This project was laying in the back of the shed for 5 years , but when I sourced the correct engine (villiers mark 15 OHV) last year finally made a start. It was quiet a mess , but came with a plough, Discs, and large ridge plough, Tool frame and i also bought a Rotavator attachment separately 2 years ago. It was very oily ..so first job was dismantle and spray with "oil eater" it was messy to dismantle with oil everywhere from a leaking gearbox (worn bronze wheel bushings) Here is the new bronze wheel bush fitted..the old worn ones caused the wheels to wobble!! The gearbox fell off the bench ..cast iron is not strong !! big setback. But welded okay Its chain drive so gearbox needs to be oil tight Better view of welding repair Its drive gearbox (upper) is an albion with a reverse..this was seized but managed to free it up. Filled with non ep gear oil..as it has bronze phosphorus components Finally got to priming after shot blasting most parts (paint was very tough possibly contained lead) Finished in John Deere Yellow missing from pic is heavy front weight. . Engine is great ..good starter and burns clean. Now must start on all the attachments

had this bolens in , the briggs lump has been nothing but trouble so we have done an engine swap, it pulls like a train now

this is a short vid I found, during the build, first drive before the final build and paint https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgNCEmOcb6k

As some of you may or not know. Today Liesa & I had a little boy, we have called him Jacob & he must be the youngest member on here now He will look forward to looking at all of daddys tractors when he gets older

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
