Tidy bit of kit Paul, you'll have to learn to walk like Andrew on the arena display,

, its not a crack, its the water level as its coming to the boil

My dearest wife bought me a present yesterday while we were in Lidls.

Managed to get in the shed and do a bit more. i finished getting the rust and crap off the chassis and got a coat of primer on it and sorted out a couple of attach a matic thingys.

Ditto.

Now the disruption of Christmas is over its back to the shed. This is a Raider 10 thats been in the back of my woodstore for a few years and during my rebuild on the Raider 12 ive been piling bits together to put it together. Had a bit of a late start as i had to clear all the sawdust after sawing up a load of wood during the last couple of days. This is as far as ive got today apart from the chassis is now sanded down to bare metal

Cut the posts and split them yesterday. Now stacked ready to throw on the fire and keep me toasty.

This is the FINAL update Norm, not doing anymore to it. It works fine as it is. !!!.

I needed to get in the shed today and shut the door with the radio on. i picked up some post and rail fencing Christmas eve so i thought i would cut up the rails today that had been stored in the van. heres a photo, I'll do the posts tomorrow

Final update on the gantry, I stuck some rubber on the monkeys legs to stop it scratching the paint when it runs side to side. It only takes a few minutes to put up and I think it will be handy for lifting heavy items. Im quite pleased with the end result and it's only cost me a tenner for the paint

Happy birthday matey, have a good day.

And all the other shows throughout the year

I think if I lived as close as you do I could get myself into trouble.

As i spend some time on the road I normally stop at my favourite lay-by snack bar called Gabie's grill. Friday being no different I stopped as usual and was met by the girls who were only to happy to make me a bacon sarnie. i have to say i had a nice surprise and had an extended lunch break .

Happy birthday George, hope you have a good day,

Depth wheel sounds interesting, I'm watching this.

Would like to wish all the forum user's a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

That looks better Norm, I can follow what your doing now,

Happy birthday James, have a good day mate.

All my Raider 10s have a 9/16 bolt to hold the wheel on

I'm a bit confused Norm, the bolts and spacers are on the stub axle where the wheel goes, the other end with the circlip goes through the axle

That should keep ya going for a couple of weeks

Just a small update and some photos, All cleaned up and a coat of red oxide primer

Try spinning it over with the sparkplug removed, your soon know if something is binding up on the crankshaft
