Nice find! Please put up some pictures. I think that your "Jones" winch actually is a Norwegian made Igland unit. I may have some linkage parts for you, located in Norway though ;)

Carb for Ransomes MG5 crawler

Hi,

I'm looking at buying one of these crawlers. Its missing the carb and I would like to check availbility before buying the crawler.

Therefore I'm looking for a carb for the Ransomes MG5 crawler. It has the single cylinder 600cc Sturmey Archer "T" engine.

Regards,
Frode
