That's some collection, Alain.

BTW Where about's are you located?

Looks a tidy tractor. Can't help you information wise but you could try Red Square, our sister forum. Lots of Wheel Horse manuals etc on there.

Thanks, Harry. I've got a rear discharge. I really want a side discharge.

Thanks Nigel. I'll PM him.

Looking for a side discharge mower deck for a C series Wheel Horse to fit my C-125. Condition of bearings blades etc not important, but deck shell must be in good condition. Bit of rust not a problem, but no rot.

Nice work Richard.

We need a bigger house mum.

The Unibond Power Epoxy worked a treat. Deck made a lovely job of the green and verges. That's the good news. Second time I used it a crack appeared between the centre and left hand side pulleys. Actually, more of an elongated hole than a crack. A bit of plate will soon sort it. Piece of 3mm plate sourced. Paper pattern made. Transferred to plate and cut out with jigsaw. Paint cleaned off ready for welding. Plate clamp to deck top and welding commenced. That's when the trouble started. The steel of the shell started to show how badly it had rusted. Half inch of weld and a hole appeared. Try a different place. One inch of weld and a hole appeared. This happened two or three more times. So the deck was given a good inspection, (Again. The first when I got it) and several dings found where small stones had hit the deck from underneath. Gave the dings a tap?? with a hammer and lo and behold, More holes. So I've decided the deck has terminal rust worm and will be confined to the big skip at the farm. It is now all stripped down and an idea has started to materialise. If it bears fruit the saga will resume.

I don't think it has been used in anger, Jonathan. Positioned where it is, I'd think if any heavy strain was put on it, it'd lift the front of the tractor.

You'll think of something.

'Ere's a few wot I tuk.

As I understand it the front fell off.

Pity we didn't get to meet you, Pete. Heck of a stationary display though. I took a few photo's of them. Maybe yours is amongst them.

Chris insisted it had to be the red tractor. I'm not sure why. Could have been the colour, or maybe I had to bend down and he didn't.?

Chris wanted to have a ride, Chris. But didn't want to fork out £2. The pick up and drop off point was right by us. I now know the words to Postman Pat off by heart.

I'll give you a slap. I'm far better looking than him.

I'll get mine own back. Just you wait.

All loaded and ready to roll in the morning. I just hope it's not as hot as it has been today. 30c in the sun the garden thermometer read. Dropped to 26c in the shade now.

No! Just inventive. Loopy but inventive.

Ditto! Post in the Upcoming Shows and Events.

Looking at the photo's Alan, there's been a lot of changes since I was last there. Going to have to have a run over sometime.

I've got a D.T.I like that. Belonged to my father. I'll check the make tomorrow if I've chance. I've never seen a Jacobs chuck set up like that before.

Sid the Fisherman has returned. Brought his pal K9 with him this time.
