Got chassis and trans degreased and primed today. Not the ideal weather for painting, as though dry it's a tad cold for spraying outside. with a east breeze. Looks like I've missed a bit. Best go and do it before any comments from a certain quarter.

Found a complete set of seals this morning, so they were fitted. A bit dubious of the input shaft one, but when the trans' is mated with the chassis, I'll fill the trans' with hydraulic oil. Turning over for a while will show if the seals are sealing. Apart for a bit scraping and wire brushing of chassis and some bits, that's all up to press. Oh! And no photo's.

does anyone know the correct colour code or name for Wolesley Merry Tiller red and white also Kohler engine blue code

The Kubota B6100 Story go's on. The three cylinder D650 engine has had a few issues in this tractor but once it gets running it was fine and had loads of power. Howevery starting has been an issue loads of smoke and loads of heat plugs. I overhauled the diesel injectors and this had no improvement. I relented and purchased a diesel compression tester. At very best i was getting around 220psi on the best cylinder. The book states it should be up around 400 to 460 psi. OPPS !! After researching the costs I could purchase the parts from ether Kubota or a chines copy company. I was advised to go genuine. I turns out that I have a very early engine 000236. As the bits are on order the clean up begins. I am going to have new liners pressed in and all new bearings ,seals and gaskets. Will update as the build go's on
