Merry Christmas to everybody at MOM  and a Happy New Year

Wishing all at MOM a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
It's blowing a gale out there I hope Santa stays on course!!

Very sad news indeed RIP Norm.

I spoke to Carol yesterday and she said no flowers, Norm would have hated the waste of money, but any donations to Cancer Research, a family member has terminal cancer..

She's was calling Norm an old bugger because she'd been in his shed and found out how many tractors he had. She didn't know. Wonder what else she'll find.

sad times - RIP Norm

Farewell Stormin !

So sorry to hear of his sudden passing. My thoughts also are with the family.
The loss of a good, 'down-to-earth' person will be much missed, and also on this, and the Redsquare Forum.
R.I.P. Norm, we won't forget you.
Richard

Thats really sad news
 
R.I.P Norm and condolences to the family

On behalf of My Old Machine, and RedSquare, we give our deepest condolences to his friends and family.
 

In case the text gets lost in the header section.
Sadly Stormin passed away very suddenly last Monday as a result of a stroke. He visited me the day before and seemed his normal self so it was a real shock. His funeral will be held at Carlisle crematorium on Thursday 5th October at 12.20
Our thoughts are with his partner Carole and their family.

This is sad to see, Stormin was a regular here and a supporter of the forum.  I have added him to our members at peace group, rest in peace Norman

Hi All, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Stormin Norman Dainton died from a stroke last week. Sounds like it was sudden
I knew him from the Land Rover community but know he was on here fairly often. 
This was him and Carol on 4th August this year when he visited us in Mid Wales. My wife tried to poison him with spicy foreign muck (Spaghetti Bolognese), he'd never had spaghetti before.
A true gentleman with a dry northern wit and will be sorely missed by all that knew him.

Just had a great weekend in North Yorkshire at Tractorfest.
 
We took our 1968 Wheelhorse Commando 8 and trailed Wheelhorse aerator
 
Mark Smith organised the 2023 Wheelhorse Roundup and got 25 tractors this year.
 
 

By Eck, Doug! They should last you a while. 

Hi everyone.
I’ve been looking for a source for the pto clutch linings. Not wanting to pay Toro prices, I found a company that specialises in all types of friction plates etc. I’ve just ordered some linings to suit the 6 3/4” size pto’s. The company’s name is Clutchfix ltd. Have a look on their website. To order quote the material type - RF40, dimensions 171 x 108 x 4 mm. Price quoted £10.14 p + vat + postage. If you require the older smaller size, (6”), quote the required dimensions. Suggested adhesive = Araldite!

Loctite do a useful two part adhesive called Multibond. Quick curing. I’ve used it successfully to re- attache Hayer Osprey and 21 clutch linings and other similar jobs.

Good info there, lads. Thanks!

Always good to have an alternative source for friction linings.
I've used Auto & Industrial ltd for my requirements in the past. A link for reference -  A&IFS Itd 
I foolishly 'paid through the nose' for a TORO/Wheel Horse PTO plate (rivet on) many years ago....still in my stock!.
The 5min Araldite version is rubbish in my opinion. I always use the Original Araldite and has bonded my WH brake linings to spring steel with no issues. Just needs a longer curing time.-
