the showman 4,074 #1 Posted March 7, 2014 Had a phone call from a local guy with a Wheelhorse all in bits. he said that he had stripped it to restore, but hasn't had time. you know what its like when you go to look!!!. should have gone in the car. it looks like a mid 70s raider 10. all I gotta do is get it in the shed without Pam seeing it.

the showman 4,074 #23 Posted March 9, 2014 had some time spare today and it being so nice I had a bit of Horse-play. got most of the tractor together now, I forgot how many parts there are. the chap I got it from really stripped it even took the valves out of the tyres. I had some track-rods in stock so fitted them and will keep the stainless ones for a project. here's a couple of todays progress. 2 nigel and pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
