I wish I had more of an update on Why Not for you guy's, but as my ordered steel has yet to turn up (fingers crossed for tomorrow he says yet again ) I've not been able to get on with much.. These two bits of blue box have been welded to the back of the body and screwed to the bench.. And a couple more lengths at the front.. These hold the bodywork in the right place so I can work out how the new chassis rails will run.. Nothing is set in stone yet, but I do know I want the top rails to run inside the bodywork.. Roll on when the steel arrives, it will look better and be a bit stronger than the lengths of wood

ive been after one of these for a while now and it turned up today after a few minutes it was running briefly but the carb is knackered and i hate tecumseh engines so its going to get a honda lump very soon here are a couple of pics

Just acquired a couple of ancient Ransomes Mowers from the late b1930's both are fitted with the TB type engine fitted to the MG2 crawlers. One is a 30" cut which I am using to cut the grass and keep fit ( you have to run behind it ) the other is a 36" monster. I have been searching for a roller seat which is why I bought the 36" only to discover that my neighbour had one buried in the undergrowth of his garden not 20ft away from my house!

Wendy and I went into Hampshire this morning along the scenic A272 to collect this little machine that I had won on that well know auction site Its a Landmaster Gardenmaster 34, not quite complete but with lots of bits including a direct plug in Tarpen drive (hadn't got one of them) plus a pair of tines, a spin weeder, a stand for when the machine is running a drive unit, another drive head and two tine covers There was another Tarpen shaft drive hedge cutter as well Not bad for £5.50 !!

Thanks chaps, glad you like it... A bit more steel recycling today.. The big tube from this bit of Honda bike frame.. And some blue bit's of angle that were off-cuts from Garry's trike.. Both fitted. As the front castor wheel was rather worn to say the least, I dug this heavy duty castor wheel out.. One of a pair that has been following me around for years just waiting for the right moment to be used.. And a quick test fit ... I just need to make something to hold the gas bottle in place (rather than the bungee that was used for this quick photo), and it's done.. I was going to paint it but I rather like the "vintage used" look

this is how it should look ben

looks like the rear wheels have seen enough skidding...

Im Happy to make him a front axle but that would look better with rear tracks and large wheels up front and a tipping back.

Hi All Just the handles to do nowPaul

i reckon theres a way of fitting 2 of those engines in that ben
