tis jcb yellow

Found time to give it a lick of paint

4 to 6 stud wheel adapter for my next project....

Me too

Got there in the end...

Borrowed dad's, will have to find one at the right price.

Sorted! thanks for the help and offers!

Doh colour blind!

Husky or kubota?

I know that engine well... B-111 or Westwood W11 or Dixon ZTR424, etc....

hehe, thats my 'teaching stick' for the youngest

The weather was reasonable on Saturday so we made start on collecting leaves. I blew them into piles and the kids collected and tipped. Had a play up the field moving boulders and collecting some gravel... that wet clay clay stuff is heavy... the trailer sinks with 1/2 ton and needs two tractors to move it. and eventually even C4 bogs down and loses the will to live. I need a trailer with flotation tyres on. That or I need to stop overloading the trailer

It's where the spring touches the crack was horizontal! I can only assume it's a combination of age, cold and the tension of the spring... I may use a rubber band to hold it down when the glue dries...

Ive glued a patch on.... see if that holds

And.... nothing like keeping us in suspense!

Cant find it! Found my four jaw, and quick 3 jaw and a heap of bits.... but no face plate. So I either borrow my dad's or buy another

Cheers Norm

That's what I like about you Richard! You always have the answer... haven't seen my faceplate since I moved, hopefully it isn't misplaced! thanks!

A bodger would file the corner off the bed as the carriage can't travel that far! an engineer would frown, and as I'm an engineer and it's a 60 year old lathe I will have to find a solution that doesn't include buying a bigger lathe! Ive four of them to turn down so it needs to be effective

I've started my next project and ordered some laser cut discs 12mm x 181mm. Based on my careful measurement of my lathe swing... Doh!

saw this and thought of Koen

all very cute!

Went in the workshop a few times yesterday and could smell petrol. After tea it was annoying me and had a good hunt around, the fuel tank on bendy spontaneously split open and emptied itself .... thats a a new one to me...

Great work Richard, it'll be too nice to use when done!

Interesting... its a peerless box, the kind of thing I could use... esp with that right angle box....
