Nearly two years later, painting complete, wiring done and up and running, Below is how the little C-81 looks today.

Or with a plough behind "Why Not" and a heavy boot on the noise pedal.

Hi all first thanks to the Fife plooman for adding the picture yes just to confirm my recent purchase was indeed a Trusty Steed bought from fleaby here is some pics well done all who guessed correct

The price of property and land on this crowded island is unbelievable. A property like that in this part of the country would be hitting £400k at the very least; more around the Home Counties. Your friend's house is a very nice and a good price too.

Hopefully this shows the layout better than my explanation

The shaft with the clutch attached is attached to a shaft coming out of the axle. The shaft coming out of the axle either has a spine or a flat, depending on the axle type. It is not easy so see but I would suggest the next step is to see if that is also turning. If you are lucky the problem could be the joint between the two. Hope this helps Iain

Yes, funny lot these Americans. My number 2 son married an American about 18 years ago ( ex pen pal ) and now lives in Chickamauga, Georgia. After quite a few visits I have almost managed to understand the strange words, and even stranger habits, especially those of my sons daddy in law. He is as crazy as a coot. Luckily we are both tarred with the same brush so get along well, even though he doesn't talk properly.

There is always NZ or Australia, better weather and you don't have to try and understand Americans and their version of English

$189'000 ' wow 124'000 quid This is all you get for that sort of money here in UK Rip of Britain Another 5 years in this country then I'm off Beautiful house your friend is selling Wished it was nearer

Alan, you have to squint real hard and have a poor power source that makes the screen flicker, then they move. That's what i have here. The largest power generating station in four states lies not 2 k from my front door and I have to by power from an electric cooperative, that buys power from someone that buys power from someone else and then in the end gets it me. If I follow my electric line I bet they go straight to the power plant and were all being given the shaft.

You did good Andrew, Archaeology doesn't pay well. I'm interested in the cultural aspect of ancient civilizations. My capstone project, and hopefully my Masters study will be centered around Biopsycological evolution, in other words how society has changed the way we humans think through out time. I'm afraid that the passion and fight is being bred out of humans, a lion is a lion, because he always stays a lion. We human change, from a hunter gather society to one of a horticultural society, then a agrarian society to industrial and beyond. We are no longer masters of our own domain and it shows in the way we think. We are like zoo bears, we still look the same, but instead of feeling hungry and hunting food the zoo bear knows the sound of the dinner plate.

This is as it was when I bought it of Martin. Bonnet and rear fender still required painting.

Also the Chassis etc.

Martin did an excellent job of the hood stand.
