The Carburettor you require is a Amal concentric no 244/873.
The fuel pump is an Amal type 150/858.
As Neil comments they are very rare items.
Can you please send me the tractor and engine numbers for
the Ransomes register.
Dave.

Postman Pat has just delivered my copy.

A friend of mine had the same problem. He managed to cut a bit of digger bucket
lip plate to size and carefully trimmed the old worn share to shape and mig
welded the lip plate into place. Not a 100% job but it got him ploughing again.
Can you please send me the frame and engine numbers for the Ransomes register.

Its very much like the Darby digger. Made in Wickford Essex. and fitted
to the back of a traction engine.

Many thanks for al the positive comments.
2020 dates 19th and20th September.

A big thank you to all members who came along and made the weekend worthwhile
and a very big thankyou to Robert (Trustymad) for all the work he did to
help me over the weekend. Lots more photos to follow.

I went to Weeley yesterday in the rain. The field/playpen
needed a good watering so it should be in good condition
for the weekend. The weather forecast is good, set fair
for the weekend so we will all have a good time. I look
forward to seeing you all on Saturday.

If you check the member downloads there is a parts list with most of the information
you require for the TS 65 and 66 mounted ploughs.

Yesterday the 29th I went to Weeley to check the field and have a chat
with Dave and Chris Weeley. The Field looks in good condition and is
fairly weed free so we should have a good playpen/ploughing area.
There are lots of new additions to the sheep and also some very
friendly goats for the youngsters to pet. watch the goats as they
will try to…[Read more]

Peter. I look forward to hearing/seeing you at Weeley
in September.

in the right direction.
The address is published in The Cultivator magazine which is sent to all paid up club members. (edited by admin) It will be well worth getting up
on Saturday morning.

Welcome to the joys of Ransomes ownership. Please send machine and engine numbers
for the Ransomes register. The gearbox holds half gallon Castrol XXL or
Essolube 50 according to my MG2 handbook.

Thanks Alan, another good read.

I will settle for the roller again this year Geoff.
How big is the tank you use for the brick cleaner?
You are making a very good job of it so far, looks good.

Question.
Did chairperson work at the Trusty factory as a lad?
The works picture looks Chair Geoff as a lad.

The theme for Weeley this year is anything Trusty. Is there any chance
that we will see this missing link in action in September?
Dave.

How about some machine numbers for these MG’s for the
Ransomes register please.
Dave.

I am afraid that I am a bit oldschool when it comes
to this compooter thingy. Roberts and my subs are in
the post with a cheque.
Happy new year.
Dave.
