The copper exhaust pipes on the Villiers Twin could withstand the heat, even with a 180 degree bend. I know brass has a lower boiling point, but they should be okay, if not slightly discoloured   

My Dad pick this up this morning for a tenner. All I can find is a grainy image of a lawn edger that was once for sale, so any ideas? i assume it was one of those engines that was bolted to many small machines.

I've got to say it is a great feeling working together on this project we both seem to be on the same page and learning from each other considering we both have warped minds it will be very interesting to see what the end project will be, but I am certain it will be a very good working tractor built on a budget of less than £100

 

Building on a budget always brings out the best ingenuity and ideas!

haha, I had just found this piece of music, and thought, 'hey, that'll make a cool montage type video!'

I got bored the other day, so I made a short edit of this years show season   

Where's the bar?!

Should give you some nice low gearing for ploughing, right?

I think the last car is a Saab 96. It looks like a V4 model, but some had inline 3 2-stroke engines, how freaking cool is that?! They sound awesome

Please keep us updated!

Thats a nice front axle, never seen that before myself

I did a terrible job a taking photos, but here's a video for whoever's intersted

 

Held near Lavant, Chichester, this show boasts a unique working area that allows for old combines, threshers and balers to be put into action

 

 

 

Great photo's and video Max. The home made tractor is a nice machine, the engine sounds great in the video

it does sound great with that huge v-twin diesel turner engine

 

I dont actually have a picture of the tractor, it probably had a crowd of people around it when i went past with the camera

I'm sure it's a homemade tractor, think it may have been on eBay a while ago.

Yes indeed, it is homemade and was on eBay a little while ago the front wheels are hydraulic driven and it does have a trailer with a matching turner v-twin mounted on it. The same model engine that drives the hydraulic pumps for drive and steering.

I don't know why I didn't include a picture of the whole tractor, I'll try and find one tomorrow :DJ

You can see it in action in the video!

 

We will be leaving in about 20mins  

Fingers crossed the weather holds out

thats a slab of steel if i've ever seen one

Looks good fun. The dog enjoyed it's self as well.

 

Cool video Max, that looks like great fun.  There's something about going sideways that always brings on a big grin

 

The dog looked very tired at the end though, the poor fella could only run very slowly

 

He is the star of the show! i think he's appeared in 90% of our videos

A work horse , to go with your wheel horse

The 29th annual Rudgwick Steam & Country Show held near Horsham. A very large show that always presents a great amount of variety. It lasts the whole three days of the august bank holiday weekend so attracts a lot of people

 

Here's their website, thankfully the show is more organised than the website  http://www.rudgwicksteamshow.co.uk/

 

 

 

 

It's too much fun! 

 

 

 

I'll try and record a video this weekend

Gone are the days of painting your grey fergie red to impress the neighbouring farmer

you would need some very long arms it seems, haha

The grill is going to look great!
