Are you missing a thrust bearing? cant see one in the photos.

bamlett equiptment is fairly common round here but no one locally seems to have an example of this model before.

any idea of numbers produced?

have you checked the wireing for high resitstance? after starting if there is a hot spot on one of the connections clean it up and try again. If the engine is a bit harder to turn over when hot a bit more power to the starter might cure it?

I thought the handbrake stopped the gear box turning therefore locking the back wheels. assuming that is true, there would be no bias to one side because of the diff. I have heard that disc brakes are a pain to get right aswell.

i have my engine all stripped down in the same way. i am going to replace bearings and rings. i will check the pump out though.

if it has worked for 50 years, why change it?

it would need to be in parallel with the bulb or you will reduce the current further.

how much did the machine work cost? i am wondering if i should replace the liners and nevr have to worry about them again. but then i am only likely to be using the tractor 2 hours a week max.

many thanks

I removed one of the pistons today. dosent look too bad. top ring was broken in one place. carbon down to first ring only. con rod bearing has 2 scraches inline with the oil feed in the crank, but not worn through to the copper backing, some minor marks on the crank. the liners are worn very smooth....

I am currently in the process of stripping my 1960 dexta engine down. I am trying to guage if i need new liners in the the block or not, how big can the wear ridge at the top of the liner be before it is beyond hope?
Any top tips for removing carbon deposits?

many thanks

It had been suggested that it may have been a prototype, but i guess not if there are a few out there.

I bought a bar mower about a year ago and have been using it this year. I have taken it to a couple of local shows and no one has seen anything like it. It has a swedish makers plate on the side but also has a bamlett sticker accross the guard. Has anyone ever seen, used or know anything about it? h...

i mmust say i like the homemade spanner

there is a hole in the steering box casting for the throttle rod.

have you changed the fuel filter? that could make a big difference.

why give it a sniff? why not just drain the tank and rest of system then bleed clan diesel through?

i would just put a jump lead from the "non-earth" terminal on the battery to the glow plug. leave it for 40 seconds and then try to turn it over. dont forget to disconnect the jump lead or you will have a flat battery.

do you have the plate that sits above the "hook" when it is in the locked position?

looks fine to me. have you fitted it on the tractor yet?
the blade wont sit too deep in the guard when fitted

the cork was well past it. made a thick layer of instant gasket up where the cork should go. seems to be working. i had the pannel off the base of the sump and working through that, wiped a bit more gasket on anywhere that looked like it didnt seal 100% on the inside.

Think i fixed my dexta's leak! My attempt with sealent round the rear of the sump failed. in the end i found it quite quick and easy to drop the sump. removed radiator and front axle, then put a jack under the sump removed the bolts. worst part of the whole job was breaking the seal between the bloc...

its the solenoid with the button on the base of it. and it mounts to the front of the front fuel tank mount. on the same side as the air filter.
