I've a stitcher just like that. Maybe that's what it's off. Was on the kitchen extension roof for a few years.

They'll reach over 16".

Without going out for a look, I think ok for petrol engines up to 2000cc and diesels to 1600cc.

Maybe anew battery on the to do list, then Alan. Along with some new tyres.

If one is observant enough, one can see the plate that the box section is welded to. Photo 1. And photo's 2 and 4, where the plate is welded to the plough.

Ditto! Or Big Tyres.

Not got a flat battery. Only rectangular ones. Tried it on the Sears/Roper. The battery on that is slowly losing charge for some reason. After two - th ree weeks standing, will turn engine but not fast enough. Started easily using the pack.

While in Lidl I spotted this little power pack at just short of £40. It'll be handy for jump starting the tractors if needs must away from home. Has a very good light as well. Battery should be good for 20 jump starts the bumph says. Has a recharging plug and lead.

View from rear. Side view set for 6" deep. Set for 4" deep. The wheel can be adjusted from 6" to 4" in 1/2" increasments or reductions. Most likely 6" or 5-1/2" will be the settings to use. Trial and error will tell. The complete plough.

If they are the Wheel Horse type, I think they may be hard to find new. If you have a look at my C-120 refurb topic in Ride On's, July 7th 2014, page 7, you'll see what I did.

The implement lift on my C-121, aka The Black Horse, is electrically operated. This works well but has a down side. The plough is either up or down and no way to adjust plough depth. When in the ground, the plough pulls the actuator fully out and results in the furrow being 7" deep. So a way to set plough depth had to be devised. The tool bar has two positions in the slot hitch. One gives a plough depth of just over 5" and t'other just over 7". Somewhere in between being required. The only thing I could think of was a depth wheel. Simple, cheap and not heavy. A search around the workshop provided some box section. One size sliding nicely in the other. A wheel off a push rotary mower, some flat bar, a couple of pins with R clips and a long 1/4" cap head allan bolt. A bit of thinking and measuring, cutting and drilling and I had some bits. I took more photo's but the quality is poor. Out of focus. I'll take some fresh ones tomorrow.

Four entries will be in Mondays post. Sears/Roper, C-81 with finger bar, C-121 aka The Black Horse Plus Teagle Jet Cut Hedge trimmer. Who else is going besides the fore mentioned members?

Hotel booked and entry forms organised.

That would be handy for bringing the Showman back from the beer tent at RPT.

Thanks David. I'll exhibit with you if it's OK with Rollo-man 1. I need to get some entry forms as I've no printer. BTW. Any B&B's or Travel Lodge places nearby?

How many cups of tea are you brewing? You only need to fill it too the bottom mark for two.

Knowing you lads over the Border, you'll soon have it up and running properly and with a lick of paint. Look forward to the rebuild thread and seeing it at the HVC rally, May the 6th.

Couple of weeks and you'll have rebuilt and running.

Have a look at roloman 1's post on page 4. Another BMB.

A tad early I know, but a HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY.

My eldest daughters two youngest drove my Wheel Horses from eight year old. Decks removed of course. I did fit blocks to the pedals and they were always under supervision and given strict instructions as to what to do. They were fortunate that we have a large green in front of our house and live down a dead end.

Welcome to MoM, Steve. Looks a tidy Westwood. Lucky lad you've got.

Well done on finding another. At least you will have saved one.

Monkeys have wheels like railway bogies with flanges on. Maybe you could somehow fit four rollers to the vertical brackets to guide the monkey. Less resistance when moving sideways. Give you something to think about.

All the Best, Darren.
