C-120 is going to another home soon

[Anglo Traction 1,016]

Having a clear out of the workshop and this is the first of the machines to go.

In the process of installing a later Transmission. Why ?, well the old original one (5091 version) developed a tiny weep on the r/h axle seal and we all know they don't cure themselves.

I suspected a worn needle bearing, so I checked it for up and down sloppy movement, as I won't sell it like that -

 

Barely 0.007" up and down total with all the weight taken on the Jack, which is not that bad.

I'm not happy just replacing the seal, so I'm going to rebuild this one and install the 103916 unit which is unmolested, clean shafts 'n' keyways, no leaks and had clean oil drained out of it-

 

It will be used for mowing and towing duties, so it will have a heavy duty WH tow hitch fitted. Old tranny is on the left, replacement should be fitted this evening and I'll make the new woodruff keys over the weekend hopefully (in between watching Singapore GP)-

Sorry Nigel, afraid it's going West to Dorset 😢.

Had some theraputic time on the machines over the weekend. Made the Keys out of EN8 Steel which is a tad softer than the originals. shown here and the new machined blank-

 

 

Milling the centre out (3/16"/ 4.75mm) to make the two keys- 

 

 

Finished Keys-

 

 

The fit is now perfect in the Keyways and reassembly under way-

Had 3 driving sessions to check the Trans out and all is well/smooth for gear changes with positive selection.

Found a tiny weep in the Brake Shaft seal, so I'm replacing them all with spring lipped type seals-

Don't recall any leaks amongst the dirt from when I obtained it, but it has been stored drained for 6 years. Used white lithium grease to run them onto the shafts.

Other side to do yet to and swapping over to Turf Maxxis Kevlars on the rear and wide turfs on the front.

Put the Gear selector cover panel back on-

  

Also pressed the original steering wheel off the old upper shaft so the new owner has the option to swap them over. So I have been active.....honest!.

All wheels/tyres swapped. Several test drives and all seals doing what they should do-

 

Had a bit of wear slack in the Clutch shaft where it passes through the Frame (frame is the bearing). Not a good design as it is often neglected and deprived of grease throughout it's life.

Could not pull the spirol pin from the spring side of the shaft bracket, so made up an extra bearing that would bolt on using the last hole in the frame nearest the Transmission-

 

It's pulled the shaft back to where is should be and applies restraint from forward, upward and downward belt/spring forces. Well greased, it is now smooth in operation

and no rattles.  Tractor is now ready for collection

Oh you're making me feel guilty now Nigel  . The other one may well be going as well yet.

Been test riding it over the last week to continue checking it over (and just to drive around for the sake of it). Sooooo comfortable with the backrest fitted, so here's 2 final pics of it-

 

  

bye bye C-120.

Stunning! Also I wasn't aware of backrests for the P2 seat, good to know

Thanks Ewan, Yes, Stumbled over that backrest on Auction (N.O.Stock). Had to drill 2 more holes to fit the older Bostrom version for correct height, but real comfy. 

Going-

Gone !.
