    We do have a number of club members in Ireland, not sure if they use the forum though. Might well be worth putting a request in The Cultivator.

    Joe some excellent words, this is a great opportunity for The Cultivator to be THE magazine for followers of our hobby and with very modest membership rates a better choice than the commercial magazines. As you say it does need club members to contribute.
    Allowing for the regular items that are in the magazine approximately 65 pages of content are needed each year to fill all the issues in a year (based on 6 issues a year). We have in excess of 700 members, if each one only contributed one A4 page we would have material for over 10 years issues!!!
    Many say they are not good at writing, as has been said before write it as you would speak it. This is what Maurice Saunders did with his excellent books about timber haulage eg Stories of Round Timer Haulage; Men Mud & Machines.
    If enough material, articles, show reports, auction reports and photos etc are sent in we could increase the number of pages from 16 to 20 or 24 even who knows.

    Yes it is a 17″ machine dating from 1961. Spares for Villiers engines are available from a number of suppliers, eg Meetens, Villiersparts etc

    I wonder if John Cruse knows anything as he is in Hailsham.

    Just another example of how the English language has many words from France, Germany etc.

    Rolcut secateurs go back to the 1930’s so certainly an old design.
    Advert from The Fruit Grower magazine below dated September 5th 1935.

    What machine is this fitted to? Does it have a throttle cable or is engine governed only?

    The Rowtrac was not designed by Geo Monro, the Monro Tiller was, designed by Harry Shickle and very solidly built. The clutch lock does not look original, those that I have seen are on the side of the gearbox. A close up of the lock and surrounding area would be useful.

    It could be it has been modified to fit a T or TS. The literature I have for the F shows a long and a short square bar extending back to fit in the sockets on the F, in line with the shorter bar is another bar extending forward to carry a depth wheel.
