Well I've been to the workshop today and thought I would spend a quick ten min on the crawler what actually turned into 4 hours. Hope you like the photos and video I have only rebuilt it too see what it looks like as I have never seen one before it will get restriped ready for restoration. Please use the link below too view the video thanks.

Thanks Gents and for looking in on this thread. Yeah!, bit of a jigsaw Ian . Started the partial reassembly and then decided that several bits of the Clutch Linkage are too sloppy, worn and pitted. Don't want to 'Spoil the Ship for a Ha'p'orth of Tar', so I'll make new bits during the forecast rainy days ahead - Hit the Wheels the other day, full of the usual dirt n detritus mixed with Grease n Oil- Slow job cleaning out all the 'Cast In' gear teeth while trying to avoid getting any solvent in the gap between tyre and rim. Bushings showed a bit of wear, Stub axles are good, so extracted them and ordered replacements the other day. Gave the wheels a few coats of paint and left them to dry. Bushings arrived today so fitted those and now feels a smooth 'running fit' - Gave the tyre walls a clean and a coat of Holts Tyre Wall Black (old stock of some 40yrs) to seal the surfaces. I'm leaving the 'Tread' pattern and the Hub Cover issues until it is up and running. Next is more Blasting, Etch Priming and 'E' Bucketing parts before painting and assembly. Would be nice to get a Test Cut in before the winter if I can.

thanks no pressure then..... short update, fixed the clutch and it wouldn't start. I unscrewed the spark plug and saw this looked in the plug hole and it's totally coked up! cleaned plug, poured fuel into the bore and it started briefly. So next I cleaned the carb - inside and out it's a Walbro one, in reasonable nick. Not very dirty, but did have water in. result is it starts again, next job make it start on the key

I've got mine It's only one page but it's a start and it has Wheelhorse , John Deeres and Cub Cadets let's send some stories and builds lads !
