OOP's,  I forgot Calvin had his specs on.

Another good video Joseph, with a little help from Dad.    I somehow missed seeing your August 20th photo's Norm.    The young lad on Half a Horse is called Calvin and my excursion into the bushes was not due to my specs,  jamming the steering mechanism with my foot did the trick.

Good vid' lads. Thanks!

Excellent video Joseph, thanks for sharing good times at the RPT

Brilliant video Iain and Joseph. Just looking at the Bolens/ Wheelhorses working the ground is making me wishing that RPT come around quickly. Thanks for posting. Roll on RPT 2019....

I attended the Newark Tractor & Heritage Show on the weekend of 10th & 11th November 2018 weather was good but it made no difference as we were inside here are some pictures

Alain, I am not sure they are getting any better but if you think so that great, thanks
 
 
Alan and Andrew, thanks for your support Sadily dad is becoming redundant. Gone are the days when Joseph would just watch me, sometimes I now get pushed out of the way and he takes over
 
Over the weekend I expect we will finally finishing editing the video from the summer RPT show and if I recall correctly, you all have staring roles. Time to hide

Andrew,  not seen in the video, but Joseph has a concealed remote and is also flying a camera equipped drone at low level.  So, no need for a redundant Dad.  

How Joseph can direct, produce and film this as well as owning and driving the HT20 is a complete mystery to me.
 
 As you say where is Iain? Come to think of it; WHO is Iain?! 

Another good video Joseph.    I notice that your Dad is nowhere to be seen AGAIN.

I'm just wondering how long it will be before I start seeing commercial movies you produce, great job.

Great find Ewan, I love it.

Was lucky enough to find this gem the other day, picked it up today. Apparently only 750 made. It was made by Moto mower and Massey badged them. 
 
Here are some pics, please let me know if anyone knows anything about them. 
 

 

 

 

Last three Wheelhorses back home today, shed is finished ! (almost )
 

Shelves now all in place and carpeted...
 

Wood run to Norfolk today for some supplies for the new shed
 
Plenty of wood here to play with lol
 
Thanks to Iain and Joseph (and Caroline for feeding us both) !
 

What's not to like about a snow blower Great find Chris, you will ready for the next Beast from the East
 
Iain

Great find Paul. Probably better if I do not show this to Joseph as one of these is on his wish list 
 
Iain

Happy birthday Paul, I hope you had a great day.
 
It was good to see you and Wendy today

After discarding the chain drive the top sprocket was drilled and tapped 4 BA and an alloy bar bolted to it.  This bar was drilled with extra holes for the push / pull rods so that various positions could be tried.  The same was done with the bottom sprocket.   The threaded rods are M6.  These will be changed to round bar later and a better top bar made.  All a temporary try out for now.
 

 
Although this arrangement was better than the chain, there was still a lot of free play.  A lot of this was from the various universal joints and male / female connections between the bottom sprocket and the front wheels.  Better fitting U/J centers  were made and various Male F/M  joints drilled and tapped for grub screws which tightened things up but still not enough.  The gap between the pin and it's through hole can be seen below.  The cavity for the small coil spring didn't help either as a lot of the bearing surface was lost.  This was not used in the replacement centers.  Probably cheap U/J's found at my usual parts supply location.
 

 
 
 

Happy birthday Ewan, I hope you have a great day.
