Small update, Bendy finally has an exhaust Cue a piece of child's swing, a table leg and lots of holes Filled with fibreglass and welded up And a nice stainless heat guard

I didn't appreciate how long our grass was until Saturday so some serious grass cutting was in order. The first job was to service the push mower so my wife could forge ahead with the smaller bits of grass and then sort out my son's electric toy car so he could tow trailers of grass cuttings from the push mower. I have been side tracked recently with new purchases and neglected the repairs needed on the main grass cutting tractor, the Bolens HT23. I did attempt to use it but it was too sick, those Kohler twins are a pain. I then spent the rest of Saturday hooking out a deck for a Bolens tube frame tractor which was hidden at the back of one of my storage sheds. The plan for Sunday was an early start, rebuild the tubeframe deck, drop it on a tractor and forge ahead. When I opened the bedroom curtains on Sunday morning I was faced with this surprise from my wife. I cut most of it out with the tractor today but as the push mower is set lower it can still be seen. So if you are planning to fly into Norwich fleapit International airport look out for it. Iain

Gary the ghost had a quick spin around the yard https://vimeo.com/125997307 And checked to make sure it fitted in the "horse box" All in all not a very productive day but it will get there Cheers Darren If at first you don't succeed Use a bigger hammer

PM you Mark. Looking very good and I can't wait to put the finishing touches to the 800.

Hopefully it will only be burning rubber you can smell A little bit more progress has been made... Brake pedal moved inwards a bit and what will be the throttle in place.. Sometimes the best solution is the simplest one.. As you know I am using two bike master cylinders for WN's brakes, one front brakes, one rear, but I also need a way to set the balance on them, or more braking at the back than the front as it's otherwise known.. I did look at brake bias valves but other than Chinese cheap rubbish they were all rather expensive! I could of built a linkage using cams to apply different pressure to each master cylinder until a thought hit me.. As you will of seen by the photo in my last post I had been thinking of having the MC's next to each other... But what would happen if one was above the other? Taaa Daa The higher you go up the lever the more it goes forward, so the top MC (rear brakes) gets more pressure and sooner than the bottom (front brakes) MC All I need to do is weld the MC frame to the chassis, change the lever bit for something a bit stronger and connect it via a rod to the brake pedal.. A little fine tuning will be needed I expect, but I'm rather hopeful this system will work

Today I discovered our main house drain was blocked, out came the digger dozer with a vengeance, I dug a trench 4ft deep and 14m long through heavy clay soil in less than an hour, that's good enough for me!
