Sorry Norm just caught up with this project it looks really good mate

Hi all progress has slowed slightly but still making it today has been a good day to start with o now have my lathe up and running , but back to the tractor I have now moved the exhaust to go up right which now looks better and is inline with the alternator so looks moor in keeping only problem now is the alternator has packed up so a new one is required .

Looking really well

Definatley gone to a good home

Wow that's a good bit of kit

that's a good idea Like Norm said a guard of some sort ! Thanks

cheers Chris it will get there it's changing now every day I do something on it watch this space norm

Hi all had another full day on the project , I've finally finished the new power steering tank that has took a lot of fabrication , I am trying to make everything as compact as possible so I have squeezed it in between the engine and the steering unit . I have also started the wiring so I can start easier with out jump leads I have also fitted an alternator , I'm in decided yet weather that's its final resting place or weather I shall move it nearer the engine bay which will be difficult but I am going to see , the alternator in its present location sticks out of the bonnet slightly but is in line with the hydraulic pump ,

A little update today chaps the tank I have got is just a little too big so I have decided to modify it

Great news mate

Hi all a very small up date I've now sourced a hydraulic tank off of an old bus and I have now fitted the twin battery setup

That is a really nice thing charlie ! What sort of price is it buddy

Evening all another quick update , I've finally got the steering to as near as perfect as I can get it and u can steer it with one finger I haven got as much lock as the original tractor but not far off , I may still be able to obtain this with a few adjustments , I had a little drive on the tractor today in the work shop and every thing worked great so now I'm back to the fabrication part, because I'm thinking of putting a winch on the tractor I'm gonna put two 6volt batteries on wired in series to get my 12 volts I'm doing this for several reasons these batteries are very heavy so will act as good ballast , plenty of power and I have access to plenty of these batteries they have come out of a standby battery backup system they was 50 or so wired together to get mains voltage ,any way with me using two of these , I've made a battery Tray to mount them in under the seat ! Here's what I've done today

I now it's a major change but how about two right hand boxes and a mini prop shaft , NICE work tho mate !

I could bring both

Looking good Chris that stable

how we fixed at your house ?

Nice mate

Evening all another quick update been playing with the power steering on the tractor what a pig of a job I have finally made some progress with it it now steers with no issues to the left and to right , I have had to move the ram to underneath the tractor which runs parallel to the front axle , I have had to do this because I wasn't getting enough lock , I may even change this idea yet , I have rigged a temporary power steering tank up at the side of the engine to test this is not a pemsnrnt fixture here is a quick video
