Don't be confused and don't panic The new home has a garden, just no where near big enough to move my workshack into.... But I do have a new workshop sorted.. It's just not in my garden.. No way am I "getting out of the fun playing hobby", there will just be a temporary pause in projects until I'm in the new shack

Yes, I have one quite similar and mine has a horizontal piece to put your foot on to push it into the soil. It has a cylindrical body - yours looks to be oval. Mine was made in Budapest. It has quite a lot of information on it (in Hugarian). It looks as though it was made by Muschinek Janos. It also has" Philloxera" on it. Hungarian grapes were devastated by a philloxera outbrak in the 1880s. Is this a clue to its age.

If we've done my dad's DOT, might as well add my brothers DMW

How about something like this James. Cheffins Vintage sale today.

That looks much better James.. Wider is better.. Why does it look like you have stuffed someones white cat down the muffler in photo 4?

Well ive done my fuel pipe today, most of it is in copper but ive had to do the last bit in rubber due too needing some more fittings. Ive also managed to get some videos took off the exhaust but I think im going to have to redo it and pack it tighter as its blowing bits of material out. http://youtu.be/U44Q-LRPy2c http://youtu.be/WgCX2f3F-e4 http://youtu.be/pC1TGktVGdg

Hi all had a busy day fabricating different parts of the machine I've widened the rear load bed which I think is a lot better it is going to look a bit like a Showman tractor / pulling tractor , which will look pretty good I think with it all sign written up on the sides etc , I've also made the rear tailgate door , which I've tacked in place , and finally I've started making the silencers , which me been tight etc and I like to use what I have available I cut an old car silencer in half re packed with wadding ( thanks Nathan ) and welded the ends up to make a pair, not bad for a first attempt and I'm pretty pleased with the result !

I don't doubt it with Nigel next door. Be interesting to see what transpires.

Hi all I've had another night fabricating various buts and pieces I've decided to make it into a ballast / tractor unit I've tacked on the rear ballast area but I've decided I'm going to make it a bit wider , I've also started to make the twin exhaust system here is what I've done so far !
