Hi all this my new lathe I've just acquired its a Harrison can't wait to get it installed

Looking hood looks like you have mastered the mig

It will probably slow up a lot now Ian as I've got other projects starting and I need to source some more parts !

Nice collection of different machines there thanks for sharing!

Woe Chris that looks great gong they look better with the old style hood it's gonna give a new lease of life what horse power us that engine?

I like what horse power is it 6 ?

Hadn't thought about it Norm to be honest ! It is food got thought!

I think maybe too much mark doesn't need to be a vast amount

Hi all a bit more progress today on the 4x6 I've been working on the pivot point etc and working how much articulation I can get with the belts and the tensioners I need to design !

Looks in really good condition paul is that two you have now ?

That's what I thought Norm! It's nice to start a project

Any pics mate

I'm sure you've left some out Chris

We want pics

We want more pictures!

It's striped in side but that's why I left it proud in the event I need to weld back on !

It's looking really good Mark not long now until it has it's engine put in!

Cheers Mark

Well after having a sleepless night due to Mark mentioning articulation and Chris mention having a rear lift axle I decided to do a little redesigning and I've now made the rear axle articulate , I still got loads of work to do on this but I think I going in the right direction with it . I'm just making spreader plates which will be facing each other on the pivot point which will have grease between the. Similar to fith wheel coupling on a lorry to help it articulate and spread the load . Here is what I've done so far !

I wonder indeed

I'm looking forward to doing this and should be a quite straight forward modification !

It's looking really smart mark you do set the Bar high for us to compete with keep it up mate ,can't wait until I see it the flesh again well done James

I was yes I thought abouck making one articulated but that may mess up my chain drive idea , but you have got me thinking now again !

Hi all after seeing many pictures of stretched Horses and brilliantly modified machines to make them more versatile etc such as Marks Brilliant 4x4 conversion on his C101 (check his build thread ) and his latest creation project bendy , then there's Ian with his awesome Raider 6x6 which will go anywhere see the you tube videos ! And the Showman ( Chris) with Trac horse which is another very good mod ! Any way back to my idea I've just very recently took delivery of a 4 speed transmission thanks Ian - Mark and my plan is to attach this behind my 8 speed transmission on my C141 donor tractor and then I will connect the transmissions together so I have 4 wheel drive on the rear of the tractor ! Which I will connect via a chain drive more about that later he's my first nights work enjoy!
