Hi all if any of you are coming to Weeley please let me know so I can plan the weekend and the camping space as the camping field may be a bit tight this year cos the sheep pen has been extended. There will be enough room but you may have to park tidily to make room for everybody. View

    dave replied to the topic Lawn roller found in garden in the forum Help and information 6 days, 13 hours ago

    At a guess the old wooden handle rotted out and a enterprising
    gardener hammered a metal spike in so he could carry on rolling
    the lawn.

    dave replied to the topic Gem 600 cc JAP carburetor jet measurements help in the forum General talk and discussion 4 months, 4 weeks ago

    I have a Clifford Cultivator fitted with a J A P 600cc side valve engine
    and the J A P handbook states a Zenith 24T-2 no 1467 carburetter.
    So maybe you could fit a Zenith instead of the Amal.
    I can scan and send you the details if required.

    dave replied to the topic Wizard simplex pump in the forum Help and information 6 months ago

    We think that it worked off a pressurised system so the flow
    of water kept the pump working. Probably in a overhead system
    in large glasshouses or market gardens.

    Hi, Your Ransomes MG5 dates from 1949. I do have a parts list for a MG5 and an engine
    instruction book. I can get my grandson to download and send to you. Please
    contact me at djclark89@btinternet.com and I will try and help you.

    dave replied to the topic Ransomes ramdozer bracket help please in the forum Ride-on machines 6 months, 1 week ago

    There are two service sheets on the member downloads which may be of help.
    If this does not help please phone me as I think I know where there is a
    ramdozer that I might be able to go and photograph for you. Also can I have
    your tractor and engine numbers for the Ransomes register.
    Many thanks. Dave.

    Peter. Many thanks for the Ransomes MG2 details. I will add them to the Ransomes register. Your machine was made in 1938. If you need help I do have a MG2 handbook that I can download and send on to you. Your machine looks in very good order, congratulations, keep up the good work.
    Dave.

    As a belated postscript to this. I now have a Fairlawn spreader
    and all the paperwork. As soon as we can clean up the paperwork we will make
    it available. Stave a copy will be on its way to you.

    A friend of mine sent me a few new spuds from his garden today. Maybe
    Geoff wants new spuds for Christmas dinner.

    dave started the topic Weeley 2020 in the forum General talk and discussion 10 months, 1 week ago

    After a long chat with David Weeley we have decided that because of the uncertainty
    over the corona virus we have had to cancel the Weeley working weekend this year.
    We are very sorry about this but it is in the best interest of our members, a lot
    who are getting a bit long in the tooth.
    Dave Clark.

    Louis
    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.

    dave replied to the topic MG Ransome Crawler Plough in the forum Help and information 1 year, 4 months ago

    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.
