Looks like a photo of a scrapyard.

All the best to you as well Sir.

Looking good Darren.

I've one of those. About £19 if I remember right.

With the draw bar altered to a pin coupling?

I got a thing from Aldi some time back. Just small with lights that say good down to poor.

ALL THE BEST FOR NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

Not for me. Looks daft.

The suspension looks like early Indispension units, along with the hubs. May be a home made job. Look for a plate or holes where one might have been. Maybe made by Howes themselves. Are they still on the go?

All the best, Henry.

All the best, Darmic.

Nice little play ground. Got to agree with Harry. A winch would be handy. You could make it detachable.

Went to Carlisle yesterday to get some JB Weld. Stockist was shut. So down to B&Q and I found a two tube epoxy adhesive similar to Araldite. Back home and back of tank given a good clean and a wipe with white spirit. Followed by a good smear of adhesive and then insulating tape over that. It was then left over night. The tank was refitted this morning and filled with petrol. No immediate sign of leakage, so I started the engine. After half an hour of continuos running all still ok. While it was running I had a bit of a play. Throwing rags, bits of paper, coffee jar lids underneath it. I know one thing, it has plenty of umph.

Most likely the second option, Iain.

You can. I've seen a video of one in use.

I'll experiment with some pipe/tube first. The distance it fired the rag was impressive. Be interesting to see the result with a 3 - 4 inch drainpipe.

What I'm thinking is making it to mount behind, in front or even alongside of a tractor, with a pipe/tube into a trailer. Bit like a forage harvester.

At that price I'll take two.

BAH! Humbug!

I am.

No bag, Nigel but several ideas.

Where from, Rhys? Somewhere like Thomas Grahams in Carlisle?

Could be a speck of dirt 'tween float needle and seat.

This morning I filled the tank as Richard suggested. Billy Goat fired up at the third pull and kept running. Can't half fire things out. Put a rag in front of it and didn't see it come out. Stopped the engine and felt around underneath. No rag? Not surprising, as it was lying about 8ft away across the workshop. On the down side, I found a petrol leak. Removed the tank and there is a small pin hole in the back, halfway up. A couple of more suspect places as well. I'll see about having a go at soldering them up next week. Any other suggestions anyone?

HAPPY CHRISTMAS. HAPPY CHRISTMAS. HAPPY CHRISTMAS. Hope you al have a good one.
