Thats where my old printer is. Possibly to be joined fairly soon by the PC..

Like a wall?

 

[Luggsey]

Do you want a laugh at my expense?
I just welded on a new wheel to my wheelbarrow, I bought a lovely wheel at the scrappy on solid a axel so was very pleased when my first attempt at welding old crappy metal actually worked!
Really chuffed I went to spin the wheel and realised it's a solid axel designed to run in bearings!
I now have a static flower planter.....

Dohhhhhhhh!

In my defence I was excited to try my new welder!

@slim_boy_fat @dobbslc ,it’s close ,but not that close!were 3’above the highest flood I’ve experienced in 33years,which was last February.

If I evaporate it here, do you have condensation equipment to reverse the process?

But look on the bright side: The welded-on axle practically eliminates high-speed wheelbarrow accidents!

There's an agricultural plastic used for sheep pens/pig sheds.
I've never used it - but it's been recommended on here a couple of times.
I can't remember what it's called.

Are the trees holding the phone box, or viki-verki?

Yes, but if you used the Teleport.

Yes, but if you used the Teleport.

Not all today, but over a few weekends, rebuilt a Perkins P3, new liners, crank, rings, bearings, all clearances to factory spec, put together and the first coat of Fordson Empire Blue on. Needs another coat before bolting the bits and pieces back on, the fitting the adapter plate and clutch and bolting back onto the body.

I was going to spray it but the castings are quite rough so a decent quality Tractol paint goes on nicely and can be worked well into the metal.

Looking forward to firing it up.

Well really I should have put a pic of the polisher I restored up first but now that I have it, I used it to clean these up. One and a half Carver clamps a before and after:



They both looked bad before I started and now they look quite smart to be honest.
