looking great Mark.
If you don't have a lot of room for linkage etc, how about a concentric clutch release cylinder, complete with release bearing to operate the pulley, a small master cylinder could be mounted wherever, with a latching lever, possibly with 3 positions? even more gears! and a nice length of "Aeroquip" braided hose to finish off.
Or clutch cable with overcentre lever?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Was it a tree that blew down in the gales

You'll need replacements for when you wear the first two out
-
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.

This body piercing is really catching on, even the animals are at it now

Yes, look at the erosion being carried out in "Pale Rider"
-
Great video! thanks for posting.
great machines, a bit more colour would be nice, perhaps a little red

I think he 'works' at the same place I do.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Some combines use the same system to alter the drum speed
-
Multi power! You'll have to paint the engine and wheels grey now.
-
You can put your feet on it to hold it down.
-
Don't forget we're metric now.

Only a few pics, too hot

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.

Good choice Ian, quite powerful, and a very smooth arc.
