Nice, tranquil scene Neil.

That could take some time. If your anything like me, you'll start reading 'em.

Good, varied show. Thanks Neil. P.S. Loved the skeleton. Brilliant!

I agree, Ian. I sometimes wonder at the things people collect.

Sure you've got enough bed time reading there.

Shame!

Nice photo's Ian. I should really carry my camera with me more often.

Chrome wheels look the ticket.

I'm going to complain to the CTWH society.

This arrived today. Many thanks to Chris. Should be a photo of a bolt.

Nice pickup. I assume the rear seats slide forward and form the rear of the cab. Neat idea if so.

It would be good to be able to go to a manufacturer and view/find info on their products. Save trying to find something you read months ago.

Cuddly!

Pleased about that.

Thanks Chris. Just be careful. Mine snapped like a wet sock. Looking at the break it looks flawed though. Another little problem is the lift lever components. The R clips came out easy, but the centre tubing is well stuck on the shaft. I'll take it up to the farm tomorrow and apply some heat. Why do we start these things.

I got the drive pulley off this morning. Found why it had been welded on. No key. Next job to get the shaft seal out. No way was it coming out with shaft in place, so no choice but to remove the shaft. That started an in depth lesson in Wheel Horse transmission boxes. I'll not go into to much detail , suffice to say you do not need to remove the selector forks shafts. The detent balls can be a right pain to put back. Anyway, I now know what bearings and seals are required. I also now require the shoulder bolt for the high/low selector fork. Slight mishap and it's sapped the threads off. This is what it looks like if anyone can help with a replacement. In one piece, please.

No. To many shows down there.

Sizes tally with seals I've removed, Mark. Numbers came from RS. Job for tomorrow if time. Pulley off. I'll see about getting the chassis and front axle blasted as well. The sooner it's a rolling chassis again the better. Found a plastic dustbin round the back of the shed. So I'll be having a go at making an E-tank for the other bits. BTW. How did this thread get hot so fast?

Trials outfit would have been better.

Just had a thought. Imagine trying to park that in a parking bay over here.

I tried the weld bead. Didn't work. The trouble was the shell was so thin walled and I couldn't get behind it to knock it out. Got the farm gas bottles and got things nice and hot. The shell red hot. That softened the shell a bit and I was able to carefully squash it in with a chisel. Now all I need are bearings and seals. Now have I got this right? Needle roller bearing - 1-1/8 x 1-3/8 x 1. Axle seal SKF 11050. Brake shaft seal SKF 7410. Still can't make my mind up about the drive pulley. Leave on or try to get off?

Would mind one of those mesel'.

I'm NOT showing swmbo THAT. She keeps saying she wants a rabbit. Damn! To late. She's seen it. "AAAH!" "It's lovely." "I want one."

Coming on Ian. I kind of like the axle sticking out at the front.
