  1. Gobsmacked!!! That looks fantastic Max
  2. Some very nice fabrication skills going on there
  3. I don't want to part with this machine which has served me so well over the years, but when needs must!! A bit on the tatty side, but a good usable machine.. The cutting deck is from an early Raider, it has a few rust holes and a noisy bearing but cut's the grass very well... The only part missing is the high/low lever which is buried in a box in the workshop somewhere.. I will dig it out.. £350 ono Collection from Hawkhurst, Kent. PM me if your interested or have any questions
  4. Handy Landy is looking good mate, the tilting hood was a great idea
  5. No need to justify anything Iain, you built it to do a job which by the sounds of it, it does the log job very well It reminds me of an old shepherds hut.. Good for camping around the garden in during the summer when it's not full of logs

    Ransomes gt 700

    I've not seen one of those before, a nice find James What's your plan for it, adding any extra wheels to this one?
  7. A slightly late, Happy Birthday James. Hope you had a good day
  8. Wow.. I didn't realize there was so much engine under the bonnet!! That's quite a machine you have there Ian
  9. I'd like to get a snow blower for my Wheel Horse, but for the amount of time it would get used each year (if it snows) and the amount they cost over here, it just isn't worth it.. I have a snowplow should I need to shift any snow this year

    C-120 refurb.

    Sounds like your making great progress Norm, good to see you have the trans sorted now
  11. Thanks Ben. No twin wheels will be going on, but I will be widening a pair for those high speed runs
  12. It looks like they were having a fun time, I'd just have to be a bit more gentle with my machines while off roading..
  13. It's not a quad, it's something of Robo-war by the looks of it..
  14. This chap Dany has quite a history of building machines, and they all get used! Check out some of he's other vid's A Gravely 4WD with hint of Wheel Horse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYhj6vNyprA&list=UUUiAeRr8IEwJUGZuDchPyew
  15. I think it's a massive wood burner made from an oil drum, and the Kawasaki is just to confuse us
  16. Thanks mate though I'm not sure about a seasonal special, I'm even more "ba-humbug" than Nigel Duels anyone? Maybe not... A bit too much Progress has been made although it's hard to tell from the next photo.. The axle has been put back together, diff and half shafts installed.. The axle can now be unbolted from the chassis, and the axle mounting place on the chassis has had some reinforcing.. I really need to take some photos! One thing I always pride myself on is doing everything "In house" or even "In workshop", partly because it's nice to be able to say "I made that", and partly because I'd rather spend time making something than part with money So with that in mind yesterday I finally came up with an accurate and safe and strong way I could convert a Wh rear wheel with it's 5 bolt 4 1/2" PCD.. To fit the Reliant's 4 bolt 4" PCD I found this nice length of thick plate hiding on the bottom of a shelf in Nigel's "Handy scrap metal" store.. (Thanks Nigel ) which is enough to make 2 wheel centers from. Let the lathe work start The bad news is this steel is rather hard so it's going to take quite a while to turn each wheel center!

    Ducati

    Now that's certainly dribble worthy... A very nice bike indeed The yellow bike at the back I'm sure I've read about in a magazine a few years ago.. Is it a Yamaha twin "tracker style" machine with daytime MOT only?
  18. Happy birthday Max, hope your partying well
  19. Happy birthday Jimbo hope your having a good one
  20. How many offers did you get for it Andrew? They will all be wanting one now
  21. Why do you think I drink so much coffee
