It has been a very long time since Joseph and I logged into MOM. I hope everyone is well and we hope to spend more time on forums over the winter. We are still working on garden tractor projects and posting updates on work but these days we are only posting on Joseph's Youtube channel and posting a new video every week.
We are currently working on a 1968 Wheelhorse Raider 9 and it has taken us a long time to get our heads around the way things work on a Wheelhorse. I expect that most of the work we have done is bread and butter to Wheelhorse owners but it is new to us and as such, it is great to learn something new. We have just finished repairing the front axle which was the subject of a recent video.
If you are interested and want a giggle about how we are struggling with this tractor, you can find all the previous videos on Joseph's channel.
At Rural Past Times last year when we were doing some ploughing, we had a bit of an issue with the heat from the exhaust heating up the fuel. We decided to make a new exhaust and the aim was to have it exit the hood as close to original as possible. It turned into a bigger job than expected.
Joseph made a video of the new creation, as usual I was the cameraman but I did get to do a couple of jobs
After finishing the last project I thought it was time for a bit of a rest but Joseph had other ideas. The new project is a 1964/5 Bolens 900 which has been in storage since 2004, which was before he was born.
As usual my role is one of cameraman. A quick introduction by Joseph aka Garden Tractor Boy
Spring has sprung and it was time to get the HT23 ready for grass cutting. The good news is Joseph did most of the maintenance but unfortunately he now does most of the driving too. I could not believe how much our grass has grown over the last week or so.
We were caught out by the snow last year and had to rush around getting the snow blade out of storage. Joseph wanted us to be prepared this year just in case we get snow. He had made a video of the preparation
Half a Horse looks great and you have done a fantastic job Alan. Now this project has come to an end, I will miss the updates but I am looking forward to reading about the next project.
