Stormin 4,458 #57 Posted October 27, 2014 You know, Nigel, I can picture wife saying to husband, "I want to go to the garden centre."

Indeed it does, an old VAK1 it does a very small one but its changing all the time i havent a clue what it will look like in the end, it just depends what turns up in the scrap pile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigel 1,876 #69 Posted December 17, 2014 managed to get back on this project after finishing the kubota, after making the bonnet it dawned on me that i could not fill the radiator up cos the nose cone was in the way,and i couldnt make a hole for tha rad cap cos it came halfway across the bulge on the nose, so i welded the bonnet to the nose and made a big hinge, why i was at it i cut up an old rotosythe grass box and used the louvers from it to extend the body the reason i have done this is cos the engine looks so small in the space and needed closing in a bit found a model to hold a bit of metal 4 Vinnetrow, meadowfield, rotoscytheben and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
