Black Horse and the C-125 basking in the morning sun, after a good wash.

Not long now Norm. Ailments have now delayed my progress. Only managed a few bits to date. Cooling Fan was distorted, damaged and pretty corroded (see pic 3 of my very first Topic post). After cleaning and straightening, I balanced it up by filing the outer edges. Then coats of primer, rubbing down in between them. After the first coat- The Throttle controls (and cables) on the machine were beyond saving and scrapped. I had to find a replacement. Not the best of condition, but initial clean up found it and the damage repairable- Plating was long gone, so had a coat of paint applied. The black bakelite type plastic lever ends were repaired using original Araldite mixed with lamp black. Final coat of Cellulose lacquer. Other parts were either original plating, or polished lacquered steel and body correctly painted black enamel- Machine had a 7/16" whitworth square nut fitted where it should have a hex nut, so I had to find and machine/file one down to similar shape and size- The finished article and painted fan will show up in the first pics of the refurbed machine in a week or two ............tbc

A little more progress on the G14, hopefully we will have a bit more time soon

And with all that grassed area, Half a Horse would run out of petrol before finding something to run into.

Looking at all that grassed area, I reckon a plough and a few implements are in order. Just think. Home grown spuds, cabbage, beetroot etc. Chickens and ducks.

Another informative 'How to' video. A cool looking beast the HT23

Very good video Joseph.
