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

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
