Several of our machines are able to run static equipment from PTO pulleys etc, dynamos, tarpenflex implements,saws, soil shredders etc, if they are well guarded and behind rope/fence I can see that it would be even more interesting than just a stationary machine and more interesting than a stationary engine with no equipment being driven.

Come and say hello in the Club marquee, there could even be a cup of tea and a chat for weary show goers.

Hi there.
Are you sure it is a Drayton diesel? as they did fit a Sachs 500 to some late clifford mk 4 machines. I would have thought the Drayton was a bit big and heavy for a Clifford.
A lot of Ransomes MG crawlers were fitted with Draytons, I am sure an MG crawler enthusiast will be able to help you.

You could try club member Tony Skingley I know he has one but not sure if he has stripped it down.
Chris
His details should be in the members directory

Hi there
Howard recommended KLG F50 or equivalent with a gap of .025″

Hope this helps.
Chris
we always used L10s in ours for work, they seemed to do the job.

Hi Chris
They look in pretty good order, usually the tyres are totally bald, I guess they are three antelope units, should cover the ground quickly.

Hi there
I have found a carby it is on an old twin cylinder gem engine but looks servicable, probably need a good clean up and jet adjusting for the smaller BJ engine, I will get it off over the weekend and report back to you.
Chris

Hello Dave.
I think I may have a spare one, I will look in the barn tomorrow.

Hi there.
Most of the tractor related magazines have ‘whats on’ sections, most tractor orientated shows also cater for Horticultural exibits. As Charlie says all members receive the ‘Cultivator’ magazine which lists shows recommended by members.
Chris

Hi there Linric
Charlie is correct,judging by your photo you have the 360 degree crank, therefore 35 degrees BTDC.

Angus
I think I have a handbook somewhere for a dragon, is there something specific you need to know?
Chris

Hello there Angus.
The Ferodo manual of 1956 quotes part No 20196 Ferodo belt No V350. cost seven shillings and fourpence. That is for series 1V with Villiers 4stroke engine.

Not sure if this helps.

Here is a picture of my ‘Four Seasons’ scrubcutter, it works very well but a bit underpowered by modern standards.
