    Albion gearbox

    Sometime ago I posted some photos of an Albion gearbox I have, to try and identify what it came off, l seem to remember someone on the forum had been looking for one for a project. In "Tractor Mart" Sept 9th, page 26, one is offered for sale in Hertfordshire. hope this may be of use. Doug.
  2. Thanks Richard, I believe the blue traction engine is his also. All I can discover about the 706 is, it was built in the US for export only?
  3. You could try using a hydraulic drive, by using a suitable pump, a motor, oil cooler and tank ( and hoses) you could use the tank as a counterbalance for the arm and cutting head. By plumbing the motor directly to the pump, you don't need any control valves, just a relief valve if you stall the blade. Driving the pump from a pto will give you on/off control.
  4. Saturday was a bit of a washout, but Sunday was a glorious sunny day, The Wheelhorse 706 is for sale, there was also a 1960's "Capco" Field Rider 301 for sale on one of the stalls. but the owner wanted £550.00, and didn't know what make it was.
  5. Great bit of kit My version of this involves a quad, front mounted flail mower with castor wheels on the front, I added an adjustable pair of wheels at the rear, and towed it round to cut the paddocks. I've now modified it again by cutting off the castors and adding a towbar which flips over for centre or offset towing. First pic shows the four wheeled version.
  6. I met a gentleman at the Haddenham steam rally last weekend, he is on the lookout for a fuel tank cap for this tractor, if anyone can help, please PM me for his phone number. I believe the tractor is also for sale. It's in Norfolk, by the way.
  7. Was it a tree that blew down in the gales
  8. You'll need replacements for when you wear the first two out
  9. Got another box now, Norm, your 4 will be on their way Sunday when we go shopping be great for putting stripes in the lawn, or make a grain pusher for the farm.
  10. This body piercing is really catching on, even the animals are at it now
  11. Yes, look at the erosion being carried out in "Pale Rider"
  12. Great video! thanks for posting. great machines, a bit more colour would be nice, perhaps a little red
  13. I think he 'works' at the same place I do.
  14. If you like lots of levers Mark, you could double up on pulleys and belts, two more levers, like a Myford ML7 lathe trilever system, just select the ratio you want by releasing one lever and pulling the other.
  15. My mate's New Holland TX42 has a spring loaded pulley, and one adjusted by a lead screw driven by a wiper motor, these are for the drum speed adjustment.
  16. Rather than two expanding /contracting pulleys, how about using the wheelhorse pto clutch lever and gubbins, there's a good word, to push/pull the outer sheave of the pulley, and have a link to the idler/tensioner pulley to keep the belt tension right at both ratios.
  17. Some combines use the same system to alter the drum speed
  18. Multi power! You'll have to paint the engine and wheels grey now.
  19. You can put your feet on it to hold it down.
  20. Don't forget we're metric now.
  21. Only a few pics, too hot generator for sale, seller wants £120.00, fan, £80.00.
  22. Hi Steen, "Google" "Techno-Weld", it's a low temperature zinc alloy rod which comes as a kit with instructions. Heat source can be a small gas torch, due to low temperatures required. regards Doug.
  23. Good choice Ian, quite powerful, and a very smooth arc.
