just to keep me busy this winter i have another project to do at the same time as handy landy this will be a quick one though we pulled it into the workshop at 12 and by 4pm we had it stripped of its clothes and when i say WE i mean my boy Karl and me, all ian did was drink my coffee

Amongst many of my other projects I've been working with Sam and Nathan we have been looking at fitting hydraulics to the C121 , trying to think what will have a vee belt pulley on etc and knowing we're not going to need vasts amounts of pressure for what we're needing ( eventually it's going to be used for a three point hitch ) etc , so I've sourced a power steering pump off an old range rover 3.5 v8 engine . Which should be more than upto the job hopefully anyway , I've also gonna use if it has enough capacity a land rover pas resovoir, in order to mount the pas pump we had to dispense with the original exhaust to allow for room for the pump , here is what we have done so far !

Thanks Iain, yes it's certainly been an interesting story.. and a very busy story!! Too right Nigel and I will be having lot's of fun.. we have been already A bit of a sad video for you guy's and girls..

I've a single Ransome's... Too big for the space I have if you are interested.

Was discussed with Mark In my C-120 topic. Page 2.

Where did you get that Idea from, James? I intend to do that on the C-120 eventually, to also power 3 point.. I've got a Disco pump on the shelf. I reckon your going to save me some head scratching.

Hi all whilst doing my topping with my John Deere 2520 I've also had my right hand man on our trusty old commando 800 which we recently got from Dibnah or Tom as you may no him by . So we decided to put our scarifier on her which she did a great job . I did how ever have to put some weigh on the implement ie a mini digger bucket to stop her bouncing about !

Well I think things are sorted Engine is running so much nicer today. After a bit of messing around, much thinking, and a light bulb moment, i realised the governor was fully open at half throttle, this explains the flatness. There is no way on earth this engine ran nicely, if at all, before it was removed by the last owner. With this set right i could then tweak the fine tuning and all seems good. There was a slight odd misfire, one when increasing the revs from idle and then intermittent on full revs, but this seems to have cleared up with some driving round the garden. I will test again tomorrow from cold and make sure So then got on and put my cement mixer back together. The real test will be fitting the cutting deck or pulling a trailer load of mud around can't wait! Thanks all

A recent addition to my Jobber collection is a complete unit with almost all of the tools that were offered for the Jobber... Its also shown today after a clean up with the project Jobber, which is an ongoing restoration...

Nice job Darren, as ever !!

This is a great post and has the makings of a good movie, in that it is a great story, it made me laugh (a lot) and had some sad moments (poor Limpy). Ian, I think you and Nigel are going to have lots of fun and I am looking forward to hearing the stories.

Ditto Maybe we need to ask the plough experts to start some MOM ploughing classes, it seems like a number of people want to have a go.

Looks good Ben My other half would go mental if she found that on our table!!
