Pitiful progress. The blasters accidentally painted my handles, a rare win for me as no extra charge. Hooray! Then I cleaned four casing bolts in a low-productivity moment at work.

All suddenly coming together.
Not really, lots more to do. But, fun to mock up what it will look like. That exhaust could really do with a new bit welded on.

Update time.
No progress on the Allen scythe.
Diesel engine went to the scrapyard. Too many broken bits, rust and alloy bloom.
The crawler has been out and about working in the garden, that’s good. No issues.
I cut up the second Howard Gem for scrap only keeping the engine and gearbox, plus some other bits that fitted in a box. The first Gem ran for the first time this morning, which was awesome.

So found out why the tractor wasn’t firing. The air filter was completely filled with emulsion. This was cleaned out and so was all the packing, mesh and felt. Job done, back together.
Wheels have gone off to a tractor specialist to get new tyres.
The crank handle gave me a blister today, the sleeve is seized on tight. I spent a while freeing it - old one is scrap. A new one is currently being made out of ally and the the end will be tapped with a bolt and washer to retain the handle.

I’ll post anything. I have a Colchester bantam guard here all boxed up waiting for a guy from Kuwait to agree on a shipping price, it’s been five years. $150 was too much. Ok dude, it sits here

Had to bite the bullet and fork out $410 for two new tyres. Annoying. Great place and I like the guys there, they didn’t charge labour and bought using their discount. Things just cost money.
I noticed the exhaust is a bit gone, so I went into the garden and recovered a spare I dumped there last year. The oil filter housing on the recovered crawler is also better than this one so I’ll swap that out. I need that exhaust off anyway to inspect the oil pump and to adjust the timing.
