Been out most of the weekend, but managed to finish the handbrake. Pretty pleased with yet another reuse of a wheel horse part and it works perfectly

Great video!

Hi all after a lot of searching I have found my new project a Ransomes Mg40 Dumper. Some of you might recognise this as I have bought it of Tom (Dibnah). The engine has already been recon by Tom ( Dibnah)so its just the rest of it what needs sorting. I hope you like the thread and the photos.

If it's wrong could just twist bet
Oops belt

I'll tell my source to keep an eye out mark , I've got a cylinder mower to fit next might try that on the rear tho !

Well ive done my fuel pipe today, most of it is in copper but ive had to do the last bit in rubber due too needing some more fittings. Ive also managed to get some videos took off the exhaust but I think im going to have to redo it and pack it tighter as its blowing bits of material out.

I'm going too lift it up and put it on stands and have a proper look

Hi all had a busy evening fabricating the rear chassis and pivot point which is taking abit of working out here is what I've done so far

Just as well. Sticking out like that it could catch on a forklift.

Sounds good

another video for you all

I will keep it original and buy a set of ear muffs lol

Hi all I've had a little play today fitted a new air filter pipe and throttle cable plus a new lever. I've started playing with the exhaust just too see what it looks like etc. but not sure yet. Im thinking something like I have done but with a silencer like a tractor one but all of it made out of stainless.

another video for you all

I will have a proper test at weekend once I got throttle sorted better

A short video of tonight's adventures with the crawler on its first test run

Awesome! Only 1 day behind me
It needs censoring near the end too

I'm not telling

Well done Nathan - get yourself a pump I have some cylinders =BULLDOZER.

another video for you all

Well I've been to the workshop today and thought I would spend a quick ten min on the crawler what actually turned into 4 hours. Hope you like the photos and video I have only rebuilt it too see what it looks like as I have never seen one before it will get restriped ready for restoration.
