Me too!

Congrats Mark, I'd best buy a copy and have a read

Sounds like you might be hired!

Any chance you can pm me a cheeky pic or two?
Scrub that, I've got a copy. I should subscribe, since I buy it every month....
Cheers

Awesome work! Giving me more ideas....

That might well happen... Gutter yet to be finished

Very nice Richard! Just weighed my two huskies in

Great vid, I bet you wish you had done that 4x4 conversion on the 312 now

Good work Ian : thumbs:

Great pics and vid almost a shame to get it dirty!!!

Good work Ian : thumbs:

Now to join the two bit of the drop link together..
The fixed length one was easy.. A bit of Wheel Horse lift arm with some more steel pipe hammer inside for extra strength.
 

 
 
The adjustable drop link needed a bit more thinking about..
 

 
 
As I couldn't find a bolt I thought was not only strong enough, but I also had a nut to fit, I made my own..  The thread is only partly cut here..
 

 
 
My first attempt came out a bit wonky and the threaded bit decided it didn't want to wind in or out!
 

 
 
Attempt 2 ended up with a wonky thread being cut!!
 

 
 
Attempt number 3 involved cutting a thread off a toll I haven't used in at least 8 years!! But it worked..
 
Two drop links tack welded together..   I know that having to removed a pin to adjust the adjustable drop link isn't ideal, but it will do for now and keeps this 3 point build within budget... which is nowt.. Yep only built with what I had kicking about the shack
Ok, I may of borrowed the 3 point arms from the 6x6m but were gloss over that
 

 
 
And fitted..
 

 

 
 
All I need to do now is to pull it all apart for final welding and strengthening..
 
The plan was to make a start on that today, but it seemed a shame to be inside with the nice sunny weather, so Pete and I went for a drive
 

 

very talented!!!! like the sound too...

I'm kind of partial to Public Replacement.  For those of you who don't know, the blonde is my oldest daughter Megan.
 
 

 
With an original:

What an awesome restore, looks absolutely fantastic!

Touch my Wheelhorse........i'll kick your butt.  

The next day i spent a while working out how i could operate the gearstick from the front. looking at the gearbox / front axle i noticed that it was held on with u bolts, simple all i had to do was turn the engine and transmission around the other way, so the next 4 photos so the progress

As some of you might have guessed, I like big wheels and tractors. Here's a few of my favourites from last years Newby Hall show - this years venue for the UK wheel horse round up

This project was something I had in my head for a while. Being a lover of Wheelhorse's and tracked vehicles having driven diggers and alike for years, I looked at a few MG's but didn't like the metal tracks 
One day a friend gave me a Wheelhorse A 90, it came from a school and had a seized engine and had been partly dismantled to stop the children playing with it, this started me thinking, all I had to do was find something on rubber tracks, narrow enough to go through a garden gate and have forward and reverse gears rather than hydromatic.
 
  
 

Looks great in daylight, loving the rear ags...

Managed a bit of a rejig in the shop today and in a bid to save my knees got the project up a bit higher!


First job is to sort out a small alignment issue on the rear subframe, then crack on with hooking the two transmissions together.

THought id post a link to my home made wheel weights video aswell just for a good laugh
