Cadet 81 at its first show today at the Kent Meet and Greet, now tucked away for the winter !!

I like your thinking Norm might try and find an old barrow for the tubing and angles like Nigel uses ! Coming up both sides

had a good think on the wiring - as it's all from scratch - here's the first scribble of a diagram then back to the rear drive - things have had to change over time. Need space to tension a belt as the rear axle now has a lot of articulation. Here's the idlers in place, waiting for the pulleys to arrive. The string lets me see how much tension is created by the axle pivoting. (giving away my secrets) and finally the calculator giving me the sprocket and pulley sizes

Thanks guys!!!! I'm pleased with the progress so far, I'm at the trying to squeeze the last bits in phase. The rear drive so the axle floats, as well as wiring!

Good work James!

Sounds good

Sounds sweet mate

The Kent Meet and Greet took place earlier today at the Millbrook (Highgrove ) Garden centre at Marden. Many thanks to those who turned up to support, Phil, Kevin, Ethan, Rob and Nigel Don't forget the Sussex Meet and Greet at Isfield station on October 26th..

Ian, I will watch for updates accordingly and try and plan my work around. Be good if you move in time for Christmas. Cheers.

13kva , split over 3 phases. Not the most civilised machine compared with modern "quiet" units but very economical on red diesel and allows life to carry on uninterrupted. The only thing that causes a change of engine note is the ordinary domestic 800 watt micro wave when it pulses. no doubt someone with an electrical "ology" can explain that. Control panel

another video for you all

A short video of tonight's adventures with the crawler on its first test run

here's the rest...not my hood - stole it from Ewan, also still 4x2 - I needed the tin work in place before I finished the idler and 4WD select/difflock and the obligatory video
