didn't realise the rears tyres are tubeless. took the flat tyre (wheel) off to have a look and the valve came off in my hand, I bought a new valve and my mate (with a tyre machine) unbeaded the tyre and put the new value in, but couldn't get the bead to sit after and had to fill it with cheap hair spray and light it. Problem solved, I fitted the starter motor that came with it, and the pinion is too small, it turns the engine but then slips, Anyone know what size (starter motor) pinion i need for a Lombadini 510 ? or shall i just stop being tight and buy the correct starter motor ? 
 
plans are wheels off shot blasted and powder coated cream. Proper tractor style exhaust, and tractor style tyres. leave the patina paint and maybe a loader, for now get it running and have a working rolling project.
 

cheers!! all these posts are new to me ..... its like discovering ride on heaven 

Thought I'd share a few pictures of mine and dads new purchase..

Guess that's what happens when someone replies to a two year old post
I think we are all a bit older and wearier...

Thanks
Slow progress this week, but I did get a delivery transmission parts, plus some big chevrons as I've said before I like big wheels....


More to come

Our club contacted the chap on the homemade tractor and asked him if he would put on a working display of mini tractors. As far as I know he was trying to organise a club to encourage younger people to join our hobby, I didn't get a chance to have a word with him to see how he was getting on.
There was a good mix of tractors working and everyone looked to be enjoying themselves.
I particularly liked the Kubota B6000 with the blade on it.

hi mate, nice build! Hope you don't mind me asking what tyres are they ? they look well and i wouldn't mind some like that on mine 

you lot have inspired me

minty really didn't want it go

Archie did a ace job steering it 


There is 500 yard run between our fields and our house I dare not tow him on the road so i pushed it down the pavement, its weighs a bastard!

its now all tucked up in my garage. I'm a hoarder.

hahaha. Yes my Mrs was out in my van and i'd got no beer ...... so this happened

So that's what made him late

I had a Ferrari tractor but sold it last year to fund house improvements

Hi Ash, welcome to the forum.
You could always put some BIG wheels and tyres on it

Hello Ash and
 
Nice tractor

Welcome to MOM Ash, not sure if I'm the only one here that didn't know that Ferrari made garden tractors . It looks a nice machine .
You can now ask all the beautiful chicks if they want to go for a ride in your Ferrari .

thanks for the comments, here's a wee present
 

An overdue update...
Thought I'd get in the action on fender repairs, by the time I welded up the holes in a c series fender, I thought it easier to weld up the very rusty raider fender.
Here it is with most rust cut out and patched

And with the last patch in place

Time for a short video showing the final transmission arrangement and steering.

And some pics with the body mounted and engine


It was going to Newby, but now the GT is going there's no room...

C4 has felt neglected lately and last weekend I decided to test its limits.
It did pretty well, I think the limit is my own survival instinct

cant beat a 590, hell of a tool, though the 4wds had the turning circle of the titanic, even got the P.A.V.T on yours, is yours a 3 stick gearbox, or a 2 stick?

hello, Ive stumbled across this wonderful forum for like minded folk. 
 
I recently picked this up, Its not running but looks complete other then a starter motor. And a perished rear tyre due to it been stood on it flat. 
It has a diesel 10 hp lombardini engine and i think its 1970's and thats about all I know about it, My plan it to get it started. paint the wheels, maybe replace the tyres with more tractor like tyres and use it.
 
the first thing i found out about it was how heavy it is, I collected it on my own from someones back garden, had to get it down a alley with 90 degree bend, i had to lift and bounce it round, I think it was worth it.
 












any info would be nice
thanks Ash

i like it here I've just been having a good old nose about your threads !!!
 
little hijack of my one thread with a few previous build and a bit of back ground. (I'm a picture whore sorry)
 
i like anything old and thats moves. As a family we go to a few locals show
 
I like to start them young, this is my son ..... growing fast

 
when my old past, i wouldn't part with his mobility scooter so we did this,













he smokes about on it.
then i bought him this for his 4th birthday hahah a tad premature, So i got put away for a bit

he's now old enough to drive it around. But i need to weld an extension bar on the clutch. he just puts it in gear and pulls it out to stop

 
this is my toy

 
anyway enough time wasting I'm gonna bring the Ferrari from the barn to my garage t work on it, you have inspired me.
 
it has 28 x 9.00 - 15 turf tyres on. I'm thinking 
5.00-15 6 Ply BKT AS504 Open Centre Dumper Tyre, they'll fit right ?
