Title: Auto Culto
Post by: BillyC on June 30, 2009, 11:11:01 am

Hi,

I have an Auto Culto two wheel tractor circa mid 60's. It's now a runner and has a few implements. I have realised that there is an important bit missing though. There is no tool bar on the back of the machine to mount things like a potato ridger. Do any one have one that I could copy (or purchase)

Hopefully

Paul

Hi Paul

What model is it?  We have an Autogardener with a villiers engine and some tools (Plough, Hoe/cultivator and a rotovator attatchment).  Actually we are trying to sell it but as we are on the Isle of Lewis, not much chance.

The plough and cultivator bolt straight on to the back of ours, there are threaded holes in the casting.

Any chance you can post a photo on here so I can see if yours is similar?

Thanks for coming back to me!

Yes I can get a photo this weekend. There are threaded bolt holes on the back of the machine that I think will, or should, take a frame on to which a tool bar is fitted. I think I will end up fabricating a frame in 3/4" steel with lashings of trial and error!

I have resolved the problem. I came across the part on Ebay and have just "won it" so I can look forward to a busy Autumn

Thank you for your response
