It will be even bigger when I get the mower deck on
 
I did once own a D200 which I should have kept
 
Another pic to show its size. Yes I should have me more happier  Just like Nigel!! 

came across this today, anyone know about these?
 

Done !!!

was just thinking of carp on bbq for the saturday for supper

it was quite good to see the site again today, can now start to picture what room we have and where things are likely to go

hope the puddle drys up before the show Kev. 

Thought I would have a problem! It kept hunting today & did not want to respond well to ajustments
 
So I took the jets etc out of the old carb body as they had done less work, cleaned them up & fitted them. Got more responce now.
 
We will see how it runs when its under load with the deck, which is the next to sort

moved the holder a mile down the road today to my shed at home its a bit scary flat out so i let my boy drive it
 

Teak oil on the handle yesterday, brought it up a treat...

Had run over to an old friend who is a bit of a Ransom addict. Well more than a bit. 11 at the last count and a goodly collection of various implements. Unfortunately they were all tucked away. But a few photo's for you.

lol no neil, my neibour has a telehandler forklift. hes one of these blokes that if you need a machine for something then he is very likely to have it

you never know paul there may be a bit of trojan blue underneath all that green

I thought it was only Trojans that flew like that !!!  

That looks like alot of fun Nigel! Looks like your son was way out in front.

Hello all. I haven't been around for awhile now, because I had to go out of town for a week, and then it took me over a week to get caught back up with work. Everything is now back to normal, and I was able to get back to work on my 444. I got the new travel control with built in holding valve installed. ( see pics in my previous post). I also installed a FCV (flow control valve) on it. I had to make a couple brackets to keep the hoses from rubbing on things, and a heat shield for the exhaust, to protect the bypass hose from the heat, but overall it was a very straight forward installation. I had to cut a section of the footrest out for hose clearance too.
 I can't believe what a difference these modifications made to my 444. I can now set a good, slow, powerful ground speed when tilling, which makes it so much more enjoyable.   I've already had it tilling, and it works great!  I'll try, and get another video up soon. Thanks

I have won a BSA powered Conyers set from that well known auction website yesterday evening, photos on here when it arrives...

cant wait to see that next to my holder mark, top job

Well finished the wiring tonight & it now cranks over on the key
 
Also got sparks at the plugs you can weld with
 
Made up the new exhaust at work also
 
If all goes to plan, then I hope to have it running at the weekend. Cant wait

It can't be running its got all four wheels on the deck !!  

Are you still running it on red-bull Nigel ?

Had this Raider 10 for a while, last time it ran was at Ardingly last year, its been grazing on the patio uncovered ever since.
I put some new points in it and then had to renew the petrol pipe, charged up the battery and she jumped into life, had a drive round the garden chased by Lily for a hour. Had some new decals in stock (not the right one's) but tarted it up, a quick spray with red diesel and a few photos to put it on e##y

Planet Junior edger getting a tidy up for its first event...
 
 

Very very nice !!

Got the very heavy engine back in today. My poor back!!!
 
With the parts I have robbed off my spare engines, I hope this should be a good unit. At least with a good cowl on the front, it will now keep cool as thold one had rotted out with the mouse nest!

At last my hydraulics are working ,not straight forward as I would have liked,it pays to have a diagram but good experience .This is it on trial at the caravan park in Tayport

thought i would put a vidio up of my quadractor from 2013https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=sXcdIxcS6kM
 

what i did"nt tell him was that i had pumped the holder tyres up to 75lb anyway it made i laugh
