New toy from 1929!

[hortiman]

I thought I would post a few photos of this 1929 Auto culto I collected from a smallholding near here yesterday. It had been in the same family since new but has been in a damp shed covered in old coats for the last 30-40 years. I am not sure if it is fitted with a reversible plough marketed by Auto Culto or was it an aftermarket accessory?

I hope this works!

Brilliant Chris. What a great find.

Very nice , both my Model As have different wheels , so with yours that’s three different wheels.
From info I’ve gathered , the only plough available was a converted Wright hand plough , difficult to be sure , but I would say that is a continental plough.
If you need any spares , I also have an incomplete machine , as well as new pistons and engine spares.

A great find and a lot of TLC needed.

I will need to start a shopping list! Starting with wooden handles and a flywheel cover, I think I have most of the other bits needed, but time and skinned knuckles will tell!

Looking good, Chris, you’ll have to put it in Jims register, I reckon it could be the oldest one….

the plough is original as far as i can acertain, i have a single version on my model A, and just reviewing some photos, it appears identical, or very similar to the one with the model E, that is in the museum at bicton agricultural college
