Ransomes MG40 Crawler

Ransomes MG40 Crawler pushing up the muck heap. First time running in a while!

[@maseratirijder]

you are breaking the centrifugal clutch mate! when you want to reverse you should let the revs drop down so the clutch can disengage and then change gear

In fairness it was the first time he had used it, and the engine had quite a few issues including throttle related.

Is that the loader make by Whitlock brothers ? I know they made a version for the Ransomes crawler. Must be pretty rare . Very nice

[@PandaJ]

Very much dought it! Too useful a tool!!

[@harrylarry30]

Yes a very useful tool, i collect Ransomes mg crawlers, and i am missing the Ransomes MG40 from my collection. If you ever do want to sell it, please contact me.

[@harrylarry30]

[@PandaJ]

[@PandaJ]

Ransomes one... And ya need the poke from the diesel really...

[@PandaJ]

The loader is ransomed

[@ralanden]

I have some Drayton Diesels parts - if anyone is interested I'll look them out. Noisy engine, the Ransome's petrol is much nicer, IMHO!

[@gilesadams4478]

Hello I have a Drayton, it came to a sudden halt, what parts have you got?

[@PandaJ]

The engine was "rebuilt" some years previous most of the bolts had been stripped sadly
