Ransomes MG5 Crawler

[More Amps]

Make an offer - what have you got to lose? Besides anyone who says it turns over and has a spark but hasn't tried to start it is a stranger to the truth... (Oh well I've turned it over, checked the spark but can't be bothered to put a pint of fuel in it...really??? If he wanted top dollar he'd have it running!)

I did. Idk, why is it still listed if it’s sold? Who cares. I have too many projects

Would have liked that one for the steel wheel bands

I’m tempted to restore the whole thing. That looks so good.

Back will all need blasting though, expensive. Christmas coming too. Hmm.

The crawler needed a new needle so I got to and made one, and it works! I thought £12 seemed excessive from the parts people. I needed to drag a sled of pine logs for burning, the thing had all but settled into the earth. Crawler gets everything moving again.

The bore from the JAP has been soaking in degreaser for the past few days to soften all the oil and wasp nests in the fins, I’m happy with the outcome after blasting. I’ll give it a go with some phosphoric acid and then get it into paint.

Somewhat amazed this thing actually ran as well as it did, the valves look terrible. My seat cutter is too small.

Upside down as well

Dual angle pal, 45 degrees one side and 30 on the other.

But then again, a clever-clogs like yourself would've already known that

You'll need one of these and some palm oil to relieve the blisters.

I might get them ground in all honesty.
