Cub Cadet

Thanks Paul! Have a safe journey

Yup I was just intrigued. He could really do with a manual but i'm not sure whether they made an in depth one. Harry, does the manual have any exploded views or images that may help him with the reassembly. Thanks

I guess the red is from someone painting it. The greyish colour could have been a primer but who knows.

It sure is! I wish him luck. hmm maybe Paul can shed some light.

Yes it doesn't look the best! Definitely a puzzle and they are both clueless with this tractor as am I!

@pmackellow do you know what colour it should've been originally. As you can see its in a sorry state but he is hoping to put it back together for his friend. It was his friends dad who took it apart many years ago and his son would now like to reassemble it.

Thanks for your replies, he's just sent me some photos which ill post. Its a 7hp engine so does that make it the 3 speed Colt version?

Hi, i'll get some pictures up shortly, I have a friend who has a Martin Markham in pieces. The previous owner took it to bits and now my friend is trying to put it back together but it needs some transmission work etc. Does anyone know if they had manuals with exploded diagrams on? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ewan

Nice job there

haha how did he manage that

Nice variation of exhibits there! I recognise that Wheel Horse in the last photo.

I keep looking at anvils but they seem to be expensive, yes i've got an air bed pump thats rigged up to it, works well in my opinion

Cheers Norm, I don't know how it'll perform on wood consumption, its only small but it certainly got hot on the test run! Bring it along

Thanks My mum has already commissioned some, quite a challenge to make without a proper anvil.

Last year I made a forge out a gas bottle we had laying around, i've made a few little things but nothing of much significance so I thought i'd make some shelf brackets. Slight cuts were put in them so I could bend them in the same place. All the components before bending, not bad to say they were done by eye Above the photo shows them with all the welding complete and a coating of wax. And the finished thing, the screws will get replaced eventually with black ones.

Good use of a mule drive, quick and easy to remove!

Ive had this small gas bottle hanging around for over a year, i've already made a forge out of a larger one but I have always wanted to make a little stove to cook on when we go to shows. with the help of my dads welding we knocked this up in a couple of days. The legs can be removed by loosening the bolts, the idea was to make everything quite compact. Im pleased with how its turned out, when I get round to it I need to add another air vent, a new handle and some other little bits but hopefully it will serve us well!

Just the engine I needed for my Wheel Horse rj58 i've just bought, I know that lots of Clinton engines came from the factory yellow. The one which I have is also yellow.

Great, thanks Chris! much appreciated

I have found the small flat idler pulleys on the bay but i'm looking for the 4" v pulley and have been struggling to find anything bigger than 2.50"

Good job Chris, gives me a couple more ideas. I started to make a couple of these idlers a few months ago for my tiller and never finished them. Does anyone know where I can buy a big idler?

Spot on!

No problem, cheaper than buying from the US

My Cub cadet had the same button and I ordered a similar one off ebay, not the one I bought but it looks like yours: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-New-Holland-Model-N-9N-Tractor-Starter-Switch-Foot-Operated-Push-Button-/222288087681?hash=item33c1670a81:g:vYUAAOSwal5YCO7r
