4x4forks

Hi All is anyone going to the Great Dorset Steam Fair. I normally go for a few day and camp but Iam just going for a day visit on friday. Would be good to catch up with fellow tractor fans

I bought a wheel horse years ago. When I tryed to start it I was getting blue stuff out of the fuel line .I found a kids plastic car, Or what was left of it, in the fuel tank. Good catch

Its more like a race for the keys and I lost. He is 6ft4" and his legs are longer than mine. We were using 2nd gear as it was a faster rotor speed . I made a much simpler locking frame that bolted to the rear linkage drop bracket. Quick to attach and de-attach and worked a treat. I will take photos and post . My son got the second gutbrod up and running and used it to roll the soil after seeding. Not bad after not running for 10 years .

Yes thanks .Had to make bracket underneath but works very well.

Got my stunt drive hard at work leveling out spoil over some virgin ground which were old ruts . Very hard clay ground but the machine coped well. The reduction hubs make such a difference . Thanks John

Great Job! but if you were towing a mini digger you have lost it

Now thats an Idea !!!!!

Well I found the light switch and with the aid of my stunt driver, Here is the finished Hydraulic tipping trailer. Really pleased with it. Link armes raise and lower when trailer tips and lowers but small price to pay.

Here is my picture of a black pig in a bag

Its a bit to dark now........

Well the ground is to wet to do anything so I started a new project. A hydraulic tipping trailer. As i work with Fork lifts I aquired a damaged side shift Ram . I stripped and straightened the rod. Closed lenght of 75cm . Had to cut the trailer about a bit to allow for the arc of the ram but nothing to drastic. Now run out of Mig wire. I will post some photos when I have it abit more together

That looks like it will be a lot of fun . Glade to see it has finaly arrived

May be a braker if anyone wants any Gutbrod 1032 bits let me know. I haven,t decided yet but I have more than enough prodjects at the moment, I have a MG midget that i am doing a full body restovation and engine and gearbox change.

Hi all. I have just picked another Gutbrod 1032 in desperate need of restoration but complete. I have a question for everyone , Can anyone tell me what the leaver on the left side of the transmition dose. It conects to a leaver on the left front side of the PTO housing. The leaver at the front has a form of latch on it and when moves it seems to lock the transmition. The tractor is a non runner at the moment so can,t test it . My lad surgested it was a park brake ??? Can anyone help Please. My current tractor dose not have this fitted.

Ground is water loged everywhere but she had to be tryed on this little bit of mud. We did have a small go direct digging on grass and I was very impressed . It is not set very deep in the pictures but will post some pictures when we have a go in more appoprate conditions. Oh and 16hp seems to be tolaly ace with direct digging in wet ground and no reduction hubs

I Have received today my new toy from Germany . A rotovator for my Gutbrod 1032 . This was all due to a very helpful MOM member John, without whom this would not of been possible. Off the pallet and straight onto the tractor then try and find a dry bit of ground to give it a try. Great bit of kit, No noises and very sound condition. This was being drven in low gear but no reduction hubs. Still looking for them. I will upload a bit of video when I can. (this is my son driving not me) When will it stop raining????

I order all my belts from Ebay . so much cheeper and you order them by lenght and section, A B etc

Hi John Looks like it may need a power input on the right hand side of the hopper. Maybe a land driven wheel. Commercial ( full sized) machines are land wheel driven. Great looking bit of kit.

Nice looking bit of kit . Good purchase
