I think it's working Chris, after an hour the bare steel had certainly lost it's shine.. I left in the shack overnight as I didn't want any bunnies or any other creatures getting battery acid on themselves before it has dried out.. It can go outside today and stay there until I'm ready for it.

As some of you will know I had problems with my Wife's computer last week when the hard drive died. After lot's of faffing about I managed to get all the data off it (much to my Wife's happiness) which left the question of what to do with the dead hard drive....

Plenty of rust on it Mark.. But most of it came off easy with a wire brush And settled in a neat pile on the bench! I don't think I will be repairing this bit somehow, easy enough to fold a new one out of ally. The strip down continues... By the time The Showman walks in the poor Raider I bought from him had been stripped bare! Good to catch up with you again today Chris So there you go, stripped down to the naked chassis and much to my shock and surprise everything (bar one bit) came undone and came off!! The one part that is being a pain of all things is the gear knob!! It turns but won't unwind! While on the subject of things with gear knobs on, here's another trans that is refusing to give up it's grip on a slot hitch.. So far loads of heat and plenty of weight have failed to move it!! Did you want a trans with your hitch Norm? The only question now was which bit should I clean up first... Thinking quite far ahead here the last remaining paint was stripped from the top of the hood, but only the top.. The bare metal was then given a coating of battery acid to help start the rusting process.... Yes you did read that right, I want it to rust.... As to why, your have to wait and see Don't give the game away Chris

Ok Nigel, you have got me there... It is just possible some rust dust found it's way into my smoke, it's hard to see it when it's managed to get mixed into the baccy Being not alive Norm, though the action might be a bit slower

That's one of the many great things I love about MOM.. You never know what you will see when you sign in next That's a fantastic bit of kit, a very nice find

I think black works on a WH... As long as some flames are painted on as well

I guess you could say a start has been made on Project Zero-ish Turn, as she now looks like this You can see how she got to this stripped down state in the link below http://myoldmachine.com/topic/820-live-from-the-shack-project-zero-ish-turn-strip-down/ The next update will be a more normal one with lot's of photo's

A slightly late Happy birthday Titch, hope your keeping well.. You must have your new workshop almost finished by now

Thanks chaps, happy you enjoyed the live show It's quite interesting being live.. In my normal video's I have to think of what I'm going to say about what I'm doing.. You don't get the time to think about that being live, so I just sit back and see what comes out of my mouth

Your doing the right thing by getting the original motor fixed, it would be a shame to have to cut the deck up to fit a different motor. Nice polishing by the way

That sounds like a mad build Ben......... I like your thinking

Good work Paul

Cool, sounds like a video in the making... Extreme Lawn Edging

An interesting find Nigel, I've never seen a mower with a wind up starter! Yes Ben, Nigel does have some interesting machines about the place

Oops, sorry Ben.. I guess 2 coffee's wasn't enough to wake my brain up this morning! Thanks for the edit Nigel

A nice find Paul, have you tried it out yet? The lawn edger not the sack

Very nice Chris

Your a very clever fabricator James, love your work

That's a nice collection you have ben.. Good to see another local member on MOM, I'm just over the border in Hawkhurst Kent.... A good friend of mine Garry who has been in quite a few of my vids lives just down the road from you in Nude Romney as he likes to call it

All you have done James is make me want a sickle mower even more Cheers for posting the vids

That could be an interesting project James, not quite sure how it could be built, it needs some thinking on..

Looks like it was a great day, something for everyone. Ta for posting the pic's mate

"Time is an illusion.. Lunch time doubly so". No points or prizes but can anyone tell me where that quote is from? Almost ready to start on it Koen, I've come so close to getting the shack tidy it would be a shame not to finish it.. Patience Glass hopper Thanks James.. So what's this idea for a future project?

Thanks mate, good to know people take notice of my videos A good bunch of chaps over on RS Thanks Ranger, it's cool to know I'm getting the message across in my videos Very well said Neil A big Thank You to both Karl and you for getting the MOM ball rolling, MOM is a great place to be
