Ransome Plough

So i've finally taken the plunge and brought myself a plough! I know very little about it as it has no plate. But I believe its a Ransomes Robin and seems to be in very good condition. I've got a lot to learn but this seems a good place to start!



First hitch up to the Fergie. My top link draught control is giving problems making heaving item bounce as the top link gets pushed a little. But the plough fits well and isn't too heavy which is a relief! 




Petrol TVO or Jet A1!

Fuel Mixes?

I've never really had any paraffin to mix and create my own mix of fuel for the TVO. What I do have available though is some Jet-A1 aviation fuel. 
Jet A1 is similar to kerosene and therefore diesel and I had heard a few stories about people mixing diesel with petrol for their TVO ferries.

So I've been mixing 50% petrol and 50% Jet A1 and its been running very well. No smoke of rough running, its even happy to switch over when the engine isn't warm.
