I second Norms motion, a very fine result!

Your story is remarkably similar to my own in that I too have Dad's Tractor 8 that he bought in the early eighties when I was just getting into my teens and used to abuse the thing something senseless.

Very interested in your modifications- especially the steering ones. Deck clearance and steering circle can be nuisance. I've done a couple of little modifications in the past to improve it but never thought to put a crank into the beam! Well done that man!


Cheers,

I measured the turning circle today for interest sake. Turning left the turning circle was 4 meters, turning right the turning circle was 1.9 meters. A fair bit of a difference each way, but its how it works out even with the beam kicked out you can't go much further on the left side before you hit the deck. But increasing the steering angle on the right hand side i can now mow around my fruit trees in one go. So it was successful.
