the showman

Ha,ha found the photos, will load them up saturday evening

you've got to be up early to grab a pretty one

i'll have a look tomorrow for the memory card there on. keep guessing !

what colour is the wig nigel. ?

iam just going to bolt it together for now, I don't want to get into restoring it.

Had a phone call from a local guy with a Wheelhorse all in bits. he said that he had stripped it to restore, but hasn't had time. you know what its like when you go to look!!!. should have gone in the car. it looks like a mid 70s raider 10. all I gotta do is get it in the shed without Pam seeing it.

This project was something I had in my head for a while. Being a lover of Wheelhorse's and tracked vehicles having driven diggers and alike for years, I looked at a few MG's but didn't like the metal tracks One day a friend gave me a Wheelhorse A 90, it came from a school and had a seized engine and had been partly dismantled to stop the children playing with it, this started me thinking, all I had to do was find something on rubber tracks, narrow enough to go through a garden gate and have forward and reverse gears rather than hydromatic.

I will do a detailed build and photos when I get to find the photos, thanks for your interest

just forgot to say thanks to my son Steve for the paintwork and to Machinery decals for the decals

here's the last of the photos

here's some red bits

sorry paul but iam unable to come as iam going to a bring and buy sale, its a good chance to get rid of some stuff ive got hanging around

yes Neil, I had a long chat with him on the Saturday afternoon, (what a lovely man) then he signed the hood of my 400 before I shipped it back to England. i'am guessing that I have the only Wheelhorse in the UK with it.that photo was taken on the Friday,you should of seen the queue.

here's some primered parts and wheels

is the ladder so you can get on it with your little legs nigel

good result paul, well done

I'am liking that, not that I would sell it, I was lucky with the second book as I bought it at the show and got it signed by Michael and Mr Cecil Pond

anyone into Wheelhorse's should have these, full of info and pictures.

yeh that's right nigel, I like to blend in. its called street cred

yeh , chase her up mark. always good to see English stuff in American magazines

I met Kate at the Wheelhorse show in 08 and had lunch with her and Charlotte (Brandon's wife) the mag was then called Lawn and Garden Collector Magazine. In March/April 09 I was lucky enough to be Featured Collector and have 3 pages of photos and words

The next job is to break it down for shot blasting and paintwork. thanks mark can't be leave it was 2011 when I built it, where's the time gone ?

And it works. its a bit strange to drive with zero turn and I have to say that I did clip the wall on one of the turns, but good fun !

Here's a few photo's of it hung together to see if it works !

next job is to bolt it all together to see if it fits and works
