Probably the leyland engine in this, any Vapormatic dealer will get one no problem if they don't have one in stock.Belt on front of engine snapped, phoned about to get one with no joy, have serial numbers so assumed be easy got, is it called fan belt??

Had to renew hydraulic hoses to spool block from where they come off behind back wheel, laid across seat on belly with one willing 6 Yr old sitting on back with rope holding in place whilst elder sister held other end of hose twisting slightly, they were asked not to repeat any of conversation to their mother but with their help got coupling lined up and on, team work I told them, never imagined be as awkward to work on, but can not afford machines younger than me, thank you all for responses all very helpful,Notoriously hard to work on them older machines, always lying across the loader arms.
And the older ones (with the split roof and Fordson Major engine I recall?) with the steering box, if you ever had to do a clutch ............
Just a tad off topic, sorry about that ........
Not just me that has to do that kind of thing then, the great thing about the march of time is that my children that used to help me are now young men and can shift bit of work themselves.Had to renew hydraulic hoses to spool block from where they come off behind back wheel, laid across seat on belly with one willing 6 Yr old sitting on back with rope holding in place whilst elder sister held other end of hose twisting slightly, they were asked not to repeat any of conversation to their mother but with their help got coupling lined up and on, team work I told them, never imagined be as awkward to work on, but can not afford machines younger than me, thank you all for responses all very helpful,
