Incredible machines, especially the octopus. I am unsure how well the octopus would work on my hedges and ditches, as none of the boundaries are straight. Would be fun to watch the operator try though Iain

Decided to get some parts together and rebuild this engine for a BeJay winch I recently bought. The engine was covered in grime and very stiff to turn over. Since it needed to be completely disassembled just to clean it, might as well do a complete rebuild and document with some pics Here's the winch The engine completely disassembled and parts cleaned Some of the NOS parts to be used. Cylinder, rings, connecting rod, complete seal/gasket kit, coil, flywheel, points, carb, ect.

I stumbled across this video while browsing YouTube and thought you all might like to see it.. It looks a bit of a handful to drive but does a great job Lot's of other strange machinery on the Tractorspotter channel as well, like this tulip bulb harvester....

Time to install the crank into the case Crank installed into case, then bearing for connecting rod. then connecting rod with pistion

Started with the piston and connecting rod. The new rod has a slot to let more oil into the bearings New rod installed. Then did the rings I use this motor assembly grease on everything which was recommended from Webhead Then decided to replace the crank seal in the induction part. Had to pick the old one out with a small dental pick tool

Thanks James, it will get there sooner or later.. Sooner get's my vote Not much to report, I have made a rather big washer.. Which will become the new center for this wheel.. Which with some holes drilled will be able to bolt on the new front wheel hubs.. Here's one of them in it's "before being cut up" state.. This wheel won't be fitted, but while I had it to hand I thought it would be too good a photo opportunity to miss

that octopus thingy was incredible, that guy got a bit close on the side didn't he ;-) james

Seen the octopus before, bet that's a handful to operate unless you have 8 hands

Fantastic machines. Thanks Ian.
