Nick,
Do you remember Roy Geary our club chairman, he had one of those sets all the time I knew him, often wondered where it went when he passed, nice little outfits, I think he ran a tarpen hedge trimmer off it.

Yes, and I remember seeing the set at Woburn.

No problem - they're not eating anything, would just have been nice to see them reunited with the trolley.

There are ways and means. It might be possible for Nick to get the parts to Northants and I can get them from there to Cheshire later this year (October).

Probably best to post it in the for sales with a good set of pictures and an asking price.
I would like to see it reunited too. Thumbs Up

Also has what I think is the correct magneto? Yes it works too :-)

I also got the correct silencer and manifold without a damaged hole

Still 100% success with the Claas tool

Looks like this is now my current project

Hello and welcome to the forum.

You would probably get a better response by starting a new thread rather than tagging onto an old one, and it keeps things tidy.
