Glad you done a deal for this. Be interesting to see what you will do with it.

 

Can you get a V8 under the hood??:D

 

haha, that would be good, but i'm hoping to put it back to original specs if I can source the parts. :)

Interesting clutch and chain drive arrangement. Good luck with it. You'll now end up with an original instead of a reproduction. :thumbs:

 

Sure will, it is interesting but it will have to go. I'm still hoping to build my other one as well :D

I think there's/was some one round Morecombe/Heysham/Lancaster that refurbished steering wheels.

 

 

The one pictured is from my cub that I refurbished, I wonder if they may have one the same.

Thanks Chris! Neil has told me that the model of Clinton engine I would need is a Clinton 1290, it would be great if it was the same model, or similar HP, if not I think it would be best to hold out for a Kohler K91.

Well after quite a delay with the shipping company, I get a call asking where we live...

 

followed by "oh Sh1t, I'll call you back...." I hopped on the quad thinking he was lost and I'll find him first. Quad was the wrong mode of transport and not man enough for the job...

He got got stuck in the bottom of the village, and I had to pull him out. 

 

Anyway, he dropped a pallet off and there's only one way to move a pallet up here :D

might leave it for Ewan to unpack when he's next home.... unless he really wants some more pics....

Wooo I have an engine :hdance: So after some research I have discovered that the model B1260 (above) and the model B1290 (correct one for the RJ) are exactly the same engine, the only difference is that the 1260 had a reduction box added from factory, hopefully after a rebuild it should bolt straight in :D.

That's what I call a very satisfactory result. :thumbs: Also an engine sourced PDQ.

 

Yes i'm very happy providing its not in too bad of a condition, its already clear that it needs a rebuild but fingers crossed :fingerscrossed:

Oh well, it would've been good but it doesn't matter. I can't thank you enough for finding the engine! I just hope we can rebuild it and get it running :)
