Ian

Bendy is looking good Mark, I like the light positioning

That should keep you busy for a while James

It does indeed Hi Andrew, we did think about using the grinder but as the door was closed making it hard to get a power cable out there.. I'm not sure which is the worse word.. Restoration or Bolens Very much so Norm Hi Iain, it was not so much an electronic tag, more of a Kubota wing indicator... Handy if we loose the Lord in the dark you see Very good Chris For your viewing pleasure here;s the first video from the new workshop.

I tend to use the "roll up some paper, stick it in the tank, light it, and run" technique

Hi Dave, welcome to MOM... I can't help you with your problem I'm afraid but I expect some of the guy's who knows more about AC120's than me will be a long to help.

That looks a great place to visit, I will have to find the time to drop in next time I'm down that way.. Thanks for posting the pic's Charlie

Nice tyres Chris, traction shouldn't be a problem with those fitted

The new curved look to the bonnet really suits it.. It's one of those machines that always provokes a grin when you see it

Thanks Andrew, it was a shack decorating pressie from Ben Hi Iain, yep getting organized now though I've not found enough space for everything to have a home yet.. Some stuff may have to stay boxed up for a little while longer. I'm going to try and keep the new place tidy.. It's so nice to be able to get around the big bench without having to move or climb over stuff as it was in the old shack.. Well chaps, a couple of big milestones were passed today.. The first being I finally wired in my little radio to some big speakers via and old stereo thingy so now I no longer have to listen to tinny sounding rock music from the DAB radios little speaker and I now have the sound power to drown out Nigel's singing The second milestone we shall get to in a bit.. The workshop is now about 85% done.. Ok, I still need to bolt the lathe motor and pulley down.. An organized bench.. Quite possibly the tidiest and cleanest this big bench will ever look.. It's nice to have the bench space to bolt my sheet metal folder on to And as the big project bench was looking tidy I thought I'd take a few photo's of it as well And the second big milestone?? Well with the workshop being 85% done it means it's done enough to be operational.. (The remaining 15% will be done as it's needed).. So the only thing to do was to have an opening ceremony, for which the local royalty was called in to do the honors... It gives me great pleasure to introduce the Mayor of Mower Land "I pronounce this workshop open"!!

That's a nice find Chris, I'm with Nigel on this one.. Build a forklift out of it

Never a dull moment eh? Seriously though, glad you all made it out uninjured from what could of been a nasty situation

Hi Ian, welcome to MOM, it's good to have you aboard... That's quite a machine you have there, PTO, independent rear brakes and power steering by the looks of your photo's If your handy with fabrication anything can be fitted.. A front loader and back hoe are on my "must build one day" list, but I did make a 3 point for my Wheel Horse GT-14+2 it might give you a few ideas http://myoldmachine.com/topic/433-wheel-horse-gt-142/?hl=%2Bthree+%2Bpoint+%2Blinkage#entry4843

Hi Stepside, welcome to MOM it's good to have you aboard.. I'd guess the input pulley is missing it's key, they do have a habit of popping out the shaft when the pulley get slid on as I found out on my Wh 312-8 this year Have you checked out our sister forum RedSquare? http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/index.php A good bunch of guys and girls and enough Wh's to drown in

Happy birthday Doug, here's wishing you a good one

Thanks Tom, your being a great help No we have not checked the pressure relief valve yet, it's on the list to check now.. The arms stay solid no mater what position the lever is in..

Hi Tom.. Where would we find the hydraulic oil filter screen? and how would we check if the pump is working? Yes both Nigel and I are a bit new to this kubota lark

Now that looks like a very handy machine to have, it looks the part as well

Hi Tom, yes it is fully screwed out..

Very nice Nathan

Aaww.. Don't cry Chris Hi Andrew, I have started recording life at the new shack, maybe a video about it at the end of the week.. Nope the music is not Metallica, it's called "Slow night at the saloon" found here.. http://teknoaxe.com/Home.php Yeah it is a bit sad Mark, but long term more than worth it.. Very true Paul, better than it being scrapped... The buyer is going to send me some photo's when he get's it put back together, though something tells me it won't be going up in quite the same way it came apart.. Thanks Iain More progress today in the workshop.. Some tools and decoration up.. The shelves will be moved to somewhere a little easier to reach, low bench for the blasting cabinet which put's it at a nice height to use, and some more decoration up.. Lot's more shelves filled up with random stuff and Wheel Horse parts.. And finally some more decoration.. It just needs a plug putting on to make it light up... A big thank you to Ben for this.. Cheers mate

Sorry to read that you traveled all that way for nowt Charlie... You did do the right thing by walking away... I'm sure a much better example will turn up for you

That's very cool Max, I can't wait to see what you come up with for the rest of the bodywork

I have to say that this is a very nice machine.. If a little ugly at the front.. The engine sounds good, with no exhaust it sounds great If anyone has any ideas on the 3 point hydraulics it would be good to hear.. As Nigel mentioned above the lifting arm are stuck in the up position. You can move them a very little up and down but you can hear a "metal clonking" sort of sound.. A stuck valve somewhere perhaps?

Thanks Iain, yes it's certainly been an interesting story.. and a very busy story!! Too right Nigel and I will be having lot's of fun.. we have been already A bit of a sad video for you guy's and girls..
