Thanks Paul, you did look to be enjoying your drive on the 6x6 And now folk's, the last two Tractorfest videos.... Loads of tractors and a Merlin And the video Nigel has been waiting for

Saw this on R.S. and thought "A Desperado carrier" and a use for the left over front hood section from the 'Shakin Horse' build, How about one of these for your next project mr Showman?

Thanks Steve, maybe we should tour the shows armed with a microphone and video camera Patience glasshopper, "that" video is on the way We did indeed mate, it was a great day Here's the next two vid's guy's, and two more to come once they are uploaded

Great videos mate !

Really good set of photo's, Ranger thanks.

Today's update... The keyway in the axle was shot, the end of the hub shot too. The end to middle was ok and useable but needed a longer key to replace the small woodruff key. So I ordered a 1/4" end mill and used the lathe to cut a new one. Firstly making sure the height was spot on by marking the centre of the axle, this needs shims in order to get the correct centre. The final score line can just be seen. Then running the mill through in small passes to cut an 3 inch keyway. Once the full cut was done here's a half together shot showing the hub, fresh key steel and axle.

the merlin will be all sorted ready for next years show season here is a picture of it with its new companion in the shed the jimshot

i finally tracked down a good emblem grass box to go on the old girl from the old auction site it may well be slightly more modern than it was originally supplied with but it is the correct one here is a pic of it

nice video mate we all had a good laugh that day

another great vid ian is there still one to come?

It's all back together now ready for the next grass cutting session. Note to self. Take note of the order things come apart. Then you won't have to take things apart again to fit other bits.
