It must be a lot warmer than it is here, if not, you need not worry about grand children for some time to come.

They must be drilling then injecting the waste water hydraulically. This is fracking and releases gas and oil trapped in rock. Many wells in our area in the past produced gas and oil both, or when oil stopped flowing gas was still produced, still more wells were drilled just for gas. This hydraulic fracking is crazy as the waste water they are injecting is poisonous. They claim they are injecting it far below the water table, but already some areas in the States have had this poisonous water reach their water table and wells.

? sorry, I am at a loss for your meaning

Hoping for a quick recovery. I know it is probably harder on you than her.

Nice job, and I bet they will work well!

Lots of natural gas and CNG everywhere, clean burning and comes out of the ground easily

Rock and Roll, not from a band, but from oil company fracking. Over 700 earthquakes this year magnitude 3.0 and higher, 5 times that many in total, a magnitude 4.7 early this morning. Fortunately I live in the far eastern part of the state and rarely feel a thing. Unfortunately the federal government is beginning to worry as there is a storage facility with over a half a million barrels and one of the nations largest oil pipelines coming into several very large refineries in the middle of the state. The government is worried that a large earthquake could disrupt the refinery and flow of oil; we in the state are worried that we will cease to exist. Even without the danger of earthquakes, injecting hazardous waste water below the earths surface to create hydraulic fracking is eventually going to effect (poison) the ground water. The politicians can make claims as to how safe it is, they're getting paid by the oil companies to say so, that does little to protect us peasants.

Glad you got it sorted out, it feels good to win one once in a while, lol

I had the same thing on a Briggs, turned out to be a condenser, almost drove me crazy because it was a new condenser I never checked it or replaced it, but Somehow I think it got a back charge that killed it. Spent weeks trying to find the problem, new coil, plug wire, flywheel key, etc

do cats give milk?

GREAT video and pictures, thanks for sharing. I wish I could have been behind you in one of my tractors, really looks like fun.

good thing you don't raise Jerseys

As already stated, that shop is going to do you nicely.

I have all the owner/operator, and parts manuals for Gilson/MW from 1965-1975, maybe later. They are a very well built machine of their own design, not a copy of another manufacturers drive train. They run Briggs engines for the most part, later in the 70's there were some model MW's made by Simplicity, and in the early 1960's a few MW models were made by Bolens and Simplicity? By and large though from the mid 1960's to the mid 1980 MW's tractors were Gilson made tractors. On a side note, late model Ford GTs after 1985 were also Gilson made. Engine parts shouldn't be a problem with the 12 hp Briggs. If it isn't froze up there isn't much else that some oil and a good working might not help.

I have never seen the gauges with a dial that do not thread, but rather turn and lock, but the bigger problem would be finding one long enough for the D200 tank. I could confidently say they do not make a cap with a gauge that long. It may possible to install some sort of fuel sending unit to a gauge on the dash

supposedly the chrome caps off a Honda fuel tank fit and look good. http://www.amazon.com/Stens-125-368-Replaces-17620-402-010-17620-ZE2-W00/dp/B0015MJSSM

Do not be discouraged, it still may show up. I would really go back and see if the people would not give you the window fitters name or where he worked out of and do some digging down that road, or area. Logistically it would have taken a truck and two men to pinch it, probably a covered truck, just saying.

I believe it does count Nigel, at least my vote says so.

I'll be iffy, this year, hopefully next year if I can figure a way to get a D160 on carry on luggage

Good choice, The Kohler K301 may be the best kohler engine ever made

They must call them something else in the States, search comes up nil for power file.

We have been plagued by hundreds, if not thousands, of Earthquakes every year since 2008 when oil companies started extracting oil using a method called fracking. Towns have been banned by the State from stopping this practices due to the oil companies influence. We are far away from the fracking activity, still we are occasionally affected, this morning at 4:30 am our Schnauzer Duchess was tossed from our bed, and we found we also suffered damage out doors. WE WILL REBUILD! Oklahoma Strong! Z Z Z Z Z Z Z

This just in: The Gazette ran a story about the stolen Wheel Horse http://www.gazetteseries.co.uk/news/14040416.Vintage_tractor_stolen_twice_from_same_Yate_street/

So you are saying being an Island is akin to being a sponge?

Ian, I watched that video about the little Grey Fergie, and that is the sweetest sounding little tractor ever. I doubt I good get across the Thames river bridge if I owned that tractor because my head would be so big.
