managed to get back on this project after finishing the kubota, after making the bonnet it dawned on me that i could not fill the radiator up cos the nose cone was in the way,and i couldnt make a hole for tha rad cap cos it came halfway across the bulge on the nose, so i welded the bonnet to the nose and made a big hinge, why i was at it i cut up an old rotosythe grass box and used the louvers from it to extend the body the reason i have done this is cos the engine looks so small in the space and needed closing in a bit found a model to hold a bit of metal

Been doing some log runs with the Gazelle for our log-burner The new engine is running very well, I just need to get round to doing a couple of paint touch ups and a new seat. (I blurred Dad's face because I'm not sure if he wants to appear online ) Also there's a guy on YouTube restoring one of these, I enjoyed watching his video series on it:

No... No chance I agree

Over the years I have tried a number of ways to reduce the effort involved with firewood movements and the latest is a shed on wheels. The time between Christmas and New Year is about the only time I get for projects and this was my project last year. When a few friends first saw what I made they could not stop laughing and thought I was mad. So before I add a picture to the post I will try to justify my madness. I tend to work long hours, have two small kids and all the heating/hot water in our house is from a woodburner. In the winter I was finding that I would get home from work, help with the kid’s bedtime routine, collect the next days wood and then go to bed. I had tried a number of things over the years to reduce the time moving wood and this has been the most successful as the wood handling is at a minimum. I move the trailer shed to my wood store once a week, fill it, drag it to the back door of the house and then we can just use the wood as we need it. Anyway enough trying to justify it, here a picture of the loaded trailer shed heading back to the house. The trailer shed has to go over boggy ground so it has lots of nose weight and I always pull it with a strong tractor. It is not unusual for it to sink into the ground a number of inches as it is being pulled. It is interesting to watch the ground move. I keep meaning to weigh it full to see just how much it weighs full. Iain

I've not seen one of those before, a nice find James What's your plan for it, adding any extra wheels to this one?

Hope you had a good day mate

All the Best James.

Happy Birthday James, have a good one mate

That's something we should get Nigel to do with his spaz machine

In racing colours

That guy seems friggin excited about those tractors but better not let the kids watch this one with all that bad F@#king language, eh.

Suppose I had better turn up then...
