runs as new and was made in Japan and few people know that, to start with the old engine…[Read more]

Hi could you assist me in dating a trusty tractor. My husband brought a trusty about 5 weeks ago. However he has recently passed away unexpectedly and never had the chance to get it ready for a ploughing match. He would have liked to know the age of the machine. Below are the numbers that I have found on the machine. History of machine…[Read more] -

Those Kubota charging systems seem to go on forever so the first thing I would check is that every wire has continuity from end to end. With the amount of vibration and in view of it’s age it wouldn’t be too far from the truth to find that the copper inside the plastic outer may have parted in more than one instance.

Hi all,
An update on the Trusty. Struggled to get the clip off and did not want to grind it out unless absolutely necessary. So decided to firstly try to do a (agricultural) repair in-situ. The shaft was twisted, so jacked up one wheel, put another jack under a spade lug and another jack on the other wheel’s spade lug, which would turn the w…[Read more]

Hi all hope we are well I have a charging problem with my Ransomes motor triple. Up until recently it’s been running great but it’s no longer charging it’s battery.

Hi, new to this group, I have a Nickerson Turfmaster T84, been using it since last year but wanted to do some maintenance on it, does anyone know anything about where I can find parts like chain sprockets to drive the side cutting units please? The one fitted works but it’s looking a little worn
Many thanks -
wristpin replied to the topic Howard Gem in the forum General talk and discussion 6 days, 20 hours ago
I presume that you have the chain off the machine ? So just take it to a bearing and transmission factor who will measure it up and supply the correct link. Possibly the chain is worn and it may be the time to renew it.

Hi all. New to the forum love everything shay but just acquired a Howard Gem with the 810 twin, it runs ok but my problem is with the drive chain to the rotors. Can anyone tell me the chain size please. It has a wrong link in it which causes it to jump over the drive sprocket. Only thing I can see on chain is fenner 6r (maybe) eyes aren’t so good…[Read more]
