Van on re done pitch.

Thanks Mark, yeah it is rather awesome gear lever.. The gear shift will be kinda like WRC cars... 1 forward, 4 back.. Bike gears but hand shifted Well, it's been an er.. interesting kinda day!! Things started well with a frame being made to add some strength to the fender pan.. This frame will be welded to the pan and some extra cross members put in for the seat to bolt to, once I get a seat that's not got and splits in it! And then the rose joints I ordered for making steering arms turned up in the post. So I set to, cutting up some thick metal.. A quick mock-up later to check that the steering would work.. And this is where a slight mistake was spotted... Can you spot it? Turn the steering wheel to the right.... And the wheel hubs turn to the left!!! I think "Oops" is the correct word As I said... An interesting day

Had a bit of a change from painting today. The track rod ends on my C-125 were badly worn, so I fitted the ones off the C-121. Today I made some new ones to replace them. As you can see, they are the worn ones cut down and ends threaded to suit the rose joints. They'll be painted when steering is set.

Well I have 3 LF in my shed so maybe thats why Andrew

ya got me on that one, I'm proud of my self for recognizing it.

Or even trailer park / pitch

When in Rome..... Or in this case, "Jolly Olde"... :D

Here's some other shots including the before pics.

That's an awesome gear lever, kinda like a what they use in wrc rally cars, pull back to go ip, push forward to drop down

You need my tractors autographs, they do all the work. Except for the Bolens I haven't restored any of them. I am blessed with having them, but the real tribute goes to those that made them and those that kept them up. I have 17 now and many, many implements, I hope this collection can grow, stay intact and out live me.
