I thought those were Lombardini 8hp engines Norm

What's the diesel engine make. Joseph?

Very nice upcoming projects, looking forward to all, but especially the Westwood diesel.
 

I've just reminded Calvin about that Andrew.  He's still blaming me for not installing a guard to keep feet away from steering gear.   

Alan, Calvin might be a tipsy from his glasses of Christmas sherries to be of any help...... just thinking of the brambles event at RPT back in August...

And don't forget the photo's and video.  I know of a D-160 test driver if Joseph is too busy behind the camera.

Spoilt for choice a bit. But no doubt all three will be up and running by New Year.

Today Joseph and I hooked his tractors of choice out of storage for some Christmas workshop fun. A very diverse choice this year
 

 
We last used this Westwood diesel back in 2010 and I can't remember what is wrong with it
 

 
We last used the D-160 about 18mths ago and it has a number of electrical issues
 

 
You may remember this Bolens Husky 1054 from John's. We have already invested a lot of time and parts into this tractor and still have lots to do

A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone from Joseph and me.

Great progress Norm, it is looking really good.

First photo' is where the crack is. As you can see it's barely visible. You can't see it with naked eye.
 

 
So I have this metal repair epoxy adhesive which I've used before with success on a petrol tank.
 

 
 Below is it applied.
 

 
 The sump is now on the bench and filled with oil. I'll leave it there for a couple of days.
 

Managed to get quite a bit done today. One or two hiccups, but a good day.
 
  Got the engine painted this morning and the paint dried quite quickly.
 


 
  By lunch time it was back in place.


 
  Next I fitted the drive belt and this was when I hit problem number one.  As you can see in the photo', the bottom run is under the brake pedal. Should be over the top. So foot plate had to be loosened, the pedal moved out and the operating rod disconnected from the pedal. Got that correct and moved on to the P.T.O.
 This provided a little snag, as the support bar would not connect to the pulley spindle. Cured that by taking everything off again and moving the drive pulley further in. It wasn't quite fully on by about 1/16". Just enough to prevent support bar connecting with the shaft. All OK now.

 
  Fuel pump is now refitted along with governor linkage.
 
   Finally I thought it a good idea to fill the engine with oil, which I duly did. After which I did a bit of tidying up before returning to the tractor.
 
 Then I SAW IT.  A big puddle of oil under the tractor. The C-125 has a tube attached to where the drain plug would be. I'd forgotten to fit it.
  
   

Yes a very Happy Christmas to all on here!
 
Best Wishes
 
Andrew

Merry Christmas every one and a Happy New Year.
