I asked my mate today if he still had theClinton engine. He said yes & will dig it out next week It was complete & had a fuel tank. he said it the same as Trojan trac but I cant be sure Its not far away from mine & Harrys house

Hi all just a few of my oddball machines

Also cracked on and into the gearbox this afternoon...... Quite clean internally, a little sludge, but overall not too bad. The bronze bushes on the drive axle are quite badly worn as well as the axle itself........ Damn!!! Axle was originally 1" diameter, now measures 0.985 at the most worn point. Bushes should be 1.125 o.d x 1.0 i.d x 1" Jim Beacon is going to help me with this issue! Maybe turn the shaft down and make bushes to fit? Will then need to make some spacers to make the wheels fit again!!! In the meantime will strip the handlebars down, dismantle the ploughing wheels and get them to the shot blasters. Here's the gearbox once opened up.........

I have used Peter slater,fuel injection engineer in the past. he has a website.Probably not the cheapest but does the job

He's made a very nice job of that, Darren. Seems a shame to paint it.

Hopefully the attached pdf I have created of the parts list/diagram & operating instructions will be useful in rebuilding the compressor set. Ohlsson & Rice Orline Compressor Parts List & Operating Instructions 1969.pdf David

Received a call from the steel fabricator today, saying the rotor cover was ready for collection...... Very pleased with the result!!! 3mm folded and cut to my exact cardboard template and the hinge tube welded on. It fits perfectly..... just needs painting!

Engine now complete, timed, points set, cylinder head refitted and flywheel tightened.......... Time to give it a try??? Here's a short video of the 1st time running........

Thats a cool bit of history to have! Great little machines

Here is a little guide as to what it supposed to look like , this model has the black rear wheels & silver front wheels . these little tractors were actually built buy Cecil Pond himself .

Wow , I'm delighted my little baby is is on the operating table this little tractor used to belong to the Straight from the horses mouth author Michael Martino and if I remember rightly he said it was a He ,
