Ian

Ian, PWN? is looking good. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Thanks Andrew, it was good to make a start on WN again today... 

hi ian

nice to see you have settled in and why not is looking very sexy indeed

ive got a few more bulbs kicking about somewhere for your sign i will dig them out and deliver them soon

we will catch up soon mate ta ta for now

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

Workshop looking good mate, will have to pop in and say hello somewhen...

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.

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 all starts now

It does indeed

I am surprised an angle grinder wasn't used to cut the ribbon!

I look forward to the restoration of your first Bolens Ian! You know it make sense!

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

  Let production commence.

Very much so Norm

Lord Mower Land does look the part. Is that the old fashion version of an electronic tag he is wearing around his neck

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

MOM answer to Mr T 

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

I like the Led Zeppelin neon light sign; a great find!

Thanks Andrew, it was a shack decorating pressie from Ben

Looks like you are getting very organised, with everything having it's place. A far cry from my workshop especially at the moment.

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.

Does not that apply to most workshops? T'Other Arf says you need danger money to go in mine.

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

Oh Ian, its soooo sad, where's my hanky

Aaww.. Don't cry Chris

Ian, I look forward to seeing your new videos from your new shack. BTW is the music Metallica?

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..

At least the shack has found a new lease of life Ian

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..

great video and so sad...

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

Sold in 20 min's!!!   Very nice

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
