Hi Norm, not sure on the size, I will have to have a measure though the odd shape will make it intersting to work out. I should point out that a small part of this will be a shed for all that garden stuff, so I will be losing a bit of space..... But it will keep my Wife happy, so worth it Thanks mate, I hope to be in long before silly season, but that depends on the weather and how much energy I have! Hi Alan, yeah you can't beat a wooden shack, without heating they feel much warmer than a brick/concrete garage.. A few more photo's coming. A small update.. The next bit of frame has gone up, the opening with the two planks fixed accross is where the shed (not workshop) door will go.. well, it will once I've cut a couple of inches off the base and fixed the rotten door bottom. The last remaining open bit of the small end wall has been clad filling in that gap, but I've not taken a pic of that. Rob roughly putting the next door post in place to have a look.. Speaking of doors... Here are the two workshop doors roughly in place.. One door isn't quite wide enough, and as there isn't a long enough bit of wall to get the doors side by side without loosing a window, round the corner they have to go It's amazing what you can get find after a quick chat with the local builder who happened to be walking past.. On the off chance your reading this Sam, thanks for the window This window will go in the back wall at the top to let the sun and heat in.. Free light and warmth.. Worth the agro of taking the wall panel out to fit the window..

Yep ime with Paul aswell

Those two should keep you busy for a while Chris I'm with Paul.. Why not build a tricycle and a 8" 4 wheeler.... Like you I'm not keen on the original very small wheels..

Dug this out from the storage shed and thought it would make a little winter project, I’ve got another one somewhere in bits so more rummaging when time permits. A little challenge to build the pair together for next year’s shows.

Bought this the other day had a crap Tecumseh engine in with carb and governed problems So ime stuffing a Briggs in it, but it didn’t fit so had to raise it up 1 inch , cut the air filter in half and make another exhaust

Found this model H O & R engine at our local auction today.

Vintage Horticulture and Garden Machinery Working Day Sunday 1st March 10.00 AM start Stanfield, Norfolk Along the B1145 Proceeds to the East Anglia Air Ambulance This will be our 11th year and hope to make it bigger and better then ever. this year we have a new venue and layout. We have every thing from push hoes, rotavators to match ploughing with classes for small walk behind, large walk behind and ride-ons. We also have Working Stationary engines, working horse and static displays. We like to encourage the smaller tillage machines by having a working play pen.

Its about time you got a project started. Doing the carb on the h as we seek Its about half done .

I did wonder if you were thinking of your truck when you did the title

I think ime going senile ian 😂 changed it now

Nothing like having a wooden shed with windows Ian. My workplace is a brick / breeze block garage with no natural light unless the up and over door is open. Internal door into the house is handy though for tea and biccy supply's. Keep the photo's coming.

Looking good Ian, looks like your be in before Christmas

Looks a reasonable size, Ian. How big?

Been messing around with the front end and would like your comments please. Im not a lover of the 4 inch wheels so want to swop them for 8 inch but I’ve enough stuff to make two trikes, if i fit the 8 inch wheels I’m going to use the original narrow front axle, the trike setup looks a bit high but will be 4 inches lower when fitted. So what do you all think ?.

Managed a bit of time in the shed today, first job to find a 3 speed transmission luckily the first one i came across was a good one, all free and everything’s turning as it should even has the hubs on’ The towbar pin is rusted in as usual so that will need a little attention.

Got a bit done this afternoon, what a task to get the axle mounts out of a chassis lots of sawing and grinding. All done now, at least I’ve got 2 chassis’s the same length with the same mounts.

.As I couldn’t find the original chassis ( must have used it on something else) I’ve had to use a later type. Ive 5 chassis’s hanging in the store all the same and are 5 inches longer than the Ranger and the front axle mount is different so a bit of head scratching and a cuppa out came the chop saw.

As its been raining most of the day I had some time in the shed and found some parts. The red one checks out as 1968 and I’ve had it since 2014 and the blue one is 1969 think i bought that in 2007/8

Here are some pictures of my O&R Model H (1700 R.P.M.) the serial number has been removed from this one and the coil HT wire has a join where it has been repaired. David
