Ian

Morning chap's cheers for all the great comments, much appreciated Here's the 3rd vid for you all, In the arena day 2 Thank you Madeline (Ben's other half) for the camera work.

Knowing I wouldn't have much shack time today I made a start on tidying the place up as it's so messy there is no space to work or even get around the big bench!! I was amazed to find all these tools.... Hiding on this little bench!!

I thought the colour of the Ribena mobile would raise a few eyebrows It's not that bad Norm.. You know me Paul, why play by the rules and be a sheep.. Baaa Purple is not for everyone, but my wife rather likes it so I'm happy.. Yellow cars are cool, we had for a short while a bright yellow Seat er.. Can't remember the model.. Called it the flying banana Very good Andrew, that made me laugh You could have the Freelander resprayed in purple as a birthday pressie for Madeline Well, we picked up the Ribena mobile this afternoon, and it's quite a good machine other than the radio refusing to work and then suddenly picking up a French radio station!! I'm just happy my wife has a reliable car to drive through winter now

Wow, it's been a long time since I saw one of those.. It wasn't in person I should add... I've always wondered how well they work!

A lucky escape for both you and your Bolans Iain! Glad you both made it unscathed.

Thanks chaps, glad you like the video You did a top notch job with the commentary Steve and I can understand being nervous, I was when you handed me the mic For your enjoyment an viewing pleasure have the second video.. Fun in the working area on day 1

Have you ever noticed how most cars on the road are the same boring colours? My wife and I went for a drive last Sunday and kept an eye on car colours.... silver, silver, black, dark silver, white, blue, silver, silver, black, black, red, white, silver, silver.. You get the idea!! Our little drive was to a car dealers which reinforced our boring car colour theory when confronted by this line up!! So why did we drive to a car dealers full of boring coloured cars?? Some of you will know what's coming next The car we had come to see (and will collect tomorrow) is a bit more interesting colour wise.. Introducing the Ribena mobile

Hi Guy's, sorry I've been a bit slow getting the Tractorfest videos sorted.. But a start has been made.. So I don't upset my ISP by using too much bandwidth I can only upload 1 video a day.. So here's the first, Day one in the arena.. Thank you to Ben for the camera duties

I like your plan Norm, your soon have it sorted now the sweeper is apart

How's this Iain. It came from my first Wh a 74 Raider 10.. I did the jump lead test today and it spins up fine.

Nos is an interesting idea, it still needs a little turbo

Great photo's Max, thanks for posting them I really need to get to a show and see your miniature machines next season.. Photo 5 caught my eye as well.. A nice looking machine indeed

Great photo's chaps, it looked like a good weekend The good workout Noddy is getting looks to of almost cleaned the engine right out.. Only a little smoke in the photo's.. Good to see Dennis enjoying himself.

Very nice Paul, you can't help but think how much colour a new Cubby would of brought to what was otherwise a very black and white life .... Well, it makes sense to me

Can't wait to see the video of it in action Ben Any guess on it's top speed?

Very nice Norm, but a little out of my budget..

No wonder your shoulders hurt Paul, that's a lot of long grass to cut... But a job well done

Hi Iain, if the 16hp K series starter is the same as other smaller K series starters then I think I may have a spare starter.. I will have a look when I'm feeling well enough to head out to the shack.

I first heard about this project quite a while ago, it's great to see some photo's of it A 3 point and PTO will make it a a really handy usable machine.. 10 out of 10 for "out the box" thinking

Happy birthday Frank, hope you have a good day planned

Fantastic work as always Richard, I almost need a pair of shades to handle the bright glare from the engine So tell us then, what's the secret to getting parts so shiny?

It looks (and sounds) like you made a very good purchase James, I bet you have a big grin on your face the first time you use her to cut grass

Thanks for the photo's, I see the axle was only narrowed one side so I'm guessing the trike was a 2 seater? Yep the way your old man shortened the axle makes perfect sense I can't do my axles that way as my lathe is too small to fit the shafts in safely, but the axles will be welded back together and then sleeved for extra strength.

I like your thinking mate, and the Jimshot is small enough to fit in front of a green screen sheet... HHmmmmm
