  1. I was lucky with my 12" moldboard, paid £300 for it and a snowplough, when a week later a snowplough sold for £800 the 8" barford plough we modified was about £30 from a show
  2. I think that's the case with all restorations, you never get what you put into them... unless they are for free and only need a coat of paint. it never works that way... though the missus thinks I've a few hundred in all my collection - hope she checks on here and redsquare when I croak it! can't let her sell them for a few hundred
  3. I have a model list on wheel-horse.co.uk It's a 68 lawn ranger and should have a tecumseh h60 if it's original.... There's a few of those, James and Paul have one, and there's one up in Scotland.
  4. Good point, is it tin hood or fibreglass hood....?
  5. Is it a teccy engine? I might have a v70 pull start...
  6. What's the engine? Might have a v70 pull start off our broken ranger engine...
  7. Go for it! You know you want to...
  8. Hmm, guessing you picked up the one round the corner from you.....
  9. Today's update... Beside the new headlight unit, I have braved the cold to just about finish the wiring. Which whilst it's my strongpoint, I get zero enjoyment from! Wired the lower dash panel and used a PC style connector so it's removable. Tested it.... It works! Plus I now have switch on and off able lights
  10. Hi all, I once made my own lense and added led lights on project C4. This time it is project bendy in need of lighting and whilst I have a cast reflector, I though hell...why not make the whole lot... I bought some really nice 12v led bulbs with reflectors knowing I could mount them quite easily. So out with a sheet of ally and a template Some 46mm holes and push them through Cut a machine piece of lexan and add a new headlight sticker And here it is in place on bendy When the hood is painted I will mount it all properly
  11. ...at least we evolved and developed opposable thumbs this died of the border
  12. I've seen your house from the other side too, looks pretty impressive!
  13. I have a plan for it... but not sure how weatherproof it will be

    Wheel horse 706

    if I had the space I'd love to take an earlier horse off your hands - one of my boys would too
  15. I'd say £2500 is closer to the top end - if everything is original and works... the plough is not a wheel horse one. In the condition this is in then I'd say £700-900 for the tractor because of the hitch and everything appears straight and original. Cultivator is worth £300 plus, topper might be £400 or even more as they are pretty scarce - esp on CAT 0 I'd have £1500 in the package - if I had the money, space and permission from the missus
  16. A rare find these days, the tiller and topper are even rarer!
  17. you can apply dry if you mark out with masking tape for a straight edge - or you can use soapy water and squeegee the water out both work. For small pieces I apply dry, starting by removing only a small amount of the backing to stop it all sticking at once!
  18. First show bronte gathering in yorkshire 8-9th may, next Newby hall in June, flookburgh steam rally in July and driffield steam rally in august.
