It's almost upon us....
I'm loaded up and ready
-
That's a lot like he north south divide Charlie! All the horses are in the Deep South of the UK.....
-
See them around charlie, not had one. Safer to stick to a modern chainsaw
-
If you find them, send them our way

Norm,
We've all been through the same issues!
Firstly the tank is a long way away from the carb, the pump has to work hard. The first thing to check is the pump, undo the two screws and take it off the engine. Split it and give it a clean, checking the diaphragms aren't split and the seats are clean. You can check the seal by pumping with your finger over the end. My sons is shot and we put and electric pump on to prime it.
If you're happy it's ok, then check the carb, give it a good clean and set up as per the kohler manual. If necessary buy a rebuild kit with the new float gasket, etc.
If you don't have time in the next day, then it might be a task for the weekend
Cheers
Mark

This years stickers arrived Chris

Other routes are pointing to MTD yardman.... What is the transmission? Foote? Peerless?
-
ha,
just found this whilst looking for something else
-
An approximate map of where things usually live and roughly where we will be camping. We will try keep an area clear for James+co, Norm and anyone else camping roughly where I've highlighted.
-
The ground was so hard last year, my GT just didn't want to work
I think it will be a bit softer going this year....
-
There's a few acres behind where we camp that we play in on a night. We can always get away with a turning a bit of earth
-
Looks like a ploughing match at Newby then
-
-
They've already rejigged the layout to help with water logging where they heavy engines are going
-
Weather still looking hit and miss, though it's forecast to be warm!
-
If you go in a Lowes store, everything shouts B&Q. It's the same layout and graphics, but apparently there are no connections.
Style looks like a Murray...
-
Good idea, lipo batteries are a loose cannon... Sometimes they die quietly, other times they react really violently and make a mess with a lot of fire.
-
Hoping you make it Titch!
-
You took the battery out
Probably a good idea...
-
Glad you are all sorted, I would get throttled if I left that many horses on the patio...
-
Looking forward to catching up with you all
-
-
With 600 tractors, no one will get stuck....
-
Neil,
You will be missed, but what an awesome swap... I'd love to go to the show. Maybe next year I will talk the missus around!
Looks like we'll be swapping show pics
Not too good a forecast up here I'm afraid for the weekend.

I am slowly being talked round
Yes it will have front fenders....
Thanks Ian
Got 4 days at work in London, not sure it will be a rest as I've been on hols for a week, so no doubt it will be mayhem!
Steering now complete-ish.... Very tight, with no play. The rubber damper will have to go, it made adapting discovery parts to beetle very easy, but it's twisting under load.
Engine is out as there's nothing to bolt to yet, there's no seat or fenders either. I did get 5 mins to offer the original raider footrests up, with a bit of cutting and welding they will fit just fine.
So this is how it ends for a few weeks, will continue to see how it goes and whether the GT gets the boot in favour of bendy
