Yesterday I collected a front blade/snow plough and a lawn sweeper from a fellow forum member. This morning as it was very wet here I took the opportunity to have a go at fitting the blade, all went well other than a bit of head scratching when I realised the adjusting arm wouldn't fit as it was fouling on the brake pedal. After a short while I realised if I took off the rod guide eyelet and release lever and turned the entire arm so that the dog leg is facing inward (the opposite to how it was) it would fit perfectly, it does. One pin was missing for the lift but luckily I found one of the correct diameter in my box of bits, it just had to be cut to length and drilled for the R pin. Off I went and pushed up the rather large compost heap and was very pleased with the performance. I also assembled the lawn sweep and had a quick play, it works fine but the height adjustment kept jumping out, once again the box of bits was out, and stronger spring fitted and all is well. I also received on Friday my freshly fabricated Clevis hitch which my Uncle started to copy from his original about five years ago! He's made a nice job of it and after a few adjustments to my Mouldbord Plough I was running in some half respectable furrows, I'm even considering entering my local clubs Ploughing match later this year.

While I was there I mentioned that I had noticed "a cell" of Wheelhorse collectors in the area! As far as I know there aren't as many over this way, although I do see one horse at the local rallies.

Looks good.
 
I know where you got them from. Just over a few fields from me

Put your request in the Wanted Section of the forum. 
 
Always good old to see something in use earning its keep.

If anybody has a rear axle quick attach they don't use I would be interested as I could then mount the Rotavator onto my C series and have this blade on the Raider, that would make quite a handy tag team!

As some of you know I entered the 2016 Annual ploughing match.
The ground was wheat stubble and had large mose patches which made traction a problem up hill, anyway i had a go.
Not having done it before i entered the novice class and was shown to my spot which was twice as big as the horticultural section and the only ride on tractor in the class all the others were full size tractors.
Anyway we marked out and did my opening and then carried on and did the patch ( and we weren't last to finish) I learnt a lot throughout the day with lots of advice from friends and need to make a few alterations to the tractor.
Heres the photos and running list and results, i was very pleased and had a good day and I wasn't last which was a bonus.

This post inspired me to take my camera to work with me today. Here is the C121 hauling a load of logs I'd just cut and the Raider rotovating a second pass on some pathways that needed reseeding:

Bought this 50 inch tiller for 200.00, the guy said it was for a D series and I believe it is, seemed to be in good shape. I also bought a Case/Ingersoll 44 inch trip/dozer blade with the lift bar and mounting plate, a 3 point Brinly spring tooth cultivator, and a nice old spike harrow all for 150.00

It is a lovely big garden, I've been lucky enough to have worked there for nearly twenty years and it was there that I first met a Wheelhorse.

I am very impressed with the standard of the tilling from the Wheel Horse rotovator. Very tidy.
That looks a decent size garden you are working in.

Before getting into horticultural machinery I collected stationary engines with my father. Of the engines we own this Ruston Hornsby APR
2 1/2hp model from 1928 is our most rallied engine.
The last photo shows it driving our Evans water pump.

I have had a quote to make up an original pattern Kohler exhaust but in stainless, but, the price dropped considerably (as you'd expect) when having a batch made up. I sadly don't have a wealth of cash to spend but wondered if anybody else has had a batch made and if any might be available? I'd also be interested in any new old stock that may be around for 10 & 12 BHP (the same size if I remember correctly).

I'm sure you guys know I like pictures so here are a few more for you!

I also got the deck out for a wash:


After it had been washed and oiled:


I'm still unsure whether to put the deck away in storage or sell it, I will never use it...
