  1. Having had a play on Nigel's mig welder the other day, all I can say is...... I need to get a good mig welder and stop using the gassless wire! At long last some progress has been made on the 6x6.. The inner axle mount was boxed in and fully welded up yesterday.. Middle wheel and outrigger bolted back on. The troublesome sprocket that kept sheering off the axle was given a good talking to by the arc welder on full blast.. It should be strong enough now but I will run some extra beads on today just to make sure.. I won't have much time today to get much more done (Garry's trike rewire take 2), but if I can find where I hid my key steel away I hope to get the chains and other sprockets installed..
  2. A 16 Liter V8 eh.. Now there's a thought No harvesting happening here yet, but I did spot a Claas combine driving past Nigel's workshop the other day..
  3. I've no idea Sten I'm afraid, but it does look a sturdy machine.. I'm sure one the guys who has more knowledge than me on these machines will know what it is..
  4. Thanks guys, I wish I had an update for you but I don't as the search is on yet again for another rear axle..! But I have thought of a use for the quad axle though.. well bit's of it.. If I chop the ends off including driveshafts, fit an extra bearing in the end and weld on a strong bit of bar... It's a good start at front wheel hubs with brakes.... It's just a thought..
  5. On display and proud of it Nice one Charlie
  6. Nice work Charlie, it looks the part.. As Nigel mentioned you might want to add some weight to it to help it dig in
  7. One Wh is never enough, glad the urge to get another one got the better of you Daniel The 312 is a great work horse and will serve you well

    Cub Cadet 128

    That looks a very clean machine Paul, nice find As much a Wheel Horse freak as I am, I wouldn't mind one of those in my fleet
  9. The dozer blade is looking good Chris, the small "legs" to hold the blade up are a nice touch
  10. That's just the sort of thing I need, a 12 volt hedge cutter.. Plug it into a Wh, cut the hedge and let all the trimmings fall in a trailer behind
  11. The dumper looks a very handy bit of kit to have.. Me likes
  12. How big and heavy is it Ben? If the seller is willing to wrap it a bit it can be quite cheap to get stuff shipped about the country as I found out with the quad axle
  13. I'm all up helping out for a very good cause, count me in We look forward to meeting you Andrew, it's going to be a great show.
  14. Congrats James hope you both had a great day
  15. More than 65 entries!! Wow it's going to be a great show.. Nice going kev

    Arun table saw

    That's a very stylish way of cutting log Neil, it would be good to see a video of the bench in action. It looks very well made.
  17. Thanks Guy's, thought you might like it It's won't Norm, just the wheel type cutters. Thanks Koen, it's very close to a Flexispeed mill in looks, but I don't think it is one.. I did think of PTO power for it Neil, not idea in a workshop but could make an interesting show display Thanks for the lathes link Richard, that will keep me busy for a few hours looking through You don't fancy swapping it for your vertical mill do you ? Thought not Yes I will be putting a new belt on it before it's fired up, I need to rewire the motor for peace of mind as well, the cable does look very old! Hi Ben, the fun part is it weighs so much!! Getting it up to bench level is going to be interesting!
  18. The lip seals could be handy when I'm hammering it sideways across a muddy field Spot on Koen Nothing new to report on "Why Not", so have a little video to pass the time
  19. Great photo's there guy's The stones on the beach photo is very cool Mark, I like the way the focus is only on a small strip of stones in the middle.. That's quite hard to do.. Well, I find it is
  20. Knowing your attention to detail Richard, this will end up as another top quality build That's a funky spark plug, like you I've never seen one like that before!
  21. Ouch! That's quite a painful engine failure Mark!
