i just saw this on my news feed and i thought you guys might find it interesting

mind dose the same if I leave it for to long I take spark plug out dribble a bit of fuel down the hole replace plug then away we go its a bit of a ball ace but I just think thank god its started lol

not quite as neat a job as i would of liked but i think ive cracked it £4 on a bearing and i think ive done it its not finished but its usable not bad for £4 and a bit of time i might even tickle it with the paint brush lol

no i dont have the 2 pullys underneath the drive pully/clutch i first thought that i would be using the 2 pullys on the front belt tentioner but i can now see from your pic and a bit of digging around on the manuals you sent me ive got the middle idler assembly missing so ill have to get the lathe dusted down to see what i can come up with lol :hyper:

DO YOU NO IF MY WHEEL HORSE NEEDS THE MID IDLER SPOKETS LOCATED UNDER THE CLUCH PULLYS OR DO I NEED A LONGER BELT AS TO USE THE BELT TENTIONER AT THE FRONT WHICH YOU WOULD TENTION THE CUTTING DECK ?? MY 139 INCH BELT HAS ARRIVED BUT IS FAR TO SHORT TO GO ROUND FRONT PULLYS

silly question your belt is tight isnt it you tighten it by ajusting the black nob at the front end of tractor ??

YES I CAN THANKYOU SO MUCH HEADEXAM THATS VERY KIND OF YOU TO DO THAT FOR ME ILL LET YOU NO HOW I GET ON MAKES MORE SENCE NOW IVE SEEN THE BACK END PIC HOPEFULLY I MIGHT BE ABLE TO TURN SOME SOIL OVER TOMORROW NIGHT LOL

yes its complete with mule and 2 rear attachment brackets 1 for a spare its in fare condition its not nicely painted its in used condition but seems to turn freely and I did notice the mule needed a bit of wd 40 as it turned but seemed tight maybe new bearing or 2 but it may not have been used for some time and just needs freeing up going to have another look tonight just wanted a rough price as im not sure

HI GUY'S A BIT OF HELP PLEASE LOCAL CHAP FROM ME HAS GOT A WHEEL HORSE ROTOVATOR IVE BEEN LOOKING ABOUT BUT CANT SEEM TO FIND ANY IMPLEMENTS LOCAL TO ME BUT THIS GUY HAS GOT ONE AND ITS ALL THERE FAIR BE IT ITS SEIZED UP AND NEED FREEING OFF BUT ITS IN FAIR CONDITION JUST NEEDS A BIT OF TLC JUST WONDERING HOW MUCH THIS SORT OF THING GOES FOR AS IM WILLING TO PAY A LITTLE EXTRA AS ITS ON MY DOOR STEP BUT I DONT WANT MY LEG TAKING OFF THANKS IN ADVANCE TOM

my mrs would have me pants down

if only id got my container id have had that to tinker with over the summer nights ho well a better one might come up :)

did 1 of you guys buy it

needs some T L C but for what I gave for it and few quid tidying it up with a coat of paint will be just the job

im might have a bid on that one just need to make a new account so the mrs dont find out lol

As you will prob no the verniers today have a fare sized LDC display so its so much Easter to read I bought mine off eBay I think the 3 different sizes only cost about 60 quid which is still not cheap but when you think dro system would prob set you back about 1000 it ain't bad its a little different for me as I'm an engineer for my job and I've all ready saved the company enough Money to pay for the lathe and tooling and I don't really no what I'm doing.I'm turning scrap metal odds and sods into machine parts something free into a shaft or bearing housing that would prob cost 100/200 its only my time so gaffers happy and I'm getting experience in something new I think anyone that wants to do or try something in today's world should be you tubes best friend its like getting 20 years experience in 20 min then its just practice

Hi tom the only thing I would say on this is if you are a beginner like me try to find a lathe that has got auto feed it really dose give a pro finish using cheep eBay tools I bought myself Cole Chester triumph and boy she is a tool cost me £1250 delivered which I thought was fair only prob I had with it when I got it installed was it was only in thou / inches so the dials really meant nothing to me as I'm in metric but I watched on you tube and I see some lads on there was using vernier calipers bolted on to make there own dro so I've ordered 3 different size verniers to put on mine I'm not saying that its going to be 100% accurate but if you do your working out to leave 1mm final cut and then check your mesurment you can't really go wrong hope you get on OK regards tom
