Hello all, I found an old phone memory card from 2012 and upon searching through it I found the pictures of when I first picked up the wheel horse raider 10 and once I had cleaned it up here is a few comparisons to how it looked, to how it looks now. Bringing it home, I'm surprised the trailer even took the weight! pleased to say that trailers gone now! finally home, and yes... it started to rain! removed the cutting deck making the shed opening wider and backing it into the shed next to the old racer i had. after a good old wash how it is now..

I popped in today, the coffee was lovely

Or another tractor shed, their 10 x 5 (feet)

I've finally made up my mind and bought an Abac 3HP (photo attached). The suspicions of one member were confirmed when I read on the internet that 80% of non-industrial compressors are made by one factory in China and merely painted and badged as required. I spoke to one 'well-known' company asking them about what I had read and they said that there was a load of nonsense on the internet and that I shouldn't believe it. I did not tell them that I had read this on their Company Website!!! P.S. I've now got to work out what filters/connections and airlines I need.

I tried patience but she threatened to tell my wife and as for percy!!!

Started the task of fitting wooden swamp blocks to the new WR8 tracks. Firstly cut 128 blocks of geen oak ( enough for the WR8 and digger dozer ) Set up a simple jig to drill and counter bore two holes in each block. using a router I cut rebates on the back side of the blocks to clear the track rubbers and trimmed the blocks to width with a power plane. The green oak is full of tannin which appears to be corrosive so for a few pence more I used stainless machine screws washers and nuts to bolt the pads on. To start with I made the blocks one at a time and bolted them on but this was apparently painfully slow progress so I took ten blocks at a time through each stage rewarding myself with a cup of coffee or a puff on my pipe after each set. Listening to Planet Rock turned up loud also eased the tediumand the back ache. The digger pads are slightly different in that they bolt on above the tracks using an alloy spacer block , I have the pads ready to dress but not started fitting them yet. I have been using a small Clarke bench drill and found it very disappointing that the spindle turns out not to be vertical to the work table such a shame that for a few quid more the tool could be really useful.

Got a van load of these, shame to burn them

I'd be interested Give me first offer please Dam just noticed the $ sign

Thanks Ian, number three well on the way...
