  2. meadowfield

    Nuts!

    Spent some time on Jakes tractor adding some gauges...and USB socket Told him to fit the panel and he's just rocked round the corner after finishing work with this! pimp my horse!
  3. Definitely earth leakage, is there a neutral in the wiring? Should just be three wires and and earth. Your incoming should bring neutral in as a tap from the transformer. my lathe is a 4 pin plug, of which one is earth. The motor is delta configuration and uses three wires. Any combination works, if the motor spins the wrong way then swap two. sounds like a simple wiring issue (hopefully)
  4. I'm not getting any younger and everything I work on gets heavier.... picked this up the other week for £30 and with some recycling of an old American bike rack that was built like a tank. Ive got this A handy crane with a 4ft boom that swings inside the workshop
  5. welcome to mom, nice machine!
  6. Pulled up the floor in the downstairs loo today. Needed some help.... Finn to the rescue, any excuse to hook up a trailer. He's really good at reversing it too.
  7. Spent a bit more time, fork done. Just the actuator to sort. I've tested the pulley at fixed settings, and manually pushed the fork with the engine running.
  8. On the rule of one out, one in.... (Ewan is off to uni) here is our latest family member. meet myrtle
  9. Well as you all get nice weather down south, we get the summer storms.... so much water, my workshop wall has melted!!!! three frames of the webcam outside catching lightning in the same second how flat the grass is from the surge the remains of the second bridge in the field stuck in the pipe yes that's the stream - yes it was that wide!!!!
  10. burnt my finger badly on the GT14 choke cable at the weekend wtf I hear you ask... well the fuel had leaked out and I refilled it, as I was cranking it through I though I could see smoke from the carb So I stopped, could see anything but lifted the hood and cranked again - yes it was the cable smoking... So I did as any numpty would and checked if it was hot! Turned out despite there being a lot of metal on a GT14, I had a poor earth for the starter and the path it chose was the choke cable!!!!!
  11. Thought they could earn their keep... The horses too Here's jakes freshly restored C-121 on sickle duty gratuitous pic of Finn stripping the quads back brake drum - start em young GT14 got an airing - there's another story and was put on roller duty of course we needed to let our hair (whats left) down....
  12. Just make a puller, there's usually two 5/16 threads either side of the nut. A piece of 1/2 bar and screw them down and then tap the centre and they pop off
  13. awesome collection of pictures chaps
  14. For a small show with the focus on horses and cattle we did good! Thanks
  15. That was my plan originally, but I'm short on space... heres todays update, the two halves are spring loaded, with a custom thrust bearing and selector fork. Just the actuator to complete.
  16. Saw your message in the shoutbox. Introduce yourself in the intro area, then ask question. The request in shoutbox will disappear and be missed. Cheers mark 

  17. Back from a damp show - we didn't exhibit last year, but as its our closest show then it was a no brainer. The weather wasn't pleasant, so quite a of of it was spent in the landy or beer tent.... as a result there's not many pics.
  18. That's a great collection!
