Sorry, bracket sold on eBay a while back and forgot to update this advert. thanks, Daniel

Still available. Keep tripping over it as still no electric in the garage for lights. Can strap it on a pallet if you wanted to arrange for collection? Got some other bits and a complete 312-8 for sale if of interest?

Hi, Not sure if you got this sorted but i'v an 8 speed wheel horse axle/gearbox from a raider i believe, if your still after one? http://myoldmachine.com/topic/2589-wh-8-speed-rear-axle/ cheers.

Tyres now gone as Andrew says. Genuine wide wheels still available Will take £35 the pair to move them on. Also got a Wheelhorse 312-8 for sale if interested.

I have found the missing hub, so both are included with the axle now.

Well here the photo, dust comes free with it One hub removed for some reason, I'll see if i can find it around, not sure if it was even there when i bought it. PM me your interest. Thanks.

8 speed rear axle, 3 forward 1 reverse with high and low range. Bought as a spare, but selling as i need the money, bought from a chap who broke the tractor for a damaged engine and assures me this axle is good. been stored in my dry garage. Photo seems to have disappeared from taking it to uploading it, so will take another tomorrow. Collection from Sturminster Newton. £90 ono PM me your interest.

Sorry for delay on photos. Collection from Sturminster Newton Dorset. Here are the wheels, in grey primer, and black where the tyres fits over. £80 ono as above. And here are Andrews tyres on offer for £50 optional extra. Size above is correct.

I am selling my pair of rear wheels made by firestone, 8.5JA (8.5" wide) by 12" diameter. If you put a pair of 10.50 wide tyres on them, they'll look the business as wider than normal wheels. Currently in grey primer for you to paint your own choice of colour depending what tractor you wanted to fit them on. They've been fitted to my Wheel Horse Electro 12, 312-8, Andrews Bolens 1254, and a John Deere 140 all without issues. I understand these are rare to find this wide! Includes tubes. I'm after £80 ono for the pair. and will include tyre fitting for free if you bring a pair of tyres with you when collecting, but do remember they are only in primer so up to you (also happy to fit tyres if you return once wheels painted). collection only. PM me your interest. Photo's to follow very soon. Andrew (Triumph66) has a pair of 'Turf tyres' for sale that are currently in my garage. He wants £50 for the pair. Size i believe are 23x10.50x12, made by Goodyear, and look to be good condition. Will get a photo of them up very soon as well.

Sorry for the fright Andrew You can relax, it's not your Bolens

Well if you do come back to the idea here's my super quiet stack pipe build thread. http://myoldmachine.com/topic/1258-wheelhorse-electro-with-a-stack-pipe/

I was in a similar place a while back, turned out my 'new' spark plug was duff, have you tried the old one? I had idle but wouldn't rev up, and after using a spark tester i watched the spark drop out as the revs increased. The spitting is the engine flooding and the fuel igniting in the chamber.

Here it is! the famous Wheel Horse TOWING the Bolens photo I get the impression Andrew didn't like this photo being taken Now i'll go hide

Nice to see a tractor working Looks cleaner than my 312-8 at the moment Thanks for sharing the pics. Andrew you could extend your collecting to Wheel Horses and buy my 312-8 complete with deck end of this year beginning of next when i've finished needing two tractors

PM sent with explanation to late reply. Still for sale if anyone is interested?

Excellent Andrew Looks a fun bit of kit So is that the deck for the lawn keeper? What engine should the lawn keeper have? I can see you'll go in to restoration mode soon, which, if your speed of collecting tractors and attachments is anything to go by, you'll have these machines looking shiny by summer

Where did you get the tyres from Jack? Maybe it's worth starting a new thread for the south west show idea to gauge interest and location ideas.

I'm very envious of your lathe work Ian! Project Why Not is coming on really nicely

Here's a pic of the one bolted to my tractor. It's one of those rare items that you can't ever find when you want to buy one, and rarely sold with the attachments that need them. If i was pushed hard i'd possibly sell the snow plow aswell maybe

Nice find Be warned these tractors are addictive

Genuine Wheel Horse rear attachment bracket. Bolts to rear axle for attachments like snow plow, ect. Rarely come up for sale. Very good condition, latches have been thoroughly greased for a nice movement. Four new fixing bolts. Selling to cover unexpected repair costs on my tractor. £65 plus postage, would prefer collection from North Dorset but will get a post cost if required.

Thats some very interesting stuff Andrew, I will give their website a good read. Funnily enough my Husqvarna chainsaw (2 stroke) actually seems to run nicer using old fuel but as a fresh mix with the 2 stroke oil, old mixed fuel left in the tank it does not like. But do realise this is probably an odd one out.

The magazine sounds very tempting, but also sounds like its given you the itch to extend you collection Andrew

As requested i have started this thread for my home built sheet metal folder. I could have bought a bench mounted folder, but they limit the width of steel, and the depth if making a tight box. You also can't make something like this with multiple angled bends, no cutting and welding were involved to make this panel. It's a similar design I copied from a friend, made from various thick box section and plate. the ram is one of these gear pullers, The lower 'V' block is a small section of proper press brake tooling i bought from scrap. Unfortunately I couldn't find the upper part, so that's made using a 4" bolster chisel cut down. It works well but but just not as clean a fold, so i'm still looking for an upper piece of tooling to cut down in to different width. Its very versatile making panels like these, The downside is it takes a while to make a long fold due to the winding of the mechanism involved, but if i could find an upper 'V' tooling to make a wider piece that would help, and i see they do a hydraulic operated gear puller now so may invest in one of those one day Any questions ask away. I'll try and get some pics up later of just the tool, these pics were taken intending to show the work piece not the tool Panel work shown from my thread here for ease in future reference: http://myoldmachine.com/topic/1495-transit-restoration-work/

Thanks guys I enjoyed doing the work knowing it's done right, I do really love my Transit, owned for 15 years, i get attached to my vehicles Took about a week and a half and cost less than £50 including new steel, grinding discs, welding gas, ect. The only down side is i had those two weeks set aside to start building my garage, so that's been postponed yet again! I will start a new thread on the folder for those interested then heres a link to the folder thread for ease of future reference. http://myoldmachine.com/topic/1501-home-made-metal-folder/
