I don't know how much support or help I'll be, but I'll give it a whack. I actually thought I did this already, but as with many other things it got laid aside and forgotten about, sorry. Alain

Been working my MG40 & Howard Gem, which is the lastest purchase to the fleet over the past couple of weeks. Thanks to Iain in Norfolk, the gem now has a recoil starter on the front. It runs very well

It's what my house is called because of the notoriety of the second owner

Sum more pics of rusty

Hi all, With the recent sale of the Brinly plough for over £600 and having no luck finding one and after seeing Marks amazing adaptation of a Barford atom plough I set about adapting a spare Barford atom plough I had. I only have a slot hitch at the moment so I adapted it to suit a slot hitch but no welding or modification was made to the plough I just used the original bolt holes which means it can be reverted back to a plough for a Barford atom or even changed for a sleeve hitch. I cut a part out of some 8" box section we had to make the L-shaped bracket and then used a piece off of an old forklift carriage for the bar which will go in the slot hitch and be welded to the underside of the L-shaped bracket. It's currently only G-clamped. I will cut the bracket down so there is no risk of it hitting the fender and so the adjustment lever has enough space to move. Tom

Thank you all very much, I appreciate it, hopefully I'll be on the road in the next few weeks, I passed my theory Saturday! Tom

hi all here are a few pics of machines ive collected recently the first machine is a ransomes 14" mower not sure of model and im in need of a grassbox for this second is the trusty nash boadicea and third is a jobber motorised garden fork minus the fork

Me too. I'd really like that if I was a few years younger. A fantastic and worth while restoration project.

That is just so cool, I am very jealous. Iain

Sounds as if all the work is paying off. Well done.

Thank you soooooo much Alain , we truly value your support & value your input here at Mom.

As the weather was bad today I decided i'd layout my display board. Picked them up cheaply off ebay.

Thingy works for me Same to you Norm Thanks mate.. Practice is by far the best way to get better at welding.. I'm getting there Despite being busy with Why Not for the past couple of day's I've not a great deal to show for it.. Have a better photo of the steering column and the UJ's. A new more sporty steering wheel has been fitted.. Don't worry, the badge in the center will be going and replaced with something more in keeping What has been taking a lot of time was cleaning all the rust and old paint off the rear wheels so I could fit the new bigger tyres.. I think it's one of those jobs we all hate, but it's worth the effort I've no idea what this came from, Nigel had had it for many years.. But it does make a great gear shift lever.. Just got to work out how/where to mount it and figure out a linkage..

Thanks Iain, yep firing her up is a real mojo booster, it's good to hear life in her though after firing her up I can't hear much I expect your wife was saying "What the hell is that noise"? Or something along those lines It certainly was a great day, thanks again for all your help mate :thumbs; I don't think it really sunk in until I started to edit the video.. Then the manic grin broke out More like William Wollard which is better than being the first ever Top Gear presenter Well, after getting distracted by a lathe, moving the workshop about, a random tree and making lot's of noise Thursday, I'm finally cracking on with the front brakes again and get the calipers mounted.. Add a bit of metal, that bit under my finger.. Throw in a couple of triangles to put some strength back, here's one of em. Garnish with a couple of long bolts including having to drill through the kingpin pivot spindle thingy! Tack welded together. A fully welded up caliper bracket.. I think don't think it will fall apart in a hurry One bolted on caliper, one to go.. Yes I will be cleaning up the welds at some point.. And yes the wheel does still fit

Evening all, well after the shock of finding a fully grown tree outside my workshop when I arrived! I started to sort out this mess of wiring.. And by the end of the day, the Beast has awakened
