  1. A good soaking with diesel for a week or so should free it up. Hopefully!
  2. All the Best, Alain. Have a good day
  3. Thanks Chris, but they are the front ones.
  4. A bit of progress this morning. Shell and parts ready for assembly. I need one of these rear rollers, Chris. This is the epoxy metal replacement I'm trying. Says it can be drilled etc. One axle bolt showing wear and one with a coat of epoxy. Two coats actually. I've started to assemble some of the brackets and was going to fit the belt tensioner. Here is another clue some ones been at this deck before. The flat bar for the tensioner pulley is held in position with two nylon bridge's to allow it to move. But there is nothing for under the bar to stop it rubbing on the shell top. I cannot find a manual with a schematic assembly drawing of the deck. Can anyone help?
  5. Indeed they are. They float as well.
  6. I thought it was a bit long, but didn't know if they made one like that.
  7. Just normal conditions for the North of England and Scotland this year.
  8. Got all the bits and pieces top coated and ready to assemble. Some parts to be repaired or replaced. Also I've discovered that someone has had this to bits before. Besides some patches on the shell, there are other clues. One being a couple of odd nuts on one of the blade spindles. Front scalp roller and wheel spindle axles bolts are well worn. I've some epoxy metal repair stuff and I'm going to see if that will renovate them. Other wise I'll make new ones. One rear roller was missing and I'll let the Showman have details. He may have one or two lying about. The centre double blade drive pulley is slack on the spindle. I'll see how the epoxy works on an axle bolt I'm trying it on goes and maybe use the epoxy on that and re-bore the centre. Another option is to split the pulleys and turn up a new centre. I'll take some photo's tomorrow.
  9. I agree with Koen. Move it back.
  10. Have a look in Ride On's, page 21, My topic titled Plough. July 21 2015. Some very useful info in there from the George, The Fife Plooman, on setting up your plough.
  11. All the Best Iain. Have a good day.
  12. You could try Meetens, Catforth, Preston. They have a web site. They supply parts for a good range of engines and I've found them good to deal with.
  13. Don't speak to soon. It's not back on and tested yet. Hope it's OK though.
  14. I like the little fellow at the end. Hope you do well.

    Find value

    I'm assuming your in the USA from your photo's. You would maybe get a better idea of the value, if you asked on Red Square our sister site. That's mainly USA oriented.
  16. I think I'd be making one myself. Have a look at Alans thread on Half a Horse. May give you ideas on how to go about it.
  17. Not really. Very common thing to happen. Can't have them getting wet.
  18. Number 1 grandson bought me this tee shirt for my birthday. Can't think why?
  19. Don't think Nigel will be getting any of that then.
  20. I would assume by the bodges, it had be left with no antifreeze in one winter.
  21. This was not all that far from me, Alain. Unfortunately this kind of thing happens regular. Not so much the drugs and alcohol, but people going up the fells and mountains ill prepared. Unless some one has had an accident or fallen ill, then they should be fined and the money go to the rescue teams.
