Hi I am fairly new to this site although I have been restoring Wheelhorse tractors since 2008, I guess you have sold your MM by now, I am looking for one  if you have not sold it, and  for some spares for the gearbox as I am restoring one at the moment, mine is missing the rear shaft in the gearbox and two gears than fit onto it, do you happen to know anyone who has worked on one of these gearboxes that may have some dimensions so as I can get the parts made, I am on the Isle of Wight , no one over here to help; Regards Chris.

I’ve got a McCormick G30R in at the moment. Very good machines I think. Very compact and versatile. 

Had a bigger job on today helping an elderly friend . Digging a 1/8 acre walled garden and around 1/4 acre ex veg patch. Gutbrod working had with help from a McCormick G25

Stunning! 

Here’s yesterday’s progress, still a lot to do but the parts pile is going down,

Yes mate we will have a catch up in due course, stay safe !
 
 

Hi Paul, it has been a while since we last had a catch-up and we must do so once the current situation is over. Over the Christmas break we picked up another Cub Cadet original as a parts machine but since then we have managed to find a lot of parts that means we may have two viable tractors
 
 
Hi Alan, I hope you are well and it will be good to catch up soon. Mum was not impressed and we have not worked out where to store them yet  I have never seen the roads this empty before, even in the middle of the night
 
 
Hi Andrew, unbelievable to find these two 30 minutes down the road. We were looking at the G12 today and  in the daylight it is clear that it has a green chassis, the same colour as the HT23 which make it even rarer. I have never seen another with a green chassis.
 
Stay safe an well everyone

Great haul and two rare Bolens, particularly the G12. 

All part of the game Chris.    I know the feeling. 

Once finished they had the right shape i was looking for but very flimsy so I’m not going to use  them.
Luck I’ve got a plan B

All the credit goes to my son Steve for the hood work,   Don’t know what I would have done without him
Made a start on the rear fenders, i cut the boot floor out  of a Scenic that my son was scrapping.
I thought I would get 4 fenders but not to be



Took ages to clean them up and the tin isn’t very thick

At a price I couldn’t resist... we acquired this very tidy Westwood 16 hydro with sweeper. 
Reckon it only has 50 hours on it.
No battery, fuel pipes persished, flat tyre, etc.
 
watch this space....
 

 

What did mum have to say about these extra toys Joseph.  Or did you sneak them in while dad distracted her.   Nice quiet roads too.

Great video young man
 
Tell Dad he won't have room for that old Cub Cadet now lol
 
 

Just before the lockdown in the UK we went on a roadtrip. The roads are usually very busy but they were empty. Two great addions to the collection
 
Stay safe everyone
 
 

Scratching my arse for some thing to do up the workshop so I will have to start a project out of bits I’ve got laying around, I haven’t a clue what it’s going to be, but these parts will make a start
 
 

Another step nearer Chris.  Hoods look really good.   You have trained your Steve well. 

Yes and. He’s almost finished a Mk1 cortina

Looking fabulous Chris
 
What's the blue classic car? Ford Anglia?

Making progress with the bonnets.

My new tyres arrived yesterday, very pleased with them almost the same size and a third of the price. As the rims are old i put new tubes in them as they were only £6 each.
Now both the boys are on the floor and rolling.

Looks fabulous Chris. Those tyres looks the DB's.

It lives.... I thought the carb was a goner as it had so much black tar inside that I couldn’t get out. Fortunately brother has an ultrasonic cleaning tank. 
Sorted

Sorting out the front tyres from the back of the shed, I knew these would come in handy one day.
No prizes for guessing where they came from, .
The wheels that i made I decided to put nuts and bolts through them although I welded them it’s just a safety issue, also found some shiny capped nuts to add a bit of bling.
