Thanks for that info, now its running I will probably put it in the shed till I can strip it down and give it a coat of paint I have a few projects on the back burner. There was loads of smoke for the first few moments I more or less let it tick over for about 30 mins let it warm up real slowly, I have had engines smoke like hell ( mainly  old tactors) with stuck rings in the past where they have been sat for a long time and with some slow warm ups sometimes they pop open and clear themselves with out diving into the block, It dont work every time though .
 
Thanks

I managed to get an hour on it today the engine is now running beautifully, what a lovely sound its got a little whistle pitch dad said similar to his Ransomes MG6. Its not running on its original fuel tank yet I need to sort out a grommet thingy where the fuel tap enters the tanks. I did manage to drive it forward and reverse approximately a metre gears feel good.
Next thing to sort out is the safety switches as is still hot wired direct to the coil.
 
Things are looking ok for this little tractor..
 
Cheers

me dad went to pick up some other stuff and i caught eye of this its a Wheelhorse C-101 we havnt had chance to look at it proper yet i do know the tires are shot and the engine is not seized, when I get time if all is well with the engine i intend to do it up, not sure yet as to what level. I did find a number on it earlier today
 
Will keep you posted..

Wow Storming your deck looked in better shape than mine at the start, you made a nice job of it too. I may have to have a think about the deck see how it comes out after a gentle blasting I may need to make a complete new one.
 
I do have a question I noticed it wouldnt turn over on the key, without any investigation yet I was wondering is there a clutch safety switch ie you need to apply pressure to the clutch first, Dads got a Craftsman like that.

We also made a few westwood decks they are quite simple I dont think this one would be to bad and it would give me a chance to try out our electric bead roller weve made.
 
Just got back from the workshop and it is now firing although not with the key yet, ive hopefully added a little movie fingers crossed it comes out ok, note my sister injecting the fuel in she is a beautician and has lovely nails great sis thanks.
I thinks the tractors gona run ok with a little time spent tinkering, now i have a little more enthusiasm now it almost running.
 
I will check out them switches when i have time  thanks Stormin.
 
Cheers Jordon
