Picked up a few free logs today. Nice trailer full. About 2 ton. Some healthy exercise anyone?

I've got a Wheelhorse rear bracket to attach a dozer blade or tiller to the tractor but need another one but they are hard to find so I thought I'd make a copy. Start with a bit of quarter plate bent to shape, make a template from cardboard and drill some holes and a few square ones. I was lucky to have an old mount from a 265 to nick a couple of bits from Just needs a coat of paint when I get time

Thank you for all your good wishes. Back to normal today!

A few more bits, large and small, lurking in and around the various sheds near where the Selig lathe came from. Added with permission of the owner. A large Drummond lathe about 6 foot long. No idea of the model, plus a hefty looking Harrison. Forgot to check the swing of these two. Not much room to get good photo's. A wood turning lathe, band saw, and hidden under the blue tarps a wood planer. Can't remember what the green machine in front of it is. A surface grinder and what we think is some sort of guillotine or maybe metal bender. This has a double ended V shaped blade which slides sideways. Pillar drill and wood mortiser. Lots of assorted wood planes and a nice boxed Record 405 multi plane. I think the owner said there were more of these, or similar, stored away. And finally three large stationary engines. A Bamford and two of which I have forgotten the make. Some of the larger machinery look as if they were installed first, then the sheds build around them. Lots more smaller bits and pieces scattered everywhere. If anyone interested in any of the above, just shout.

Fitted new tank gasket & still the same. Looked again at the choke & although it looked closed there was a tiny gap both sides of the flap. Slight mod to the set up and it closes tight now & started second pull. I should have checked it properly, thanks guys

Not just the members, but the dozens maybe hundreds of lurkers that aren't members, but are reading the posts
