After a backfire and chomping on some teeth, she started.

Just in time for Christmas!

Well, you are correct, that you don't see a clutch or brake pedal. However, it has a centrifugal clutch and the lever with a wooden handle is the brake

The worst part. Decided to go for a lacquered bare metal finish because, well, it's easy and big fans of the rusty/patina look! Final product. Video soon. Hopefully.

He walks with a limp because he broke his back trying to jump a Winnebago and the front axle squashed him against the roof on landing (ouch). There is a video of it on his channel but I can't watch all the way through, so I think he sticks to filming jumps these days

Sorry for being slack with updates. However, progress is being made and it now has a bonnet, grill and steering. It is also running a Kohler K181 with a 28mm Amal carb. Belts are hooked up, wiring...well, works? Haha it needs tidying. So hopefully I will have some pictures and perhaps a video of a test drive this weekend? I believe it a Peerless 1050

Yeah, there's a 90 box just below the engine

Progress...

As the title suggests, any ideas?

Love it! Its an old machine, is it not?

Lets just say, I'm glad we're not doing 100mph

Update... Milling down the wheel hubs Sizing Finished article Front axle Bonnet ideas Spindle angulations Wheels attached now

August bank holiday is always a busy weekend

Looks very nice indeed!

So..I'm super excited about some news i have received from Spain. That's right Spain! The little bike is gonna be published in a bike magazine from overseas! Mondo Biker Magazine visited way back in May to take a few pics and I hadn't heard anything until yesterday, when Joseba emailed again asking for me to fill a Tech Spec sheet ASAP because he wanted to publish the bike Its a pretty well established magazine too http://mondobiker.com/ shame its in Spanish Here's a sneak peak photo he sent me

The guy that is driving it, fixed up and repainted the tractor for his daughter, who comes to every show she can

It's a Montgomery Ward as far as I know?

I know this is a little old, but i forgot to post this here Anyway, hope you enjoy these few clips from our time at Harvesting the Old Fashioned Way - West Stoke - 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggiVJzE0Q78

Kohler K181? Peerless 1200 series transaxle, Ford Model Y rear wheels...so far I started as a tubular frame tractor, something a little different? But it is starting to be inspired by the Villiers Bike, there are plans to build a trailer to tow the bike I'll try my best Niget!

Thought I would join in with these mysterious home build guessing games
