I've got a Wheelhorse rear bracket to attach a dozer blade or tiller to the tractor but need another one but they are hard to find so I thought I'd make a copy. Start with a bit of quarter plate bent to shape, make a template from cardboard and drill some holes and a few square ones. I was lucky to have an old mount from a 265 to nick a couple of bits from Just needs a coat of paint when I get time

Happy birthday Angus, have a good day mate.

Hi and welcome to the forum, if you look down to files there's a service manual that covers your tractor, if you look down to gearbox and drive there's a picture of the belt and idlers

The number doesn't come up on my data list, i'm guessing it's mid 80's by the lift handle

That looks like the deck id plate, has it got one on the tractor ?

It's not that one Alan. I think this one was under the lean to

The hitch on the Unknown plough I made to fit a clevis hitch I made on the back of the Bolens 600 but it wouldn't pull it when I tried it at Johns and hav'nt tried it since

It needs moving nearer the o/s wheel as the gap between the furrows is to big

Not sure, it was one I found at Johns and has no markings, It went straight in the ground but I need to change the hitch to make it more adjustable

Just spent the weekend at a working weekend organised by my local vintage tractor club for members only. Its mostly big tractors but they always welcome me with the Wheelhorse's and give me plenty of room to play. Friday I arrived and set up the caravan in a good flat spot, Saturday I was up early and fitted my trusty auto-culto plough and went to the working field, after a few runs it was time for a cuppa and lunch. Most of the afternoon was spent using a plough I've never used before but I was very pleased with it just needs a few mods. Saturday evening was spent at the BBQ which was great with plenty of food and puddings, lots of banter and very enjoyable. Sunday was a chill out day with bacon rolls for breakfast cooked on the barby and plenty of tea and more chatting, finally got to the field with the tiller before they started cooking sausages for lunch. In all a very enjoyable weekend with loads of playing and seat time amongst some nice people. Heres a couple of photos I managed to take.

That should give you hours of fun Alan, . Hears a photo of the shed entrance we found it in.

I see you've scratched the paint as well, pins and touch up paint are an extra

And no photos again !

Have a good day Andrew, all the best mate,

Nice to see the Speedex, made by Mr H pond brother to Mr C Pond who made Wheelhorse,

Without photos it didn't happen .
