    :bow:  That's brilliant.  One thing though. I can't see clutch or brake pedals. Or am I missing something?

    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 :D

    Here's why he's looking for all those front ends and walks with a limp.

     

    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 :D

    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?

    What sort of 90 box is it as I'm after one my self loving the build by the way !

    That was my first thought when I saw the photo with the bonnet on :)

     

    Fantastic work Max, how much fun was it keeping the wheel hub and rim lined up for welding the spokes in? :D

     

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

    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 :D

     

    Its a pretty well established magazine too http://mondobiker.com/ shame its in Spanish :lol:

     

    Here's a sneak peak photo he sent me

    Wow looking good nice to see another project start what can you tell us about your machine good start !

    Kohler K181? Peerless 1200 series transaxle, Ford Model Y rear wheels...so far :D

     

    A nice build Max, does TBD stand for "To be decided"? :D

    I like the tube chassis, looks like it came from a dragster.. Which wouldn't be a bad thing :thumbs:

    I'm trying to work out in which direction the build is going..

    I'm guessing your going for a "Model T tractor" look...

    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 :D

     

    love it max hope you keep us updated with the build :)

    I'll try my best Niget!
