Thanks Andrew Thanks Iain. I've been compared to a lot of people (mostly Rednecks) over the years, but never John Wayne The secret is to wear the hat backwards.. More aerodynamic that way Well chaps, WN now has a fully working suicide shift.. Working out the linkage was quite easy, making it all fit between the chassis and steering rod was not so easy.. Your have to wait til the next video to see it in action I'm afraid, but here's a few photo's to give you an idea. Pulling back on the shifter pushes the rod at the base forward.. Which pushes on the top of the L shaped pivot thingy and thus causes the next part of the linkage to be pulled down.. Which pulls down on on the cut down bike foot shifter and thus you have 1st gear.. I'm sure you can work out how to get the other 4 gears I've no idea which model Wh this pedal came from, but it makes a great clutch pedal.. By sheer luck the Honda's clutch cable couldn't of been a better fit.. With the cable routed over the top of the engine, the end that need to be connected to the pedal ends up about here.. That should make it very easy to connect

Hi Fergus, welcome to MOM.. Your plans for my old 6x6 sound interesting. I did plan to put a dozer blade on the front, I even bought all the steel to do it, just somehow never got around to it. Your lucky it was still for sale as I almost bought it back a month or so ago.. Lucky for you I decided my workshop was just too small to squeeze it in If you have questions about the 6x6 please feel free to PM me.. As Mark (Meadowfield) said above, it's good to have the 6x6 back in the fold

A fantastic collection Mark... You just need to change the quads bodywork a bit so it matches the other machines.. At least it's red

£230 for a GT-14!!

That would be cool Mark.. Thanks

I've not seen one of those before, very nice.. Is the roller split into 3? I've never seen that on anything before!

Thanks mate.. That's two words too I was thinking of using my welding mask.. Let's hope it's not a sunny day or I won't be able to drive towards the sun Tally Ho Chaps

Hi guy's, I'm looking for a pair of Wheel Horse rear lights and a seat for Why Not. As much as I'd like to find a genuine WH seat with the logo thingy I think that's unlikely, so any seat will do as long as it's black, has no rips or tears, and the back isn't low..

Maybe you could start a new trend Matt. Custom painted hand tools.. Any color you like as long as it matches what ever else you were spraying at the time

That's a nice find Darren, it should keep you busy for a while.

Still time to change your mind Norm..... Ok, maybe not My first thought when seeing the hood in shiny steel was to have flames in shiny steel and black for the rest, but I am strange like that

I'm going to guess Bendy won... I think the video gave it away Mark

I bet it was a lot of work to get such a good paint finish on the screwdrivers Matt

The hood looks good in bare metal Norm, have you thought about polishing it smooth and giving it a coat of clear rather than black? Or should I not be giving you ideas?

Time for the rest of the update.. The hood stand has had a couple of bit's of box welded to it. Which along with a couple of hefty mounting brackets has put a lot of strength into it, no longer does it wobble when the steering is turned. The n/s foot plate has been fully welded and ground down.. I did for a while yesterday think about having foot gear change and a suicide clutch, but decided I'd rather have both hands on the wheel when the clutch is dropped at 9000rpm This is the mount for the suicide shift made for a bit of thick steel and a cut down bike swing arm bolt.. Shifter mounted and the linkage worked out, though you will have to wait until the linkage is done before you see it. The fender pan has been bolted down, but I thought a photo of 6 bolts would be boring so I didn't take a photo.. And to finish off this update, I needed to work out where the pedals would go so I climbed aboard, at which point Nigel wandered (not waddled ) in and grabbed my camera

Wandering not waddling Thanks Andrew, yeah the pipes do look cool Paint is a little while off yet though.. Need to test drive it first Well, I've not managed to get much done this week due to a mixture of illness, visitors and having carpet fitted at home.. Both foot plates are now bolted down, I found some bike mounting brackets with captive nuts which came in handy and are much more fun to use than drilling through steel box.. This bit of box does not carry any weight and is only there to stop the top of the foot plates from vibrating.. I will add a little bit of bracing though. Er,,, more to come later as it now looks like I'm off to the workshop today! But here;s something to make you laugh, it did me... I ordered some air filters which arrived yesterday... I may of got my sizes wrong!

Wow, the rust worms have been at work!! But I rather like the look, as you say Martin, it has a certain charm The belt guard looks repairable but I wouldn't fancy trying to tackle the curves on the fender pan!

That's a nice find Paul, I like how solid and well built it looks.. A world apart from today's plastic rubbish.

Welcome to MOM Alfiee, good to have you aboard That's a nice collection of little and no so little tractors. Love the "big and little's" photo

Bendy looks great Mark, certainly RS calender material

A rather nice find Tom, is the bag not repairable?

Nice finds Ben, I dig the Ransomes with that groovy fuel tank

What a great use for some old toys... Top work

That's great news Martin, so when do we see the photo's?

Strange you should mention paint Norm, I was just looking up paint on Fleabay.. It will be a while before she get's a few coats of shiny stuff though. Don't worry Chris, test driving will come before final painting Thanks Mark
