Hi 

Nice find would like to see it working.Wash it down let it dry and paint it with Owatrol oil two thin coats would be fine

Again a nice find

George S

Hi

Nice plough 

If you get it for less than £150 it is a good buy if you pay more it is your decision either way you will have a good plough

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

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

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

George S

Hi Jonnym

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

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
