Had a run up to expeatfarmers today, to have a look at his latest toy he's been working on. Still work to be done hydraulic wise but runs nice.

This is my latest project what I have gained from a old bloke I know. I spent a couple of nights the past couple of weeks getting it running for him then he said he was selling it so I got it for a really good price. I'm going too take the trip mechanism off and make it hydraulic tipping and restore it

Aaww.. Don't cry Chris Hi Andrew, I have started recording life at the new shack, maybe a video about it at the end of the week.. Nope the music is not Metallica, it's called "Slow night at the saloon" found here.. http://teknoaxe.com/Home.php Yeah it is a bit sad Mark, but long term more than worth it.. Very true Paul, better than it being scrapped... The buyer is going to send me some photo's when he get's it put back together, though something tells me it won't be going up in quite the same way it came apart.. Thanks Iain More progress today in the workshop.. Some tools and decoration up.. The shelves will be moved to somewhere a little easier to reach, low bench for the blasting cabinet which put's it at a nice height to use, and some more decoration up.. Lot's more shelves filled up with random stuff and Wheel Horse parts.. And finally some more decoration.. It just needs a plug putting on to make it light up... A big thank you to Ben for this.. Cheers mate

It's came a long way Jonathan,

Been out most of the weekend, but managed to finish the handbrake. Pretty pleased with yet another reuse of a wheel horse part and it works perfectly Here it is off and on

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

Couple of Ransoms cylinder mowers in expeatfarmers Ransom collection. I'm sure he'll give the low down on them sometime.

Hi all me and Wheel horse Sam went and collected this today it's a nice looking machine it's wanting a few jobs doing to it and the paint work could do with sorting the first thing we noticed on getting it back that it wouldn't run just right , so we gave it a bit of work to do towing the 6 ft roller and it still wasn't happy so I decided to strip the carburettor and was I in for a shock the float bowl had been siliconed up etc so whe I stripped it down the in sides was full of silicone etc any way I cleaned it out put a new seal in and put it back on and it sounds a different machine!

great video and so sad...

At least the shack has found a new lease of life Ian

Ian, I look forward to seeing your new videos from your new shack. BTW is the music Metallica?
