    My Workshop.. Yes, that's right :-)

    Sold.... Once it has been moved and rebuilt the new owner plans to restore a Ford F100 pick-up truck in it which I think is a very fitting use

    Look forward to seeing what you make of this derelict (look's about the same condition as my C-120 when I got it) . If you need a Service Manual for your 'Uni Drive' Transmission, there is one available. As said, your Tranny should be the 3fwd, 1 rev (4spd) - 5084 version that was last used on/fitted to the 74/75 B80 series in the US. Raider 10s were normally 8 speed Trannys (6 fwd, 2 rev incl Hi/Lo) from 1974 on. Belgium Built units used up the old surplus 4 spd Trannys in mid 70s.

    Yellow Mower Challenge!

    Thanks Ray, and I'll check out what's local when I get around to sorting the Treads, just in case my plans and application fails . Bit slow with just a brief update so far, mainly due to a few assembly problems I found. Main one being the L/H Threaded Freewheel/drive Pinion retaining screw (red arrowed in first pic) will no longer fully screw in comfortably. Suspected the internal thread was damaged when the Cylinder/Blades were held 'Between Centres' on various machines when rebuilt, so I have had to obtain a 1/4" L/H BSF Tap to recut the threads (in the post). The right hand side, I was able to deal with as it is standard R/H Thread and I had a Tap for that. The main Drive Chain (yellow arrow) needs replacing really, as it is slightly stretched and won't allow proper tension adjustment, having probs locating the exact spec chain (type 415 med duty). It is what is holding up the whole L/H Wheel assembly One of the mods I had to make was the addition of a Bronze Bushing (blue arrow) to carry the newly made Clutch Guide Rod, as the hole was 'Egged Out' (more on this in next update) - Another observation I had made was when I fitted the Cylinder, there was a noticeable lack of clearance between the end of some of the Blades and the 1/2" Whitworth Stub Axle retaining nuts, too close for my liking, so I machined off the surplus ends of the nuts that did not engage with any thread to increase the clearance- I've managed to finish most of the prep and painting of the remaining parts and are currently 'hardening up' at the moment (upper Handlebars had a lot of prep work due pitting). Several other bits awaiting delivery, had a job finding suitable Bar Grips, but the ones I eventually found will look ok and hopefully will start to look more complete by the end of the coming week and will post more pics then.

    Good project! Narrow fronts are pretty rare and only on the short frame tractors. You need to look for a commando 7 or 8, or maybe even earlier....

    When I went out to the shed this morning I found out what the two clips do, they hold the grown-wheel and planet gears in, as I had a drain bucket full of parts next move was to remove the tranny (didn't have room to tip the tractor upside down) and after a lot of head scratching I got all the parts back in and refitted the sump. on moving the axle back under the tractor the nearside driveshaft slid out so stripped it down again and one of the locking clips wasn't rite in. now its back in the tractor, just have to fill it with oil and see if it works
