yes second test run the deisel engine pulls like a train its very stable will make a good workhorse i had to make some modifacations after the first test because i had one foward gear and three reverse gears  

This is not mine! Just happened to see this pic and thought it was funny.
No disrespect towards the builder is intended, we all had to start somewhere.

that looks like a nice project there matt i have not seen one of them over here, it looks a very strong and well built machine i will look forward to see what you do with it over the next few months

he"s one of my triumph speed triple the bike is how i built it

heres a bolens 750 that i added a fork lift too i had to lengthen it to stop the front wheels coming of the ground it worked ok it would lift three adults without problems

When I got the trailer the spare wheel was held on with just one bolt, so I made up a wheel carrier out of some scrap metal, and used some locking wheel bolts that I had on a ford XR3i I once had, then I will bolt it down to the cross member and weld the nuts to the bolts..
 

 
 

I was just looking at the Environmental Agency's "flood risk" map and decided to have a close look at my area..
 
And was shocked to see these strange patterns in the field!
 

 
 
A close up!!
 

 
 
 
I wonder how they got there!!!!!!!       
 
 

my boy karl is chief engineer down these mines now i thought i would put these picts on of what it was like back in the early 1950-70s there is some intresting equipment take a look at some of the tractors converted so you sit low and dont bang your head,
 
 

yep they are still down there, they buried them and all the equipment that you see in the photos these photos are from the 1950s-1970ish

More progress over the weekend...
 
Multigardner 3 has been painted and fitted to the graveyard mower chassis, and a new addition is this mower... although badged as a Norlett it is identical to the Farmfitters Rapier mower that was also offered as an attachment for the Multigardner...
 
I have another use for the B&S engine thats on it so nothing is going to waste...
