Glad you didn't paint it green like this one!

I'm not sure what it's meant to be.

I've only know Jonathan for about 20 years. Give me time and I'll start getting your name right.

There's still time then!

I'm actually glad that I went, even though I was soaked through then had to drive 60miles home!

Alfie the dog seemed to enjoy It anyway.

Interesting spelling Norman, as jonathan pointed out its Rhys, I see you've finally got the hang of spelling Jonathan 😀😀

Few pics I have.

I am pretty desperate but you wouldn't let me paint it, would you?

We've had a bit of snow in Jedburgh as well, strange weather!!

Not used to the competition Jonathan!

Had the MG6 out today, checking it over, fitting the bumper and toolbox ready for a rally next weekend.

I've got a sealey mighty mig 190, it's a good welder and reasonably priced, I just got a bottle from hobby weld, Adams gas ect. You pay a refundable deposit for the bottle and then just pay for the gas every time you run out regardless of how long it takes you, no need for monthly bottle rental. I wouldn't waste your time of the disposable ones unless you weld once in a blue moon, but then do you really need a welder? Or just use an arc.

It's defo a trusty steed now you mention it.

Correct wheels, mud guards ect.

A rollo tractor or do the wheels look to far apart?

No bringing Mum, Dad and the dog so will be arriving on sunday morning.

I'm booked in with the MG6 

Just passed my test a month or so ago. I went out an baught this so I don't have to rely on Dad driving me and the crawlers around, not bad for a first car/truck.

As you can see, I was just getting used to it when I tried to park it, seems to be a bit squint !!😀 (I'm better at it now)

Cheers Chris

Need to get the petrol engine running first.

If I have to I will.

Can you find out Chris?

Looking for a Drayton type 34R engine if anyone has or knows of one, willing to swap a rebuilt 600cc Ransomes engine

Steel insert was my plan although I am concerned about pressing it into an already fragile alloy head and the differential expansion issues.

 

I wouldn't worry about it to much, the aluminium will expand more/ quicker than the steel sleeve.

Steel I would imagine to allow it to be welded to the steel flange.

Here is a picture of a prototype MG2. It has higher sides, and the toolbar hinges from the outside of the tractor. It also has the T engine.

looks like its, hope thats not number 137!

Have you got the original engine? Do i spot a spare Ransomes engine as well?

You and me both, not sure how many known examples there are? Considered making one

No it was a my mg6! 😀😛 Thanks Jonathan, I'll see you soon.
