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 Clark.

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.

New potatoes, Chicken and veg from the garden and rhubarb and custard for afters. I think that
we all may have to come round for Christmas dinner. What time is it going on the table?

Yes. I went over to Rugby on Tuesday and collected it.

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.

got mine Friday thanks.

Ho Ho Ho Happy Christmas to all fellow club members.
See you all at Weeley 19th 20th September 2020.

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]
