    C-120 refurb.

    Only one of those I have is on the Mazda. Don't think Carol would be too pleased if I took it off.

    I like the latch idea. Or maybe a spring loaded pin. I've got some choke cables.
  3. Very nice. Looks to good to use.
  4. Might be someone not too far away.

    Spent the day trying to work out a way of using the lift lever, to lock the plough in the raised position. Oh joy and delight. All I've done is give myself a headache. No way can I see a way to use a solid linkage, which I would prefer to a cable. I'll wait and see what happens when the electrics are wired up using the relays. I think it'll be

  7. The usual way to get stuck hitch pins out is by drilling it.
  8. See my C-120 refurb topic, Henry. You'll see how to modify yours to suit.
  9. Congratulations Matt on the birth of your baby boy.
  10. I was going to suggest diesel. I mix coke with Jack Daniels.
  11. I assume you drained the gearbox, Henry. What was the oil like? If any in there.
  12. Enfield trials outfit would do me just grand.
  13. Good photo's Paul. I like the three wheeler truck in the fourth photo.
  14. For some reason I'm a little sceptical.

    C-120 refurb.

    Put things together over the weekend. I made a clevis to attach ram to slot hitch. Then to see what depth I'd get with the plough down, I put the tractor on 6" blocks and attached the plough. This showed I'd get about 7" of depth. More than enough. To test the lift, I used the simple method of using two of the wires from actuator and touching them on the battery terminals. Pleased to say it lifted the plough with ease and gave enough ground clearance. Though a problem has shown up. The actuator works on a screw system. Motor turns and the ram screws out. When the plough is raised, its weight causes the ram to slowly turn the motor and the plough slowly lowers. So I am now looking at a method of locking the plough in the raised position. This I think can be done using the lift lever with a cable attached to the hitch. It could also be a method of controlling plough depth. I may get time tomorrow afternoon to see what I can do and my next update will contain photo's.
  16. I bet that will go down well with Pam.
  17. A good restoration project, Henry.
  18. You could get Paul to sit on it.
  19. I like the Operman Motocart. Great photo's Doug.
