Read Mickwhitts topic on Red Square as I've suggested. He'll answer any questions you ask.
 

Ok I'll have a read thankyou 

Thanks, display always changing a bit, it depends what turns up !
 

Serviced a neighbours walk behind mower today. Got three logs in return.
 

While looking around for things to do, I spied a little toolbox on a workshop shelf. Now all three Wheel Horses have toolboxes fitted to their fenders, but not the Sears/Roper. I've been reluctant to drill holes in it's fenders.
  Looking at the back end, I noticed a couple of bolts securing the seat mount sticking out with some thread showing. Just enough to fasten something on.
  So yesterday the toolbox got a rub down and a coat of primer. Followed by a couple of top coats of mat black. I've no gloss.
 

 

 
  This morning I fitted it.
 

 

 
  Nice fit methinks.

Part of the fun of collecting the crawlers was meeting new people with shared enthusiasm for these machines. Strangely, going through all my glory holes and pulling out all the machines and spares I have and then dealing with new enthusiasts looking for  parts has been equal fun it is good to know that as a result of my bits many other machines will be up and running.It has also been really pleasing to see that many of the enthusiasts are youngsters late teens and early twenties as well as the older group. I still have piles of stuff to go through so if anyone is needing a particular part I am happy to have a look and see if I have one.

Hi Doug nice engineering there 👍🏻

It’s not realy rare , if you type in Nickerson or Norwalk in the question box in top right hand corner of the home page ime sure you will find a few posts on these

Well theRe wasnt room to get the calliper on the rear axle so change of plan and stuck it on the lay shaft but that is going to be spinning fast so I thought I better put a guard on it ,I now have brakes
 
 

First elements came back from the paint shop. I'm waiting for the rest and start folding.
 

For a change from painting everything that doesn't move during this lock down, I have had a dabble a some woodwork.
 
First to receive my ministrations, was the arch leading down to my woodyard and the pond.
The top was in a rather bad way. Not surprising really after something over ten years at least. So some scrap boards provided the sides. Some more boards, put through the saw bench, provided the slats.
 
  Next on the list was the leant I keep my Saxon trailer, Roller and lawn sweeper under.
 So off with the rotten ply roof.

 
  Couple of sheets of Stirling board. Screwed down, not nailed.

 
    Yesterday I laid the felt.

 
 Finished that by lunch time. So started on the next job. New lids for the coal bunker. Two 14ft T&G planks, obtained along with the Stirling board got cut to length. Talk about good planning. I only had 4" of scrap of each board.  Got those finished today and felted.

 
  Tomorrow I'll get the hinges and some screws. Also I need to find a couple of boards to cover the gaps either side. Stock of planks and boards is well depleted.

It is with great regret to inform everyone that we've had to cancel this years show we have to think of the safety of our exhibitors and visitors to the show.

Yes thanks I have made contact with him, Be loverly if he had some front rims I am looking out for some wheels to work with

Happy birthday Karl 🎂

I had a feeling you'd bought them, Harry. Look after them.
 
Pity I couldn't get up to help and see you again.

Hi Guys 
 
Thanks for that I've checked the website out and found just what I'm looking for. Great stuff.

Hello Tom
 
Try All Terrain Tyres
 
www.allterraintyres.co.uk
 

Going by the weights given in the manual, the engine (3¾lb) & two alternators (6½lb each) would cost somewhere around $120 to ship over, how close am I? It's difficult to estimate the packaging weight.
 
What is the little propeller from, in the fourth picture from the first post?
 
David

Not far off, $131
 
Little prop came with the goodies from Wallfish, need to have a good look to see if it fits an engine
 
 

Nearly right then.
 
Maybe it would go with your water-cooled O&R engine, just need the rest of the boat to go with it.
