the showman

Lovely bit of ash, splits real easy almost a shame to burn it

Your find most solenoids will fit Harry, you only need a battery power in and out and a live to activate it

They look brilliant Norm, specially once the stickers are on them. 

My new neighbours next door are very friendly and me being my normal helpful person that i am i offered to tidy up their drive free of charge.

they were very pleased

Have you stolen the Showmans seat of BAPs then

Mine's got arm rests Chris,    pay attention

I like the basic steering, be careful when you sit on it

They just need a Horse's head decal in the middle .

Nice work Chris, I like the contrast between the freshly painted wheel and Bap's faded oiled bodywork

Are you going to paint the front wheels and wheel weights?

I don't think so Ian, Its only a working tractor and I don't want to get into painting bits

Like everyone else says the patina on that tractor looks absolutely great , love to see them looking like that , is that the free tractor that I put you onto Chris ?

Yes it was Neil, looks a bit different now tho

I love the look of your tractor Chris and it just keeps getting better with every change you make. Have you considered adding washer fluid to the rear tyres to add even more weight?

 

Iain

I have thought about water ballast the rears but i'm going to try it first.

I'll keep the thought as a plan "b"

Nice job on the Wheels Chris !. Let me guess, you found another use for the Bathroom Scales? .

Weights are a handy addition and I note you also call it a C120....is it a '74' or '75'?.  Look's good in Working Clothes

Its badged up as a Raider 12 Richard, ive got it marked as a 1974

This tractor is still working hard and starts easy after a week of standing.

heres some better photos 

You forgot to post the photos Norm. 

Its just a quick rub down with a T& M and 20/50.

Looking good Norm.

Our ploughing match was cancelled because of the weather , just waiting to find out when they going to hold it

Happy belated birthday Sparky, hope you had a good day

Seems a shame to paint it Chris.

its been in the shed through the winter but now it outside i just wanted something on it to protect it

Got my working wheelhorse out today, first job was to fit the refurbished rear wheels, change the standard seat for a heavier one and fit the wheel weights.

taken off.

two standand wheels 52lbs.

standard seat.............11lbs.

fitted on.

two narrow wheels 48lbs.

seat........................37lbs.

two rear weights.....100lbs.

so total extra is 122lbs, I'm pleased with that and should help with traction 

Looks good Paul, lucky to find one of those
