just a few pics.

sorry Ian, no. The axle came off the robin my neighbor had,it caught fire,he kept the prop for a spare for his latest car - General Lee - in the reliant robin post on here. I was thinking of building a three wheel Bonsor type truck for the stables so he gave me the axle, I will ask him if he has any old props kicking around when I see him.I think he was going to weigh in the remains of the engine and gearbox,it is down at my friends farm, If I can get to it before he does I'll take off the drive flange from the box, it maybe of some use to you. Doug.

more pics. These are just pics of items outside,there were motorbikes,spares and all kinds of manuals,brochures etc.

Hi Nigel. The Wheelhorse had I believe £ 2700 reserve!!!!! The owner, an elderly gentleman told me he has owned it for the last 25 years. Sten, The Jacobson made £240-£260 if I remember correctly. All lots sold should have thier prices displayed on the website.

Wish I had known Ian, I've just given one away, to go on a v twin Honda to build a trike! A friend at work had ordered a Ural outfit, £12 -1/2 k and now thinks he won`t get it due to sanctions with Russia.so he decided to build a trike in case.

'CWTH' ? : 'Celebrate The Wheelhorse' Society ?

When my Raider 10 & C121 were made the company was owned by AMC.

My C121 has a Mountfield plate on it ? Now would Kubota powered Wheelhorse come under 'K' or 'W' ?

Tarpen would only be 3 months ahead of Wheelhorse.

Great idea It'll take a while to get around to "Wheelhorse" though! Maybe start at each end of the alphabet and meet in the middle

Could you not put the 'track rod ends' under the steering arms and then lower the whole 'steering rod thingy'

You could bid for it on i-bidder ;)

Hi Paul, I didn`t stay too long,it was too hot, I will find out tomorrow, my wife works there, She works part time ie. 10-3 but once a month on sale days longer hours so I have to have the day off to let the dog out,terrible I know, having to wander around looking at all of this machinery and usually buying something, if only to stop the scrapman getting it, last month it was a BCS 603 complete with flail and shredder/chipper attachments,thats 2 I have now 16hp v twin steering by brakes and clutches on each wheel,the basis for a tracked conversion maybe?or perhaps a twin engined 'Bendy' with 4wd,they both have dual wheels!!! Sorry, dreaming again, too much time spent admiring the efforts of Ian & Mr Meadowfield! My C101 came from here for £100. at one sale an RJ ? sold for around a couple of hundred, people only seem to pay silly mony if the tractor has a cutting deck with it. If you go on Cheffins website you can see the reserve price by entering your email address.then you have access to all of the unsold lots.If you have a buyers number you can make an offer on anything unsold,they will contact the vendor with your offer. doug.

Cheffins monthly agricultural sale: not an awfull lot in the sale, not too many people either.Some items would probably have sold better in the forthcoming Vintage sale. Pic`s not great, taken with my phone.

Many happy returns :thumbs: If you didn`t get any Wheelhorse presents,that means they are still out there for the rest of us

Hi there. Not forgotten about the hardness test on the axle shafts, trying to calibrate the tester before I can start. Have found a couple of obselete? council 'donated' bottom blades,brand new but a bit of rust on them,I was going to use them for blades on a box/grader type 'thingy' the rough dims are 30.5" long-3" wide & 1/4" material thickness, 11 csk holes, would one of these be of any use for your restoration? pics should give an idea of the shape/profile. regards Doug.

Sierra/herald type diff,chain drive to seperate axle shafts with a method of locking them together, cheap difflock.

Spacer between the trans and the frame? or fabricate a new rear part of the frame to extend it and carry the 90 deg box

Thanks Guys, Ian, Maybe 'Why Not' could have a back end like that,with seats, or you could make it into a 'wheelying'? rickshaw as in the James Bond movie. Thinking about it, should your decals say, 'WHEEEEELY HORSE'
