Take lots of close-up pictures of everything you can Ewan, that way you can reference it. I always forget to take pictures and have to buy another tractor to put mine back together, at least that's the story I've been able to get away with for some time.

After many months of fun I have decided it's time to start the restoration, here's some pictures of what it's been up to before the strip down. Just before the strip down. First the fenders, seat pan and bonnet were removed to make things more easily accessible. The front grill was removed and the engine bolts undone so that the engine would slide forward and disengage from the clutch. I then lifted out the engine, took out the steering column and removed the dash tower Next I tipped the tractor on its side to make the linkages easier to get to, with a bit of heat and patience it all came apart. I then drained the oil from the transmission and removed the chassis from the transmission, next job is to remove the axel pin which is rusted solid and is proving to be a real pain

These are a couple of young lads from our side of the sheugh who go to vintage events and do silage demos. There other videos show them in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDyA4Dfv6pU&feature=youtu.be At the start of the below video you can see my daughter and myself in the background. Korin is in the green and yellow overalls and i am standing directly behind her. At 3:19 you can also see Gary (Minky) sitting on his Bolens HT20 in the background. https://youtu.be/qthw0vEr-8E https://youtu.be/Lh0X-HUD838 https://youtu.be/Nj9S6xzNhQM Edit, Other videos added.

Yesterday's project the spring centre, used in the milling machine or drill press to apply pressure to a tap when threading a hole and also keeps the tap straight. And this mornings work...a brass hammer with stainless tapered handle, the stainless was difficult to knurl and is shallow but still improves the grip. Almost too nice to use.

The title says it all, Ewan has spent half the summer on his cub. We've not got much footage, a bit of a play on a rainy Boxing Day seemed like a good idea. Until he conked out The little cub was towed back to the shop and Ewan will no doubt be doing a restore thread

You should have enough wheels Chris, so get cracking.

I wish you two were closer, i'm looking for some one to fab up a original muffler for my Wheel Horse D160 k341. I found a chrome heat shield from an old cycle, just need a 8.5"x4" body with an inlet and outlet centered out the ends, a type 1.

Some pictures of engines at last crank up of the year Sorry do not know much about them but someone will And something you do not see every day a butterfly in the end of December

Nice video.Wish I had a place like that to go for a drive.

The hole was where a wing/rear view mirror was bolted on (the hood came from a racing mower), but the hole has now gone along with a few extras that were not needed. And on to todays fun and games.. Yes both Nigel and I were at the workshop today, Nigel to escape seasonal tv, me to escape a house full of kids! Starting with a sheet of ally which we rolled a rib into. Nigel doing some light shaping of the plate. A check for fit.. And the almost finished dash panel, all it needs a a choke cable fitted.

Amazing, you two are two of the best fabricators I have seen. When finished Horse Gut will look dam near factory.

That's a nice find Paul and it really set off your WH very nicely. I got some very tarnished ones on my Ford 100 but only got three unfortunately.

I'll be there. Possibly three horses, definitely two.

You can count me in Mark, I'll be coming with as many Wheehorse's i can get in the van

Keep being asked for some photos so here's a few.
