Rocboni 257 #26 Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks Norm. I've not tried it on the tractor yet, I hope it is proportional, I don't fancy making another! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #28 Posted February 7, 2016 I assume that's undercoat and it will be painted the same as the ITW? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocboni 257 #30 Posted February 7, 2016 I actually painted it silver, I thought that if I painted it maroon and I actually used the tractor/hook the paint would chip and look awful. It probably should be maroon though. 1 Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

expeatfarmer 591 #32 Posted March 1, 2016 Malvern was the first time I had seen this machine in the flesh and I have to say that it is absolutely superb the attention to detail and the effort involved in building it is amazing and to think that Rhys is a lad of 20 years old it is superb positively restores my faith in the youth of today. Well done Rhys you should be very proud of yourself. When are you going to deliver it to me !!!!! 4 nigel, C-101plowerpower, Stormin and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocboni 257 #35 Posted March 2, 2016 Thanks, going to concentrate on getting the engine running right, I'm not keen on the drayton with its tendencies to run on the oil in the crankcase and over revv ect and become difficult to stop! Suppose it's avoided by draining regularly. May bring another machine to HVC rally, could do without any deadlines in case I've got the engine in bits! Sorry I can't sell you the ITW Jonathan, Janet said I've not to let you have it... 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
