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.

Happy Birthday Neil. Hope you have a good one and that lovely wife of yours has some nice treats for you.

I often say, Alain, I'm glad I'm the age I am.

So that's how it works. Thanks Jonathan. I'll bear in mind you have one.

It would be interesting to see that in use.

All the Best, George. Enjoy the day.

I like the sandwich. Not sure about the filling.

Merry Christmas to All.

Got the arms finished and fitted this afternoon. Wheels are back on and raising the front by 1" now gives a plough depth of 6" or 7-1/4". Depends on the position of the tool bar in the slot hitch below. Bar fully in and using the second hole gives the 6". Using the first hole, the one at the end, gives the 7-1/4". Next job is to fit a depth wheel to the plough.

Afraid so Alan. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone.

That's an idea I'll go along with. Will they class a forum type group? ie. My Old Machine as a club

As Chris pointed out, I made a bit of an error with the arms. Today I set too to correct it. But how to drill holes in the other ends accurately? I don't possess vee blocks. Can't do them in the lathe. So I had to think of some other way. I finally did them as below in the photo. Wasn't exactly easy keeping things square, but taking my time things came out OK. I used one of the extension sleeves as a guide for a drill to spot the centre. Then I drilled the spindle using three different sized drills, finishing with the tapping size. Next the holes were threaded 10mm and the stub axle on the arms cut off to 3/4" long. See photo below. The next job was to shorten the trailer stub axles to 1/2" long. Cut them down to 5/8", then into the lathe to be faced down, drilled and bored out 3/4" I.D. x 1" deep. Below all ready to weld up.

All the Best James. Hope you have a good day and your Good Lady has lots of treats for you.
