This is a really good idea thanks for sharing !

Great fabrication work Ian it's looking stunning mate

Looking good

Hi all just a quick update after spending most of the day yesterday day fabricating engine mountings which was ok but not brilliant m my apprentice Sam found the original mounting brackets so I decided to remove the engine and fit these brackets so out came the engine and the new brackets went in !

Your a brave man!

Wow Nigel that looks fantastic mate !

Hi all well today has been quite productive I've stripped down the Jacobsen with the help of Nathan and Sam what a sod they are to work on not nice at all but hay ho , the Jacobson has come with lots of usable parts pumps and wheel motors ready for another project ( how many is that Mark ) , so I've had to coo le a drive shaft together and use what I've had , and we have manged to get the engine in which is in and inline but just doesn't seem to sit right in the mountains so I'm gonna re design that but I have had it running and it runs well and every thing seems to work so now that ino it isn't a basket case I'm gonna look at making a longer drive shaft and sitting the engine in further forward , any way pics to follow!

Mine won't be on the bay that is for sure

Hi just a quick update brother nathan us off to skipton to pick up a Jacobsen triking mower which I've bought for the three cylinder kubota engine , it comes complete with all the ancillaries etc , which is what I need and hopefully parts to make the drive shaft between engine and hydraulic pump! , So tomorrow should see more photos and progress !

The last picture is what the a American version looks like , I must admit I like

Looks good

Good idea mate I'm sure you will of cracked it this time

Hi all just a quick update I've got it home now , I'm going thru it all the workings of the tractor and I'm quite impressed with what it has , more of that to come along with pictures I've being looking for a replacement engine for it , it should have a three cylinder kubota engine around 20 hp but they are like hens teeth to find a good one at the right money . As the tractor takes it's drive thru a little prop shaft fitted to the crank pulley I could fit any engine into it ( with in reason ) , so I've been offered a very modern 4 cylinder jcb Perkins mini digger engine at the right price so I'm gonna measure it and see if it will fit in the engine bay etc more pictures to come !

Looks really nice mark

A few more pictures of the new machine

Hi all it's an 1989 it's come with it's registration On A G plate

It was Norm a quick call and it was off!

Hi all I've recently purchased a ransomes Turf Trac which is made by steiner it's an American machine it's 4x4 hydrostatic I don't no much about these but they seem massive In the states , I'm picking it up tomorrow ! Hopefully more pics to follow and information !

Wow what a find

I've always wanted a gutbrod and maybe try and make a wheelhorse D250 out of one as that is what they were underneath !

They look nice mate like mark says May put a set of them on one of my projects

Nice find paul there's one what gies to one of the local shows near me I'll try and find you some pictures !
