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.

Neat. You'll look like these guys only on lawn tractors.

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'!
