woz

in the first photo it looks almost like you had got him in that snare......

wow what an awsome but brave project.....iv never even heard of a sand skimmer....drop me a pm if you need any of the tin work fabricating...

its been irratating me that i failed to repair this tuff torque box,so i had another go at it today, iv replaced the damaged shaft with a wheel horse shaft and played with the splines in the dif.......i had it on our back field for over an hour thrashing it back and forth, iv honed my wheely skills.....the repair seems to have held this time.........

do any of your sheds have sky lights??

the engine seems lovely, the previous owner had just spent £110 on a new coil for it......seems to have good oil pressure, ticks over very low and doesnt smoke..so i guess time will tell....i cant live with the bonnet and steering so its definately going to get modified...i will keep in mind the air flow..i wouldnt of given it a second thought if you hadnt of mentioned it so thanks for that tip!!!!

come on guys.i cant beleve with all the combined knowledge on this forum nobodys knows anything about these mowers!!! iv had it a few days now.....i hate the bonnet.......the steering is awful and my narrow boat is more responsive........ the chassis looks decent enough.........the gearbox seems ok and the engine runs well... has anyone any expierience with these gearboxes?? what are these kohler horribly opposed engines like?? i cant post pics for some reason???

lovely machine,will you be using it as a worker or is this for show?

yes rang him...very nice fella and straight talking.....he doesnt have any shafts...the little t1600 is for breaking i think

i havent got the room to sleeve it aswell...its broke just past my weld, the shaft has many stress fractures running the length of the shaft......the box is a hydro gear.......

ITS FAILED........i did a propper job and ground the shafts to tapers set them in the lather and took my time welding it up.......a few times round the garden and its well on its way to sheering again.......i guess welding isnt a viable option.......

hi, iv bought a yard pro 1860..it has a kohler 18hp twin.could you please tell me.is it a v or oposed? how good are these engines...are these gearboxs any good..its a 6 speed roper??? ......how common are they?? is it worth restoring or just modify it..seems to have acres of cheap plastic.....does anyone have any parts??

evening chaps, i have a hydro t1600 westwood,the axle has snapped just past were it exits the trans axle.......iv dropped the half shaft out of the box today,ground either broken end to a point and built it back up with weld,iv run it up inthe lather and its within 10 thou ....i know iv probably wasted my time as iv now destroyed the hardening on the shaft but its wrth a try.....

i have quickly out grown the shed,, so today we moved all of the ride ons to another shed..i wasnt aloud to use the front end loader as gracey wanted to tow everything....

well chris i would if one of you lot will sell me something!!!! i think the shafts are made to hard in the manufacturing process. this looks like a piece of snapped wood rather than a clean break..

this ones got hydro gearbox...have been told they snap the shafts quite regualy?

hi, iv got a westwood t1600 and the back half shaft has snapped , does anyone know if the parts are readily availible (preferably second hand) or do i need to get busy with the mig welder??

thats a nice piece of kit, is the back axle driven?

your welcome to the robin sit on buddy

a huge thank you to my friend titch of machinery decals......i had a couple of mowers to collect today, titch dropped everything to help me out this afternoon.....

ford 7810 ........1989....all up and running ferguson t20 petrol....off farm condition... resto project

hi, my b111 doesnt collect grass.....is it a matter of changing/modifing the blades and fitting an extraction duct going to a collector on the back of the tractor????

iv just changed cars and im bidding on a tow bar so by the time newby is on i should be up and running again

thats a very kind offer but if he isnt telling the truth i wouldnt want to deal with him anyway .......iv bought hundreds of oily rusty lumps of metal over the years and can easily count on one hand any bad deals....it wasnt what iv set my heart on, it would of been something to restore when things are quite...

think i won it at £62 heres the message................ Hello I'm so so sorry but last night we had Thieves come around and steal all of are scrap metal and what appears to be anything that they could move, we lost your wheel horse l, all our bikes, my sons new engine for his bike I'm so sorry

if i cant get any of you to sell me a wheel horse for cash.....iv got a lister cs6/1 startomatic generator, was installed on a welsh hill side and used to power a sheep sheering station..have the original fuel tank,still in its original paint and decals, starts off the button.doesnt smoke with very low hours..if anyone interested in a deal on a wheel horse??
