The posty brought gifts this week. A new seat, battery and some led running lights. In between showers managed to get a bit more done... Firstly mounting my new seat, a kab p2 which is the same as the original raider had. The seat holes and spring holes don't match so the base has two new brackets made up. Then some light brackets on the front fenders And with running light fitted View from the new seat Finally new pin for the handbrake turned down and a teeny bit cut out of the fender so the handbrake clears. And not forgetting finally getting some primer on the hood and seat base before a quick stick together pic.

As you all know I bought one of these on Wednesday without the 2 front mowers, looking on "you know where" up pops another one with all the mowers and no engine , well why have one when I can have two. It was too wide to fit in the van so had to drag it in sideways so getting it out might be fun. but in the mean time here's some photos

well ime doing an engine swap on the 853 next week the briggs thats in it is nothing but trouble so i will start a thread on it soon it might upset some of you purists though

Heres another photo of it now its out of the van

By hard you mean daft? Welding fuel tanks or gas cylinders without purging them is mental

Lord Mower Land does look the part. Is that the old fashion version of an electronic tag he is wearing around his neck

Let production commence.

Thanks Andrew, it was a shack decorating pressie from Ben Hi Iain, yep getting organized now though I've not found enough space for everything to have a home yet.. Some stuff may have to stay boxed up for a little while longer. I'm going to try and keep the new place tidy.. It's so nice to be able to get around the big bench without having to move or climb over stuff as it was in the old shack.. Well chaps, a couple of big milestones were passed today.. The first being I finally wired in my little radio to some big speakers via and old stereo thingy so now I no longer have to listen to tinny sounding rock music from the DAB radios little speaker and I now have the sound power to drown out Nigel's singing The second milestone we shall get to in a bit.. The workshop is now about 85% done.. Ok, I still need to bolt the lathe motor and pulley down.. An organized bench.. Quite possibly the tidiest and cleanest this big bench will ever look.. It's nice to have the bench space to bolt my sheet metal folder on to And as the big project bench was looking tidy I thought I'd take a few photo's of it as well And the second big milestone?? Well with the workshop being 85% done it means it's done enough to be operational.. (The remaining 15% will be done as it's needed).. So the only thing to do was to have an opening ceremony, for which the local royalty was called in to do the honors... It gives me great pleasure to introduce the Mayor of Mower Land "I pronounce this workshop open"!!

I think it's a good little place, not many places have displays like this
