Hi All Going through my folders found these,my first restoration a Anzani Iron Horse hope you like, good thing about it is that it is not far away and still have a go with it at our ploughing matches and it is another one saved I retired in 2005 and this was my first go at restoration as you can see it was rough the engine was stripped and new rings added all cleaned out and put together still runs well The picture of tractor on the trailer was when I took it to the first rally PS the one with four wheels got in by mistake

Hi All Wee bit more done to plough skimmer fixed, ploughshare in place but needs some work seems to be coming along well, next will be lifting chains,will be altering disc wheel to complete the plough hope you like

Hi All Update photos at my holiday home more logs and view of log cabin in the garden of the main cottage, this is where our friends stay hope you like. Notice the first fall of snow HA HA

Hi All more pics of the woods The barrow works fine, take your time and it will go anywhere, with caution Pics give an idea how it was when I started clearing the woods hope you like PS this was after I spent three days with a digger levelling it of and burying the rubbish

Hi All Back at our holiday cottage near St Andrews again The owner does not like the Scottish winters and goes to his boat on the Med, so we look after his house dog and cat Nothing beats a cottage in the country with a log fire and a good bottle of whisky. Here are some pics of my power barrow in the woods hope you like No snow at this time just ground frost All the best to all for the coming season Frae George S

Hi All This is plan B it is taking shape I have done away with tool frame at this time I have fixed it the same way as original plough except there is more scope for a disc ,manure skimmer or a scotch skimmer in the next move I may try a disc and a skimmer combined. The tractor lifts the set up with no effort which is good something I could not to with lift hand and wire rope I will keep you updated as I go along I cut 6 inches of the beam Hope you like

Hi All I use Stihl petrol same as aspen two mixture on my chain saws and my combi hedge cutter had to adjust combi engine they all run sweet now.I am also starting to run my merry tillers that I show on Stihl 4 stroke petrol so far no problems As you know when we show we only run the engine if and when required and do not use a lot of petrol Thanks George S

Hi Jon Something to try Have you a drill with hammer drill,put a socket on it little larger than pin plenty of release oil on pin and hammer drill the pin the oil will vibrate down the pin slow job but works best of luck George S

Hi Jonnym Something to try Get an electric drill with hammer action use a socket on it larger than the pin use plenty of release oil on pin use the hammer drill to vibrate the pin it my be enough to get it free worth a try has worked for me George S

Hi Jonnym Have you tried lifting the rear wheels of the ground and engaging the pto with gears in nutrial what happens engine running. does pto rotate try putting it in forward gear and pto engaged engine running does it rotate

Hi The plough is on the back of my 1032 the hydraulic system workes of the engine so lifting will be no problem only time will tell

Hi All Here is my first project of the year I hope you like The plough is of a BMB plowmate walk behind from front to back it is one foot longer and mouldboard has a different set on it Time will tell George S

Hi Speaking to Frank one of the owners it seems to be that if the stop is not there it is not easy to mantain a regular forward speed for ploughing Thanks Frae the Fife plooman

Hi all Here are some photos of a friends wheelhorse D200 that he has modified to plough with hope you like He may get a computer some day and join the club fingers crossed The last photo is of the wheelhorse that he uses at the moment

Hi Stormin some more pics to give you an idea how it works The bungie cord is temperary for display purposes only HA HA

Hi all These are a couple pics of my merry tillers carbs have been cleaned out one has new valves and rings fitted and all is well A very merry christmas to all Frae the Fife Plooman

Hi all I am at the moment fitting a mid mounted mower to my tractor it was made for the Gutbrod,also the tank and pump fitted to the mudguard is a hand pump made to lift the rear linkage it works better than a wire rope and a hand lever as you can now add weights to the plough if and when required Hope you like
