i was looking at some you tube vids and a few of the lads on there bolted a piece of railway track to a heavy piece of wood till they could get an anvil

as my old grandad used to say "SPIT on it lad" it will be right by morning he he he

it sure is a shame to scrap them though

thanks chaps only reason i said 3000rpm is if ive got my calculations right at 3000rpm i will defiantly be running the pump at a higher rpm full revs

thanks mate

am i right in thinking when engine revs flat out it should be going 3600 rpm ???

hi chaps wondered if you could help me w/h c161 16 hp kohler with the engine running and the pto clutch engaged what would the rpm of the drive pulley be lets say half revs im trying to work out the pulley size if i was to run a hydraulic pump at say 3000 rpm

hi guys been rotovating tonight and my wh rotavator keeps stalling even when I have it just tickling the soil my first thought was to tighten the clutch but the adjusting screw if full hard on can you get replacement clutch plates do I need to get re lined if so any info on relining would be great thanks in advance just to make it clear it was the clutch plate stalling not just the belt

just had a look and I think there 1975 models

there both commando 800s 8hp kohler engines not sure of the year the serial nos are 145932 and 145494 model nos the same 1-0141

managed to pick these up yesterday so thats 2 more not on the scrap heap cleaned the fuel tanks out of old petrol and new petrol added checked the oil levels charged the battery's cleaned points and plugs 1 of them needed a new coil had a spare and away they go 1 needs a muffler on the exhaust (1 on order of the net) NOW THE BIG QUESTION DO I RESTORE OR LEAVE ORIGINAL ?????????

first time I've managed to get any work done on this but I thought id just put a few pics on so you can see how its going with working long hours and waiting for parts to arrive not a lot been done but here you go

have a great birthday

that's great thank you for that

a picture would be great if you have 1 as it would give me a better idea of what the finished thing looks like

i found him to tractor is looking good im not sure about this pink idea lol

tyres was on there when I bought it a few weeks ago !!! yes going to extend it so there is 2 bars 1 either side on the axel was going to leave them long so that I can mount oil tank across the back also double the wheels up at the back as ive got a spare set or rear rims (just need tyres) I seem to remember a post about filling the rear tyres with antifreeze or something ill have to have a look at past posts I just thought that would help with the weight distribution I still think that either the front arms are to long or the whole frame could do with going back 6or 10 inch but to be fair if I did move it back I wouldn't get the bonnet up ????

this one is the right way round sorry

finaly got round to getting the cutter out and waving the stick welder about so I thought id give you a little up date on this haven't received the rams yet so I haven't welded on the ram pin plates yet but they are cut ready but I just thought it would be better to wait just incase they not the size stated my next port of call will be to make the bucket im thinking that the loader arms are to long but ill see when I get the bucket made and on

coach painting right never new that heard of it but didn't put the 2 together I bet its another great trade that lost due to modern ways

I remember years ago I watched an old boy that worked with my dad and he was painting a lorry cab he was using what he called red lead (I think it was red oxide) and he was just brushing it on but before that paint went on the metal it went on a gas ring until it almost boiled after 2 coats of red the final 2 coats of top coat went on (green) the same again before the paint touched the metal was almost boiling and I tell you this there was not 1 brush mark in that body work and you would of thought it was sprayed. After that he hand sign written it in gold looked lovely funny what you remember as a kid isn't it

this is my Alfie boy he's not much of a hunter though he's more up for fine wine and dining

I was thinking of something similar but was thinking of putting side steps on the sides so that I could get a horse underneath at the same time for storage but I would need to have a measure up to make sure I've got the head room

well I've had a play today and after putting exhaust back on and leaving her running on tick over she purrs like a kitten going from full revs to idle she might pop now and again but nothing like she did when I started so I have got to admit that it must of been either the condenser on the wrong side of the coil or a bad earth combined with the carb not set right but I think im finally there with her. now I no what im doing there will be parts ordered to do a full rebuild been onto a local guy to me and he said he can either re sleeve and go original piston or re bore and go oversize piston what do you guys suggest
