If the main mixture screw is broken then that's where I would start with your running problem Norm.. The question is has it been broken by getting knocked or has it seized and someone has snapped it while trying to get it out!! I don't know if your 8hp engine uses the same mixture screw as a 10hp, if it does I'm sure I've got a spare your welcome to.

HI James, I'm using this stuff.. Not even going to try and pronounce the name Garry bought it years ago for topping up bike battery's and it's been sitting on a shelf in the shack ever since! After yesterdays mouse hunting I was greeted by the build bench looking like this when I went to the shack this morning! A little while later the bench was a lot tidier and I could actually see what I was going to work on Well, not all the parts as some are stashed under the bench. As I was stripping the last remaining parts off the hood stand I noticed more rust that needs a bit of work.. The hood stand is now stewing in the E tank. I did make a start on cleaning up the chassis, but I didn't get that much cleaned up as the shack was filling up with rust dust and it was raining so I couldn't do this part outside! A much dryer and warmer day is forecast for tomorrow, so fingers crossed for some rust stripping action in the sun And for your viewing delight, here's part 1 of Project Zero-ish turn.

Plenty of time for the weekend forecast to change yet

You managed to talk Nigel out of his Merlin!!! You must of talked a lot Ben Next time your over Hawkhurst way your more than welcome to drop in.

Some nice fabrication work going on there James, looking forward to the digging the dirt video from Newby

I did Mark, thought it was the safe thing to do

I did, but it turned into a bit of a strange day

That's a nice collection Paul. It looks like your holding a show in your garden

Accidental damage is all part of the game unfortunately Norm, I managed to drop a starter motor on the hood of my 6x6!!

As always your attention to detail amazes me Richard :bow:

The plan for today was to get as much of the paint and rust stripped off of Project ZIT, but instead I spent most of the day mouse hunting, trying to keep very young (just worked out how to fly sort of young) black caps out of the shack, and chopping a phone in half! So have a photo of the side of the hood starting to rust.. The acid did the trick However plans for the finish have changed a little today including some buying of paint.. So watch this space

Have you got space for a hitch with trans still attached for delivery to Newby?

A new one on me too... Good to see something different. Thanks for posting it Chris

Blame this on Koen

She's looking good Norm, the finish must be in sight.. and then onto the next project

Congrats Paul, long may the rabbiting on continue

It looks great with some bodywork on Mark, good vid as well

I remember that from Ardingly a couple of years ago.. Fun machine

It looks nice but I'm not sure my spine could cope with driving it.. Must bump about a fair bit with no tyres!

A nice selection of machines.. what's going on with the Wheel Horse in the 3rd and 4th photos? It says C-165 on the hood but looks a bit strange.. Has someone put a C-165 hood on another make? Pressed steel chassis as well.

Like it indeed I do. Bar the electrical problem it looks ready for a good days work

WoW, that's a rather nice collection.. Not something you see every day or at all.. More than worthy of being classed as an old machine.. Thanks for posting

Just a little idea I'm working on Mark

A fantastic job Darren

No tractor porn on my Wife's hard drive, and the other one was so old I have no pc that I can plug it into.... IDE cables feel like such a long time ago! Not got a blender, but I wonder if I should do a video series on crushing things in the press... People will watch anything on YouTube
