A dozen or so gathered today at the Plough and Horses pub in Crowborough for the Sussex area Xmas Lunch A great lunch was followed by a cuppa and a natter at ours plus a look round my sheds, a good afternoon, thanks to those who turned up I also picked up a new machine from Phil Murrell, a Ransomes Cyclone mower looking in the brochure collection I found the right one for it.

I think he mentioned something like, he's reached the photo limit? Or something like that, don't hold me to it though, however if that's the case JP, the small fee to become a supporter sorts that out, well worth it,

http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/jpl-8050-h-professional-ultrasonic-cleaner-25l-a74jk I have a 2.5 litre cleaner as the attached link and I have found that it is just the right size for occasional use on most small engine carbs without incurring the expense of a larger perhaps more commercial machine, you would certainly struggle with a smaller capacity tank size. And a heated tank is a useful bonus. Interesting point about the effects of U/S ceaning on bearings I had heard the tale of vehicle wheel bearings suffering from Brinnelling during rail transport but not heard of this effect before.

Just send another ram up with Mark and I'll let you off.

NO NO NO Its a BOLENS Snowmobile

Slow day today, put the gauges back in this morning and went for a spin... Within 5 seconds the volt meter and rev counter stopped working the wires wrapped around the steering uj and ripped out of the back So lost an hour there soldering them back in Finally hooked up the choke linkage, then started on this The battery isolator and fuse box panel.

I can't count myself as one of em' Doug Thanks again...

'Pop Up' garage for a Wheelhorse ?

A Kawasaki?

Yes, but you don't know who's listening

Thanks mate though I'm not sure about a seasonal special, I'm even more "ba-humbug" than Nigel Duels anyone? Maybe not... A bit too much Progress has been made although it's hard to tell from the next photo.. The axle has been put back together, diff and half shafts installed.. The axle can now be unbolted from the chassis, and the axle mounting place on the chassis has had some reinforcing.. I really need to take some photos! One thing I always pride myself on is doing everything "In house" or even "In workshop", partly because it's nice to be able to say "I made that", and partly because I'd rather spend time making something than part with money So with that in mind yesterday I finally came up with an accurate and safe and strong way I could convert a Wh rear wheel with it's 5 bolt 4 1/2" PCD.. To fit the Reliant's 4 bolt 4" PCD I found this nice length of thick plate hiding on the bottom of a shelf in Nigel's "Handy scrap metal" store.. (Thanks Nigel ) which is enough to make 2 wheel centers from. Let the lathe work start The bad news is this steel is rather hard so it's going to take quite a while to turn each wheel center!

Another great video. It sounds to me like you and Nigel are building up to a Christmas special video.

And mine.

Nice work Mark, your Wh wiring is much tidier than mine

Tractor looks great Nigel, I see Dennis is supervising the job !!
