Dug this out from the storage shed and thought it would make a little winter project, I’ve got another one somewhere in bits so more rummaging when time permits.
A little challenge to build the pair together for next year’s shows.

A bit more progress on the 600. To make repairs easier we removed all the panels. Some were easier to remove than others and we found a few surprises.
 
Alan, dad did help a little, once I had woken him up :-)
 
 

This is the second part of our 1962 Bolens 600 project. In this video we fit new tubes to the rear tyres to make the tractor more mobile.
 
In this video I tried to talk a bit louder, Norm let me know if this is better
 
 

We have just bought a floor standing grit blaster for the workshop. The advert said that some assemble was required but we were not expecting it to be fully flat packed. We had lots of fun building it and I made a quick video. We just need to work out where it put it now

Dad helped.    Are you sure Joseph.  No sign of him.  We need video or photo proof to be certain.  Good video again.

That's the best. Keeps your hands soft and smooth. Gets the grease and oil off as well. Just make sure you wipe the bottle before you put it back.

Joseph. I just hope it is not Fairy's washing up liquid!!! 

We used tyre soap on the edges but it did help too much, I could not believe how stiff those tyres were. I will try some washing up liquid next time, thanks
 
 
Thanks, the tyre machine is great although the cylinders will need to be rebuilt when time allows. Dad does hold the camera

I see Dad has left you to do all the work again Joseph.  I think it's about time you sacked him.   Another good video, and nice to see the tyre machine, and you, in action.

I could hear you load and clear there, Joseph.
 
  I couldn't really tell on the video, so I've a little tip for you. When fitting tyres, smear some of your mothers washing up liquid round the tyre edge. Helps the tyre slide on and seat properly on the wheel.
 
  Just don't tell Mum and Dad I told you.

Thanks all, I had a great day relaxing for once. I've been really busy with the farm, machines, and saws, lots of projects going on.

Another great video Joseph. I'm looking forward to watching the progress

Good luck.Looks like a nice project  
 

We have started work on a new project, a 1962 Bolens 600. This tractor has been modified in the past and has lots of challenges. The tractor was bought in 2005 and has been in storage ever since. Like our other projects, I find it easier to record video rather than write up what we are doing, here is the first part
 
 

Looking forward to the pictures and updates. I keep telling dad we need to work on one of our WH's next

That'll keep you busy for a while, Joseph.
 
 Just a point with your video's. Can you keep nearer to the mic'? I find it a tad hard to hear what your saying. Going deaf/deafer in my advancing years.
