Well big progress today Bendy is back to a rolling chassis... I fit the remaining oil seats in the front transmission, ordered some more woodruff keys and started the reassembly process. Lots of new nuts and bolts, its a shame to fit rusty ones back in especially when you can see them..... well I did cheat reusing the old ones for the transmission and the wheel bolts, 7/16 unf are hard to come by and not so cheap. I'm going to buy some zinc and have a go at electroplating them. Also got the remote shift working the forward reverse, just the high low lever to fit. the cat sneaked into a shot

Hi all after seeing many pictures of stretched Horses and brilliantly modified machines to make them more versatile etc such as Marks Brilliant 4x4 conversion on his C101 (check his build thread ) and his latest creation project bendy , then there's Ian with his awesome Raider 6x6 which will go anywhere see the you tube videos ! And the Showman ( Chris) with Trac horse which is another very good mod ! Any way back to my idea I've just very recently took delivery of a 4 speed transmission thanks Ian - Mark and my plan is to attach this behind my 8 speed transmission on my C141 donor tractor and then I will connect the transmissions together so I have 4 wheel drive on the rear of the tractor ! Which I will connect via a chain drive more about that later he's my first nights work enjoy!

good start James, are you making both transmission rigid at the back? p.s. thanks for the plug p.p.s. now you've upped the stakes I'm having to work hard on bendy....

Norlett Sickle Bar Cutter. Just painted and fit on tractor....Seems to work ok...Looking for some longish grass to try out properly. When we go to our next show we should have a nice cut area....I hope.. Might need a rake and baler...If its to long.. Might be next job making a rake...

Great news! Another white tractor saved Look forward to the pictures

You know you won't be able to stop at two machines Andrew, once you get the collecting bug it's almost unstoppable
