BGU Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Well we got back in under 22 minutes this time. Opened her up a bit more. It's 4 miles so an average speed of about 11 MPH. Look what it's done to my nice new exhaust - A bit hot?? :D She's done 4.5 hours since I've owned her!! Is that more than Fanny?? It nearly all went so wrong! I'm only using the small petrol tank because the large one leaks. I filled it right up before I left and when I got back to the farm some 8 miles later it was on the last dregs!! Don't think much of the MPG!! Must get the other tank on. She was also missing a bit and needed the choke open a touch all of the time so need to get her serviced! Thank god I didn't run out of fuel! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Brilliant Kev.... she's running a little rich I'd say mate... I reckon the carburetor and timing need checking mate... Great to see her on the road and mobile... As for the fuel consumption... that's not right... when she's running properly that will be a different matter I am sure... Loving the hitch... never seen one like that before either \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Good stuff, Kev Maybe the fuel consumption and hot exhaust are linked. Never seen that drawbar either - looks a bit continental? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 nice run out then kev, bet the neighbours love seeing her sat on the drive like that, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But perhaps you should buy it now and restore it so that it is ready to go when you retire! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen these drawbars on eBay before - it must be made to fit a Massey as the curve is just right for the back axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 it's basically a fixed drawbar mate , you have the rigidity of a normal drawbar fitting at the bottom & the higher section was designed for the drawbaron a 4 wheel trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGU Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Didn't photograph the front closely but there are several holes but no pins? for the three point linkage to hitch onto? Any idea what it is? Is that a makers plate or a dealers plate? About the right age for Penny I think? 1960? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Lubbly jubbly Kev.... thats gonna need a shot blasting and a coat of paint... I can't wait to see Penny pulling her up the field. Most agricultural emginrrers will have the pins you need... if indeed thay are not already in penny's toolbox So.. some on then.... lets see it on the back of Penny.... any old bar will do for now just to pick it up.. \ As for what it is... its a spring tine cultivator.. very popular in the 1960's, 70's and early 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
