Norlett Sickle Bar Cutter.
Just painted and fit on tractor....Seems to work ok...Looking for some longish grass to try out properly.
When we go to our next show we should have a nice cut area....I hope..
Might need a rake and baler...If its to long..
Might be next job making a rake...
My last Westwood was 1200 Diesel... Noisy but started winter or summer on key.
Then bought the Norlett And the Westwood went to Ireland.
Then progressed on to Wheel horses.
Hi there Tom and Co.
The sickle bar width is only about 24"
Just painted it now.. Going away for a few days..So when I get back I will fit together and slot on.
Then show it working.(problem being no long grass about).
Made it to fit on the quick hitch...30 seconds and its on and away.
My sickle bar Conversion..Getting it ready to clean up and paint.
Had it working as Meadowfield (Mark) showed earlier.
Bit narrower than My Norlett ... But could extend it either side in needed.
Will post pictures of if working when done painting... I hope..

Yes the last westwood I had.Had a Lombardini Diesel in it
Was brill but very noisy Started up on the key if battery was charged
but could be started by pull cord.
some times sorry to them being sold.
Bought one for our grandson to fettle up two or three years ago.
Meadow field might put some photos on here to show every body how it looked
As Mark said I had one for years in our garden
Came from when I worked for a civil engineering company (many moons ago)
Used it for drying parts of tarmac so you lay fresh tarmac over the top
Other wise tarmac or asphalt doesn't stick when there is water about
Yes you will have guessed.
Wrong engine Etc So had to fit K and N filter
B/S Carb and filter wouldn't fit under bonnet
Notice exhaust and heat shield to keep heat away from fibre glass bonnet
Trying to beat Mark (meadowfield) to have it finished for our first outing
Attaching wheel rim to tyre machine before soaping tyre.
First fitting tyre over rim.
Using our other tyre machine attachment with wheel to press tyre on.
Stops catching freshly painted rims.
Finished product. all tyres now on painted rims ready to fit.
Next job painting (weather permitting)
It will be at our Bronte Vintage Gathering mid May
There will be some pictures taken with the other Wheel Horses on show
Think we have booked about six in
Got the decals ready to fix (does a good job with them Meadow field)
Getting Ready For Newby Hall Tractor Fest June 2014
Half way through Lawn Ranger Rebuild
Waiting for Warmer weather so I can paint out side
Rain and paint doesn't mix
Colour doesn't look great
That's me not good at taking picks
Booked our three in for Newby.(two lawn rangers,one C105)
Hoping to get a friend of mine to book two B111 's in.
Should be a good crowd of us going (Hope the weather is kind to us so we can all get together in the evening)
