I bet it let out a bang that happened, what was wrong, did the tool dig in or was it just thinned out too much?

A little bit of both. I used a skew chisel incorrectly and dug in. The mortice was too shallow and yes, it went with a bang!

a couple of hours in....

I like it @qwakers, I am going to try that. I have an old IBC still in the frame, think I will leave it in there and just cut the top, could always cable tie the liner to the framework and use the top to hang gear off.

yeah a ibc frame is ideal to stop floppyness

fit a good hose on the end and you can fill up 25 litre containers rather well from there taps

wash out the last junk in another 25 litre container and its clean put the rest back in container when needed

better if it was a little higher up as well so could poor into it

best way make a steel frame sit it on it then make a walk way at side of it or front of it when clean out time open tap fill your containers

Woke up early 5 o clock in the morning today.
Went to a customer holidays house in Solanas (Google it as Solanas Sardinia)at 7 o clock.
Made the point of the situation and back home at 12 o clock .
Had lunch with my uncles (hate them ) very tiring ....
Had slept in the afternoon .
Watched the first minute of the F1 changed channel prior to destroy the TV ....
And ejected a 5mm kidney stone with included piece of meat
Had dinner

If any folks on here want a framed IBC pretty sure I can get hold of a few.

Not really made more finished off the wall i built with a coat of water seal.

Not so much made, more made to run again . My parents just bought this 1948 Fergy so I went through it and then finally got it run. I stripped tank and rocker cover to lube it all to avoid the old dry start. Then drained tank. Cleaned carb and lines etc. Found an issue with the stopcock so hopefully we can fix it properly tomorrow and then I’m going to hopefully be converting to 12v.
Starter motor has some internal damage somehow when I stripped and cleaned the contacts so it just makes sense rather than buy a 6v starter and battery. May as well just get the 12v of each and a new dynamo.
Managed to jump start it and once it started and I worked out it’s issues I was able to start on the handle. Hard work though

I'd go with the conversion to 12V and from dianamo to alternator

Today I made a couple of straight things circular.



I was just trying out my new acquisition from @Sammy7 that I fianally picked up last week.



I should have taken a photo of it before taking it apart for transport but I think I have it together the right way. (it works well anyway)
Maga pleased with it and still think (know) I robbed him.

It need a few bits sorted like the latch to lock the handle for the removable roller.



I was thinking of brazing a piece of steel in, or would it be better to get a bit of cast iron?
I assume there should be a spring loaded pin.

well i could do this instead



if a icb is too big theres always a barrel you can use instead

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220-Litr...462091?hash=item421021578b:g:tx8AAOSwlTBeGEol

however if you can get the smaller icb

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/600-Litr...422957?hash=item1f12dc712d:g:vioAAOSwPU1fBj2B

the ibc 600 is a w 800mm x L 1200mm x H 1000mm

The 600 litre is quite a useful size i have one to collect when it is empty that i am going to try and convert into a media blasting cabinet.

Cant hook is working now, though needs some refinement yet I think.

That’s the plan. Not sure on price of an alternator and I don’t know if we’d need to replace anything else. It’s got an electronic ignition fitted so I’m hoping that doesn’t need to go.

I’m still so confused say trying to think what I said

Electronic ignition should be something new so I believe it has something like a data plate somewhere which says how many volts it needs to work .
I've recently converted a small stationary engine from magneto to ignition coil.
Made an hybrid system
The magneto still works but only on the low voltage side ,same thing for the points .
Added an external coil which should work in the 6V up to 12V range .
The magneto provides 4.5V but it enough to work.
So I believe that the ignition system in your tractor has a voltage range .
And it's probably born for 12V
But 6 volts are enough to make it generate a spark .

Check if you can find the specifications on it

Made a mess of my first resin hybrid bowl
View attachment 241330

What happened? I use resin quite a bit looks like the chuck blew it apart

I would install a Lucas type and if you use the type with the built in regulator it would fit straight on and the existing wiring would work as well.
They are about £50 new but I'd be very surprised if someone hadn’t a suitable one knocking about.

Even a rubbish alternator will be far better than a perfect dynamo, so you will have to add an extra big spade terminal and wire to take the amps.
It was a common mod back in the day so would look right too. (if that matters)
