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
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 Brinley from John's had a Brinley sticker on it Chris. It was the one you found under the Morris Minor bonnet at the back corner of the workshop shed. Photo's of it on here somewhere.
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
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.
Had plenty of seat time today. As it was a good forecast for the day, I thought I'd better do some catch up round the garden, green and verges. Front hedges and bushes needed trimming, so that was the first job. After a run out for fresh petrol supply.
Next came the lawn and verge outside the house. When I'd returned from my week down south, the grass had shot up. Even though it was wet, on Tuesday, I cut the green and verges on a slightly higher setting than normal. The cut grass was left lying. Today I thought I'd better do something about it as it looked untidy.
I wasn't sure if the sweeper would pick it up as it was, so using the Black Horse and a scarifier/rake thingy the Showman gave me a couple of years back, I roughed up the lying grass. Swapped the rake for the sweeper and got the grass cleaned up.
Then it was the turn of the C-125 and cutter deck. Green and verges mowed, albeit slowly, as the grass was still quite wet. While doing the green, the deck decided to lose a wheel. This necessitated a workshop visit and both wheels were changed for those off the dead side discharge. Though a slightly larger diameter, with the rear of the deck dropped a notch, mowing commenced with no further mishaps.
All this took around 5ltrs of petrol and nine hours, including removing and cleaning the deck and tractor. Which I always do after use. Still got the green and verges to sweep, but they will be done Monday or Tuesday. Rain forecast for all day tomorrow. Well it is a Bank Holiday weekend.
