Done a bit of fabricating on the dethatcher today, now it fits the slot hitch on the Rowcrop and is useable, here's some pictures for you to look at

The faster "Why Not" went, the louder the air horns. The downside is that the pipework would need clearing of liquid manure after every run. Worth a thought though.

Done the hardest part of stitching the seams, namely the bottom edges that will be captive under the folded base edge. My spacing and straightness of the seam drastically improved after the first 30cms and past the first crimped corner seam- Thankfully most of this bit is out of sight. It's a bit fiddly with trying to keep the tension on the yarn, but quite satisfying despite the loooong time it takes me. The 1/4" diameter Rod frame was in a mess (bare metal originally) and it had welded to the old canvas with the rust. Had a lot of cleaning and straightening to do, but it now has a coat of Kurust, Oxide Primer and Black Enamel. A trial fit of the Canvas with the Base is looking good- I think I've worked out the finishing sequence. Look's like I'll have to stitch the top edge over the Rod Frame after finally fitting/locking the canvas to the base, which will be interesting. Got to do it nice as this top part will show. That's my weekend booked up.

Went out early this morning and when I got home look what awaited me. So the afternoon was well spent. The result being this. I'll get ATS in Wigton to fit the rears on Monday.

It's never fun!! I've made an adapter thingy to power the air horns from one of the rear tyres... The downside is the more horny you get the more lopsided you become Hi Max, I'm not really sure as I tend to upload the bigger videos overnight.. I'd guess maybe 4 hours which may seam a long time but the video is full 1080p hd at 50 frames a second.. The vid is 1.28GB is size, the raw footage comes in at a massive 5.19GB! While were on the subject of videos, I've just order a cheaper version of a GoPro camera, if it does what it says on the tin (ok, box) there will be some interesting on board footage to come I didn't get as much done yesterday as I would of liked, but any progress is good progress The slimmed down wiring loom is now fully wrapped up in black tape, 90% routed and plugged in.. Working out where to put the voltage regulator took quite a while.. In the end I made this bracket and welded it to the chassis. The "open" design is to let air to the back of the regulator to help keep it cool. I also make up a couple of these.. Which were welded to the battery box/tray thingy. Ideal for mounting the starter solenoid.. Oh, and a bit of news... Nigel and I were explaining to a Gent yesterday about WN and telling him that we were struggling to find somewhere to do some speed testing, and the car park is just too small.. The said Gent said, "No problem, bring it up to my place"..

alan i wondered when you would find us enjoy the site and let the members see some of your vast collection ENJOY

We have members from lots of different countrys with lots of different politics, this forum is my meditation and i for one hate politics,there are plenty of other discusion forums for puting the world to rights

Hi Paul, I've had the odd lurk, so I thought I'd better join.....

Hello Alan, you have found My Old Machine then Welcome aboard !!

Found these today under the bench, there's some more somewhere ( i must store things the same in one place ) the one nearest the camera has cast pulleys the others have pressed pulleys

Great job and it really looks the part on the back of the tractor A drop of red paint and it will look like a factory attachment. Iain

Wow looks a cool machine well done

That is a NICE haul of Harrow spikes!!!! Your lucky the authorities weren't close by as there maybe a law against getting that kind of deal.

I wish you'd mentioned the pipe about three weeks ago. I could have brought some down to Rural Past Times. We threw out four 2ft lengths. SWMBO used them for growing leeks.

Try and find some one on the gasboard or waterboard max they have plenty of it i thought you were going to do a jump when you headed for that mound

just out of curiosity, how long does it take you to upload a 22min video?

How are you planning to fit the dukes of hazard air horns now you have removed the horn circuit?

In the cutlery drawer?
