| So my plan of getting this finished over the half term term holiday didn't quite work out! Nowt wrong with optimism I guess! I've got as far as reassembling it. I think I'm going to weld the diff up, enough of you have convinced me its a good idea. I havent any new pictures and I'm not venturing outside as it's 1st June and belting down with rain outside, British summer! I couldn't finish largely due to not having a suitable sized belt for it. I have a collection of 20-30 v belts, all too long or too short! I played around for too long with trying to make it work another way with longer/shorter belts, then decided to buy a belt. A false economy really when the belt was only a few pounds. I've ordered the one I think is the correct size and the next size up/down to be sure! I defo want to have this done and running by the end of the weekend though. | |

| Hey jonnya, is that a homemade woodstove in that one picture? Tractor is progressing some anyway, rear axle is pretty neat looking. | |

| Yup that's what keeps me warm in the winter. Made out of an old gas bottle. Kids, don't go grinding into a gas bottle! Even an 'empty one'. DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST! | |

| So, it's 0844 local time, my other half's out with friends pretty much all weekend which gives me an extra long 'shed ticket'! I think I have everything I need to complete project number 2. Incidentally, my mower stag weekend is still very much going ahead, a slight change is the event. My friend's dad wasn't too keen on Blokes + Beer + motorised vehicles in his field, so we are going to do the same, but will be more of a time trial. I am building some obstacles: a couple of ramps, a large sheet of plastic + liquid soap for doughnuts, and a see-saw (I think you guys call them teeter-totters?) to drive over. Should still be heaps of fun. | |

| Hi, although I know this isn't really a contender, I'd still like to enter this as its the only one of my 3 projects I actually completed! I don't have any good photos, I can get some at the weekend if needed. It's dark when I get home from work at the mo. I have got a pic of it finished from the summer, July sometime. My Nephew having driven it up a bank in a big puddle. and here is a video of him driving along the same track, listen for the belt slipping when wet! Or just wait till it stops in a puddle.. Check out my fuel tank at the end of the video. It's and old fire extinguisher! I'll be happy if I win 'Best fuel tank'! | |
