Another one!! So, how many walk behind mowers do you have Ben? All of them I'm starting to think

A nice machine Ben and certainly something different

Very good

Your new "C" looks a good solid machine James. I love the "C" deep dish front wheels

For those at the show who want MOM stickers, come and speak to me. Mark has sent me down a load for those that want/have asked about them

Thanks Guy's What I didn't mention last night is the er... Slight change in how the 6x6 steers as you will see

Which beast Koen? I sometimes call the 6x6 that but it's more of a "just in passing" name than a nick name.. Or are you talking about this beast?

My first two "ride on's" were both Westwoods... Quite strongly built machines but it's a shame they skimped on the glue that holds the paint on

The only one in my herd that has a nick name really is "Why Not"

Well, yet another day in the shack trying to get the 6x6 driving again, and what do I have to show for it!!! Only a few photo's that were grabbed from some video footage Going in!!! In! Coming back out after remembering 1 second too late that there was a tree on it's side in the nettles! The Raider looks like it's angry with me! At least it wasn't only me that crashed the poor Raider And to finish off..... Going up

It looks just fine to me Chris, I like your "dare to be different" attitude by getting a red gazebo

I know what to say when my Wife asks what I want as a present for "Silly season" (it's way too early to use the C word yet)

Fantastic little mowers chap's, I didn't know they were made that small! That advert made me laugh so much Paul "Ideal for christmas".. Do they come with a little snowplow to put on the front?

Good to see this build is almost started James, I will be following with interest

No photo's for this small update, it was a frustrating day yesterday!! After all the chopping about of the outrigger again, the chain that had been a pain was sorted and fitted well.. Shame the last chain to go on is giving the same problems!! Yes, that's right... It's too long or too short!! I'm going to try swapping the chains about today as I think one is slightly shorter than the other and see if that helps.. I'm also wondering how much the chains have stretched during their short but very hard life on the 6x6, so some new chain has been ordered it should be here Wednesday.. Oh.. I also had to drop the 6x6 down on her wheels yesterday so I could roll her back a bit and get some working space at the front.. The weight balance is interesting.. I'd say that 52% of it is in front of the middle axles, with the 3 point put back on it might even have 50-50 balance!! Until I sit my fat 'orse on the seat of course, then the front goes up

Good photo's Norm.. You friend is making a better "first time" ploughing job than I did on my first (and only so far) time..

Very funny Neil, thanks for posting it mate

Looking good Paul, do the "go faster stripes" on the tyres make it steer faster ?

Very nice I need a sickle mower in my life even though I have no need for one It looks like it was an easy fit on the Norlett ?

Maybe I shouldn't use the chisels for stirring coffee It is indeed mate, and a very good job we made of it too

Not long now The 6x6 WILL be ready for the show

Good to see you played it safe Chris.. and didn't park it on the patio That's a tidy looking WH

Welcome to MOM Ray, good luck with your search, sickle mowers are very few and far between.. Be sure to let us know how the search is going.. Which model Wh do you plan the sickle mower on? Edit - Just seen the thread title.. A C-160

Get this update done take 2.. I did try this morning but ended up only typing one line in an hour odd due to slight distractions in the shout box I'm in danger of getting distracted again, it's only been 13 min's since I typed the above line, so I'd better get on with it!! First of all a big THANK YOU to Doug (Ranger) for sending me a pair of late Mini (a Mini as in the proper car not the German thing!) 12 inch wheels which bolt straight onto the Reliant axle.. Thanks Doug, your a gent And second of all, another big THANK YOU to Bryan the mad Reliant man for the prop shaft.. I know it's unlikely your be reading this, but thanks anyway By the way, if you ever want any expert advice on how to wrap stuff for shipping, Doug's the bloke to speak to Anyway, have a photo of the wheels and prop shaft. The wheels will need a bit of banding (widening) to get normal size WH rear tyres on, it would be something I would normally do myself but do to the er... interesting speeds "Why Not" could reach I'm going to take them to an engineering company to get widened instead.. Best play it safe on this me thinks Out of interest I slipped an over wide tyre on the rim.. Just to see how it looked. The prop shaft was up for the chop next, after some careful measuring the end of the prop was cut off which was all i needed. Splicing the Honda and Reliant props together should be quite simple, I will just make a collar that fit's both sizes and weld it all together. Before I started thinking about narrowing the axle I thought it would be wise to balance a few bit's together to see how it looked with the fill width axle.. Eeekkk! With the main body tub cut to fit over the diff, "Why Not" didn't look to bad from the front.. But from the back!!!!! Yes, I think the axle does need to be narrowed Hurrah!! I managed to get all this update done

Thanks Mark, hopefully all should end up well this time
