Dial Indicator now lives in it's padded box-

'Bout time we had an update, Geordie Boy.

It must have been over a year since I have managed to find some tractor time and we currently do not have anything running. Instead of doing the sensible thing of looking at something that ran recently we decided to drag a tractor out of storage that last ran well over 10 years ago. It was such a long time ago I cant remember what was wrong with it and it is no good asking Joseph because he was not born then. I really like this tractor because it is very original and has a hydraulic implement lift. Joseph made an introduction video of the tractor So far we have flushed the fuel tank, rebuilt the carb and fitted replacement throttle and carb cables, before we ran out of time. Hopefully I can make some time to continue with it. Iain

used the bar mower for trimming up the field hedge. better than walking with a hand held trimmer. I have got some video of it mowing but the belts were slipping so not very impressive . video-1530295381.mp4 video-1530295770.mp4

Hi, I'm no expert with these engines, but I checked the records for an O & R 1 Hp Chainsaw model from early 1960s and it lists ratio as 16-1. Now I have had discussions with the Chainsaw Website owner in the past and he reckons that if you have an engine that has a Chromed bore, then that Petrol/Gas ratio can be increased safely to 25-1. My 72 Beaird-Poulan Chainsaw has a Chromed Bore and I use that ratio, as well as classic 40wt Mineral Oil (to avoid any issues with synthetic additives affecting the old Oil Seals). I also find that 25-1 is mentioned for these O & R engines on U-tube examples. As for a suitable Oil available in your Country, I found this example is basic Mineral with no Additives- OIL API-SA grade is devoid of Additives listed here- I'm sure there will be a fellow expert Countryman along at some stage to offer guidance, as I'm on the other side of the Pond. Hope this helps

Coming soon Norm. Lots of little tractor bits plus a bigger trailer lump. Correct Richard. Except that I was also beavering away when the workshop was freezing cold. Were not all softy's down south Norm. Wife did think I was mad though.

Can't rush a work of Art Norm . He is probably been beavering away since the workshop warmed up.

just trying to get the root's and stones out so it can i can get grass on it...i use that ripper for getting up the stones and small roots...

Now you need a collection contraption to pick up the trimmings

WOW, that doesn't take up much room. The Bolens QS16 was offered with a Kohler K341 single cylinder, very rare, but very capable. The T in QT was for Twin engine and the S in QS was for single cylinder

Nice job with those mean looking Blades . Presume you are Grubbing out the area below the trees for the purpose of surface root reduction?.
