Really pleased with it now I've put it together, worth £15 to save my back.

Hitched the rear discharge deck to the C-125 Wednesday, to give the green and verges a trim. To my surprise, I couldn't get the drive belt to tension properly. The mule drive adjuster was reaching it's limit before the belt was tight. It was fine last week. As I was in Carlisle yesterday I went to get a new belt. It had to be ordered but came today as promised. Now the standard size is 1/2" x 98", but as the used belt was so slack, I ordered a 1/2" x 97". So on the new belt went. Only that wouldn't tighten either. Oh sugar! Something somewhere is not right. Had a good look around. Lifted the deck. Lowered the deck. Twiddle this. Twiddled that. Had another look at the lift arm. A look at the Tach-o-Matic and..... Oh you thick b****r! The bar that holds the front of the deck wasn't located properly. It was lying flat on the deck, instead of being upright and the fork located where it should have been. Drop deck, release the Tac-o-matic, lift bar, lift deck, lock Tach-o-Matic, adjust belt and off we go a mowing. The times I've had that deck on and off over the years. Practically every time I mow for cleaning afterwards. How I missed the front bar wasn't located properly I don't know.

Would be plenty of room for it in the sprinter on the return trip from Newby.

Hi all More work from small holding I have ploughed. rotovated now this is my first attempt at drawing drills for potatoes at a small holding in the village I believe if it had been ploughed and worked in the winter months it would have been better but very happy with results. the Merry tiller is a very versitile machine Also a pic of my end of the day drink

Just a quick note I have started on my Hako engine now un seized very good compression no spark yet, will it be ready for Kelso? may need assistance from Rollo-Man for assembly
