Thanks Paul, its something a bit different for shows, should be at Newbury in October.

Looking great Gareth

Found some handle grips in the workshop, and fitted. Also
fitted the blades. Just waiting on a few bolts and a belt and
then itll be finished.

A bit more progress today. Managed to get the belt pulley on,
also the belt guard and decal. The simple cantilever clutch
was connected back up, with the operating lever getting a
coat of paint.
The final job for today was the depth foot, which was missing
when purchased but there was one on the doner machine.

Looks superb, when's your next project arriving? Lol

Looks great Gareth, well done mate

heres a photo.

Ordered up some 4mm rubber sheet to remake the soil flap at the rear of the rotor cover. Once cut and fitted, I placed the cover back on the machine....

Looks good!

Very Smart

Another update on this one....... I needed to refit the clamp to secure the rotor cover to the drive tube, make a support bracket from the fuel tank down to the air cleaner and then make a new throttle cable. I also ordered some 4mm rubber sheet to make the soil/stone deflector......
 
Also wanted to say it runs too!!! Not exactly sure what I did, but I just went through everything again from the seals, to the timing, to the carb...... All seemed fine though, so when I added fuel again, and pulled the starter I wondered if it would ever start......? But it did on the 3rd pull..... Here's a little video of it running
 
And here's a photo of the almost finished machine..... I say almost, It's decided to leak a small amount of oil from the seal around the shaft with the blades on, new ones will be collected tomorrow!

Two ideas I like there, Art.
 
I've a lot of scrap lead. All I need are the discs.

One of my first chores, after the rider is runnin', changing from wheel "bolts" to "lug nuts."
 
Although we have cast wheel weights, made some using discarded brake drums.
Weld bolts in the drums, then fill with concrete.
 

Managed to make a bit more progress today, sorry
for the poor quality photos, as I only had my phone
with me.

In the post this morning was a set of decals from Titch at Machinery Decals.
Once again the quality is first rate.

Engine has now been trial fitted and the exhaust has had a coat of VHT silver.
