Ian

A beautiful machine, keep the pic's coming please

Screen wash won't freeze and it's far less harmful to the environment than anti-freeze should it leak out

Looking good, not much WH left now Thanks Iain, there's even less Wh left now! Yesterday was the day the last bit of the original Wh chassis was removed.. The new chassis certainly looks cleaner without the old rails inside The front end is starting to take shape. The big box across the front will become the new front axle after it has had a change of shape, some strengthening and something added to give it a real Hot rod look Oh... And I found a spare plug yesterday

What;s the latest news on the yellow peril Richard? Have you managed to try her out yet?

You could always fit inner tubes and fill them with a water/screen wash mix.. I did that when I had big rear tyres fitted to my WH 312-8.. The traction was amazing and the slight sloshing sound was relaxing

That engine looks nasty Chris, I'd be tempted to try drilling and tapping a hole in the end of the crank rather than pulling a couple of engines apart to swap parts..

Ooo yes, I like the look of wide rubber... Very nice Chris.. If you ballast the tyres it will become unstoppable

Thanks Mark, it will look even better soon I'm not sure what's going on but I did update this thread about 20 mins ago but it's vanished!! Best try again.. Well today I finally started working on Why Not again which felt rather nice after weeks of bench building and getting the new house sorted out.. This is what she looked like when I arrived in the workshop this morning.. It didn't take long to get her stripped down to an almost naked chassis.. The front axle soon came off followed by the front of the chassis!!! So why did I cut the front of the chassis off? Well, after much thought I have decided to remove what was left of the original chassis, the main reason being strength which is a nice thing to have plenty of with all the hp the engine produces.. It also looks quite out of place with the rest of the box chassis rails. But before I can remove all the original chassis, I need to add some new chassis rails each side.. A bit hard to see from the photo's but the new rails gradually tuck in under the engine and straighten up at the front again for the new front axle I'm going to make.. Not a huge amount of progress, but it's a start

Thanks Andrew, it was good to make a start on WN again today... Evening Ben, yep getting settled in the new workshop now. Thanks for the spare sign bulbs, it will be good to see you and catch up again Thanks Paul, yep your more than welcome to pop in for a visit.. I think I have some tea bags somewhere

Hi folk's yep it's Garry's Honda CX trike that's up for sale. A spares or repairs project.. MOT til Feb (Garry thinks).. The trike is based on a 1981 Cx500, no idea what the rear axle is from. It needs work on the electrics and rear brakes but is ride able. As all the photo's I have of it are posted up here already, here's the link to the post. http://myoldmachine.com/topic/847-honda-cx500-trike/ Garry is asking £500 PM me if your interested and I will pass you Garry's details.

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
