Hi All One or two pics of my Gutbrod 1032 getting ready for the season the ploughs are set at 24 inches the same as the front tire centres

If it's used as a getaway vehicle, witnesses will give conflicting descriptions.

Hi All Here are some pics of us trying to make something of the rubbish grass we have I am training an apprentice to to the hard work We tried double tines then tried single tines with wheels plus 56 lbs weight the latter seems best Will update as we go along

Thats good news Kev, saves me a stamp. Next time your down the site can you throw some spuds in the working area, Ive got a lifter now and want to try it out, lol

They look better, stuff always looks nice when back from the blasters

Happy birthday mate, hope you have a good day with lots to drink and a big cake

Did a little bit today and made the mounting rod so they both have the same fixing, its just a length of 3/4 rod with a bit of flat steel welded to it

Hi all progress has been a little slow but it's still progression the wheels have now been shot blasted and being primed as we speak hoping to get tyres on over the bank holiday here's what I have so far

Best Wishes on your Birthday, hope you have a great day

Happy birthday johnathan

Hi All If you are ploughing the inside edge of the front wheel must be in line with the inside edge of the rear wheel this allows the tractor to run true.? But when you are drawing furrows or drills for potatoes The middle of the front tire must be in line with the middle of the rear wheels If the middle to middle of the front tires read 24 inches you can set your ploughs at 24 inches, ect The Gutbrod tractor has sliding rear axles so that you can move them to line up with the front ones The gutbrod tool bar comes with two ridgers If you are doing it up for show you can add three and see how it looks PS one of our shows this year the theme is potatoes when I fix mine up I will post some pics George S

Now that Bendy is fully hydraulicised it was time to get test the plough. Yup, it works....

Picked it up today from the shot blasters and considering its 50 or 60 years old and been buried at Johns for who knows how long its come up ok. Its now had a heavy coat of red oxide and waiting for it to dry.

Jonathan, (expeatfarmer), asked me if I'd like a trip out to a local scrap/reclaim merchants. Object of the exercise was to see if he could find some pallet racking and have a ratch about. We had a good day and visited two reclaim places and another that sells/breaks mowers etc. Unfortunately no suitable racking was found. But we didn't return empty handed. At the first place I got two short window sash weights to hang on my plough. Nothing at the second, but at the third we both got items. I'll leave Jonathan to say what he got. I got this roller. 10" dia x 37" wide. Will require modifying to make a ballast roller and a frame made. At the place I got the roller, we asked about Wheel Horse wheel weights. "I had some", he said. "But couldn't sell them". "I think I threw them in the scrap, but I'm not sure". We had a search around but no weights to be found. Not surprisingly really, with stuff buried under more stuff. He's going to have a look and let us know if he finds them. Here's hoping.

no need for sighting poles, just a steady hand on the wheel

Not bad for your first try on Bendy, your soon get the knack with some more playing

Only kidding Here's the second go, needs setting up and a better driver See what I mean
