of the dozen or so Briggs verticals I have worked on they are all 1" straight shaft with an inch long key (not half moon) The flywheel end on the other hand is always a 1" tapered with short very soft key that is designed to shear when things go wrong (don't ask how I know)

I said watch this space... new addition to the fleet. 2010 4WD John Deere 3036e with loader and transport box, will come in very handy around the garden... Here's Ewan having the first test drive

weld a nut into the broken shaft and screw a bolt in and then it will just wind the existing pulley off. I've never seen on seized as they rarely see any moisture - only oil! good luck

thanks guys... I might just have found my next present.... watch this space!

Happy belated birthday Chris!

oh my word! that looks splendid... top job

Low on entries this year, only 70 so far... last year we had 100. Only 17 wheel horses too, and half of them are the smiths and Chris Sutton! Final date for entries is end of April. You will only get in after that if you bring something pretty special...

late to the party... happy birthday old chap

anyone else on here making the trip?

Yeah, great story Chris heres ours... July 2010 when we picked up a Norlett from flookburgh followed by a C-101 in August from Otley then a raider 10 from Surrey in September by May the next year I had met @neil who had the most awesome collection even then and saw my first GT14 as well as his suburban and RJ. I think by then we were hooked but had new things in our sights! November 2011 saw my get the GT14 best not forget where it really started... May 2009 with Ewans first westwood

To be honest, the tractors with ploughs wouldn't have cut it. It took 3 hours with the digger as the drifts were 5 foot... luckily one one of my neighbours has a 200hp Massey with v plough....

I never made it to work! Always wanted to be snowed in. Bored of it now, if only I had a tractor running that would take a plough... we are missing Jakes tractor now it has been sold

We got more than we expected...

we've had a good few weeks of snow on and off. Here's a few pics for your delight

9-10th June at Newby Hall near Ripon, last year we had almost a hundred horticultural exhibits in a sea of over 1000 tractors! http://www.newbyhall.com/events/tractor-fest-made-in-yorkshire/ I also arrange the Northern Wheel Horse round up, this will be our 5th year. We peaked at 36 Wheel Horses two years ago, but am hoping to beat it this year... Who's coming and what are you bringing?

love the attention to detail on the pedal!

that's a great find Chris

I think I've had more in the back of my car from Ian's

That's why I built a hoist, makes life a lot easier. Hoist was £30 off that auction site.
