    Bolens 800

    Congrats on finally getting your Bolens Andrew, she sure looks a nice clean machine
  4. A bit late catching up with this, great video Mark... Bendy looks to have plenty of traction and a rather strong drive train to get all four wheels spinning
  5. That looks like a well built bit of kit Andrew, I bet you can't wait to try it out
  6. Morning all, as you know yesterday was shack contents moving day, and what a long day it was!! I didn't take too many photo's as we were a bit busy, but here's a few.. My "extended bed" Saxon trailer with the first load.. The trailer being loaded up with a heavier load.. The shack looking a bit emptier.. The moving crew.. well, most of them.. Pete, Rob and Chris.. The other helper known as Mr Pickles did a runner as soon as the camera came out I will get some photo's of the empty shack, but here's a couple of the slightly full new workshop.. I've got a bit of sorting out to do me thinks So, a big THANK YOU to Chris, Pete, Rob and Mr Pickles for all your help yesterday, I couldn't of done it without your help
  7. Are you trying to say I make the better coffee? By the end of play today the shack is about 98% packed.. I just didn't have any energy left for the final 2%!! Anyway, have some photo's of the mess
  8. That looks fantastic Nigel, thanks mate No worries Craig, it would be a bit of a journey for you to get here Me too Thanks Richard, yes I am very lucky having a good friend/neighbour called Nigel.. I wouldn't be able to do this shack move without Nigel's fantastic help, so thanks mate, your a star The deal is Nigel has rented the new place and I'm renting half of it from Nigel. It says.. The Shack Revisited The bars on the windows I can cope with, not so sure on the seasonal lights though A couple of photo's from yesterday.. The big bench is down.. Which means Project "Why Not" is a roller

    John Deere 400

    That looks a fair bit of kit Chris, the cutting deck is a bit of a monster
  10. That's sounding good mate. I will be over about 10.30-ish this morning to give a hand
  11. Sounds like your in for a fun weekend George, yep please keep us updated with loads of pic's
  12. You keep doing this to us Andrew... We need photo's Seriously though a sickle mower is a very nice find, I bet you can't wait to try it out
  13. Nice work Angus, it reminds me of when I restored an old Webb many years ago
  14. Only the one photo today but the shack stripping is getting serious now.. Lathe dismantled and ready to be moved, and 2 benches dismantled one of which the compressor was hidden under.. I'd forgotten how big it is The shack has a viewing booked in for tomorrow afternoon, and just had a call from a chap who thought it was a small shed and wanted to take it to Orkney!!!
  15. Thanks James, it's looking like everything is coming together quite well Yes it could well in interesting to see what comes out of both workshops Well, a bit of a sad day in more ways than one... Down came all the decorations that shacks collect over the years.. It feels strange in there without this lot fixed on the walls.. They all hold good memories for me and will be going up in the new workshop along with some bigger stuff that I will once again have wall space for And of course.... More stuff boxed up ready to go, even more "shack boxes" stashed in the house! Even under the big bench has been mostly cleared out and boxed up! Now you may of noticed in the above photo's a big red something is missing.. Yes the 6x6 went off to it's new home today, here it is all loaded up with it's new owner Mark... I am of course very sad to see it go, but I am happy that it has gone to such a good home.. To say that Mark is over the moon about is an understatement to say the least.. Yes he has been told about MOM and RS and promises to keep me updated on how he is getting on with it
  16. A very nice machine Dave, have you any closer photo's of it?
  17. I'm sure your work out where the bit's go Chris
  18. By using the latest in hi-tech axle fixing materials.. Project Why Not is rolling once again... The narrowed trailer axle won't be staying but it is handy for getting some wheels under the back
  19. wow Nigel, your certainly getting shift in building this beast!! It's looking good mate
  20. Ouch!! Not a fun couple of days Norm.. at least you know what the problem in now..
  21. I will let you off, bit of a journey for you to get here Don't worry, I am watching what I'm up to shifting stuff about.. My back's not in the best of shapes as it is.. Thanks Chris, I will let you know asap what's going on.
  22. Hi Guy's, thanks for the offers of help to move the shack contents.. I get the key's to the new place on Monday and ideally need to get the contents moved asap next week.. So my question is.. When's good for you guy's?
  23. That's good news about the engine not being seized Paul, your soon have it up and running at the speed you work That is a rather funky shaped gas tank
  24. Think of it this way mate... It gives your more time to work on Bendy
