Good job, Chris. 
 
  I'll not ask where the Marina linings came from.

Now Bill and Ben have their front axles fitted with spindles and track-rods.
Steering feels nice and positive so I’m pleased with that.

Early update as I’m going out tonight, I managed to get the other 2 track-rods done this afternoon so another tick of the list.

Found some photos...
 
Tiller steering rather than a steering wheel but bonnet and rear fender etc look very similar...

Brilliant workmanship as usual Chris and cracking on with your projects as well.

Today I’ve been looking at track-rods, all the ones i have seem to have play in them and as ive got a few ends in stock I thought I’d make some new ones without buying anything.
Started with a length of rod cut into 4 lengths and machined down in the lathe and threads cut.
Done two to see if they work which they do so I’ll make another pair tomorrow.

Bill and Ben get their hoodstands cleaned up and a coat of primer today.



Had a look at the side panels and they look a bit rotten along the bottom and ive only got one pair so I’m gonna need some sheet tin to make a new pair.

Small update as it’s a day of rest.
Ive sanded off the steering parts and given them a primer fitted together and fitted them in the chassis’s.
Ive noticed the Lawn Ranger  doesn’t have the bush at the end of the lower rod and its not listed in the parts manual but as i have a few in stock I’ve fitted them. 

Chris I gotta tell ya I have the utmost respect for you having the patience to do projects like you do restoring old horses and giving them a second chance in life.
 
That being said after working on commission at GM Dealerships I have zero patience for any kind of project. It was drummed into my head that we must complete all repairs and return to the customer within 24 hrs.
And yes I see a psychiatrist twice a week because of it and I retired in 2013......
