Some more assembly done today.
 
Tensioner assembly and wheels on.

 
Bracketry for attachment to tractor assembled.
 
 
That's it for now. Some bits and pieces to make, beg or steal next.

A little more progress.
 
  Found a 1/2" x 6" bolt and the threaded remains of a couple long (once}  5/8" bolts. Turned the 5/8" down to 1/2" and that gave me three pieces of 1/2" bar. Drilled the spindles where they were welded to the securing plates, welded in the replacement spindles and the result is below. Old spindles included for comparison.
 

 
  Fitted to the shell and lift arm refitted as it should be.
 

 
 
    I found the bore of the double drive pulley to be 30 thou bigger than the blade spindle. Didn't look worn and neither is the spindle. PO bodge? Pulley off a different deck?
 
   I bored the pulley out to 1" ID, then turned up a sleeve a tight fit, tight as knocked in with a hammer, and will be tack welded. When that's done I'll finish the bore to 3/4" to suit the spindle. I'll have to get the key way cut, but I know a man who has the gear..
 

i was looking at some you tube vids and a few of the lads on there bolted a piece of railway track to a heavy piece of wood till they could get an anvil    

managed to pick these up yesterday so thats 2 more not on the scrap heap 
cleaned the fuel tanks out of old petrol and new petrol added checked the oil levels charged the battery's cleaned points and plugs 1 of them needed a new coil had a spare and away they go 1 needs a muffler on the exhaust (1 on order of the net)

just had a look and I think there 1975 models

Well done!  Look good as they are. Maybe replace the torn seat. What models and years?

wow great find.....they look great

Good find, leave as is 

leave them, they're only original once. besides that they don't look like they need it anyway

Hi All
Here is a couple of pics of my Gutbrod 1032 tractor with a Gutbrod rotovator this also makes a good job hope you like this field had not been ploughed for 26 years I could have ploughed it all day

I also was pleased with the results of the rotovator

this one is the right way round sorry

finaly got round to getting the cutter out and waving the stick welder about so I thought id give you a little up date on this haven't received the rams yet so I haven't welded on the ram pin plates yet but they are cut  ready but I just thought it would be better to wait just incase they not the size stated my next port of call will be to make the bucket
im thinking that the loader arms are to long but ill see when I get the bucket made and on

Looks like you have made a good start with your loader, looking forward to seeing it finished and being used

Are you going to extend the frame underneath to fasten at the back? And why are the front tyres the wrong way round?

Oh hello the tyre direction police are back !!  

Probably because non driven chevron tyres run and steer better that way

I only arsked!
