Would never have thought they would be cast. Do the wheels not fit in your blaster?

The idea of split rims was that because the tractor is a skid steer, it may pull the tyre off the sealing rim and deflate the tyre (if no inner tube fitted). I don't image a wheel designed for splitting is very easy to remove the tyre the conventional way over the edge if they are welded up? I would cut the bolts and replace with csk hex bolts.

Wish you found this before I made mine, would have saved me a lot of measuring and figuring out!

Out of the bag/packet I trust and NOT the tray?

I think it's lost its properties by then.....

It's Impossible to keep things tidy whilst doing a project or two, just have to clean up in between projects.

Took a year to make these by the time I got the castings done ect.

Don't think they would fit in one shot!

Would like to do that with mine in the summer, if we get a nice day!

Workshop is looking the tidiest I think I've ever saw it!

Won't make it the weekend coming maybe the next.

That's good, could have a working machine for Malvern......

I hope you find the gearboxes, anything after that could be fabricated, I suppose the gearboxes could be made aswell.

All sold via EBay.

The seal on the input flange where the engine couples, real pig if it has to be done on the tractor. You have the 3 speed box fitted now though.

Looking at those pics i don't envy you at the moment....

True,

I'd be replacing the input drive seal while it is off as it is a nightmare to do when on the tractor, easily the worst seal on the tractor to replace. Even if you don't think it needs done for the sake of £5, it's worth it.

Might trade a skimmer against the canal tractor!!!

I'm not sure that would be a fair deal... Maybe once it's restored

Shame about having to split it up.

Wish I had baught that skimmer chassis now.

Thought it would be, staight pipe.

The bit on the end of a normal MG2 exhaust which flanges out is called a fish tail, 137 has a straight pipe though.

Is it loud without the fish tail?

Looks great, on to the next ones! Month and a half to go!

The the series A won't fit on 137?

Would be interesting to see if 137 will run reliably with a wico mag put enevrything else out of the picture if not already?

think it's time to build a blade for the MG6.

Thought you would have had more, ours started Thursday night and was still going at 7 on Friday, ended up with about 3" locally but as soon as i left the town there didn't seem to be any!

I had a crawler that run well once and fired but couldn't get it to run agian, condenser looked new so didn't touch it. After testing for spark under compression and removed the mag I found that the condenser casing was fitted but it was empty! Fitted a condenser and off it went, proved engines do run without them intermittently although that was a wico magneto.
