My wallets fast and full
But I have been known to lie before, on a serious not I still think that would nicely contrast the other colours in my shed.

Ive got a 50's ride a matic, a gold one with the square bonnet and one the same as yours. If you want to get in touch RE any issues we may be able to help each other out. Also I may have a flywheel if your struggling - leave it with me.

Thats a wheelhorse SMS 425, by the looks of it the same as mine, SMS425 is a 42" bar. Mine is on a commando 7 and the flat plate frame bolts either side of the chassis where the attach a matic would normally be. The sickle mower is really on or off as its not a 2 minute job to remove or refit. It has its own set of idler pulleys that replace the normal ones for the deck. If your interested in the mounting ill get you some pics.

I bought a two little teng nut splitters ages ago and used the little one the other day for the first time. It was a nut and Allen head bolt holding pick up reel tines on and the Allen head was chewed up, such a handy tool. Did the nut from each side, tapped it with a hammer and the nut fell off. Saved quite a bit of time on the job as there were about 6 bolts like this with not enough room on the bolt end to get any other tool in.

I know the feeling, the weeks seem to fly by with no progress on any projects.
It wasn't too bad of a job, just a fine file and a lot of trial fitting
Good look,

I just made my own from some larger ones out of a sparex selection pack of keyways.
If the keyways are worn you can get a better fit by making your own anyway.

Thanks for the comments, I still haven't had chance to get pictures.
And yes you only see plod after dark!!! To be honest I've passed them on the wheel horse while doing 'genuine horticultural work' and they seem to see your no doing nobody any harm and leave you alone.

The old commando has been through more in my ownership than whole of its life.

I think the other pics got lost during the death of my iphone, ill have to take some more.
As for the neighbours, luckily this was done quite a while ago at college as part of a design and build thing.
Still with all the tractors and the triumph stag I do feel sorry for them. Luckily im not a morning person
