Scratching my arse for some thing to do up the workshop so I will have to start a project out of bits I’ve got laying around, I haven’t a clue what it’s going to be, but these parts will make a start
 

Looking realy good chris

Have you tried Harry he might have some bits

Nice job, was it 2 pack

Yep I think this year could finish a few off especially where they have spent a lot of money up front

I’ve got a horrible feeling a lot of shows are going to be cancelled this year what’s your thoughts

They fetch food money, the last one I was bidding on went for £1700 

unless you have a secret supply then we have to pay these prices...

Yep I understand that, but I think he said it had an old Honda engine in, and I thought I would have a lot of trouble finding the right engine for it, but as it happens the showmans got one for sale, I will look forward to the restoration of this one because ime sure you will do it to your normal very high standards and it will end up better than new.👍🏻

After 10 years of exclusive WH ownership, I’ve turned to the dark side.

 

picked this up from the Essex coast the other night after a mammoth 11 hour round trip.

 

 

it’s in average condition, not much rust. But has the scars of an engine transplant. It’s a tidy job, but they’ve chopped the hood and chassis...

looking for a few bits:

kohler k241 engine

dunlop implement tyre 6-12
 

I nearly bought that mark, but I thought he was asking very strong money for it, nice project though 👍🏻

 

 

Well decks on, all little bits done and took it for its first drive then stuck it in the stable

Superb job on that Nigel . Even more of an acheivement when it looks like it still has a V70 Techy with a series 1 Lauson carb!  and you get it running sweetly.  

Are the secret of getting that engine running again was Angus ( wristpin )  he’s a genius with these, and he knows where to source parts for them. I would have got the hump with it and stuffed a Briggs in, 😂

Well it’s off the bench a few more bits to do but it’s getting there

Just need the boat now then Paul 😂nice find

I think you may need to drill a small drain hole as the filter looks like its facing up and might catch water off the bonnet

I won’t be taking it out in the wet chris 😂 suggestion noted, will have a look tomorrow 

Cock up sorted 

I don’t think these will be any good they are heavy cast alloy but solid tyres and 12” from outside of tyre

Just let me know if they will do

They would give you plenty of traction though

Can you grind the weld off the pedal bracket and move the pedal out an inch. ?

 

 

No I’ve found out on the Jd 70 it has a bend from the carb to the air filter which would raise it above the pedal and then the filter sticks out at An angle, so I will be cutting a lawn mower handle up tomorrow and will make a couple of flanges up

I might have some I will have a look tomorrow 

Just come across the first major cockup can you see it

Nice job there chris ,big tin of pug now 😂
