You wouldn't read about it, but after 10 years out in a paddock, all it took was fresh fuel and it fired up first pull! sounded good too!
Well I spent the better part of the day fighting the rust and I've pretty well won the battle, it has steering again, the pedal moves and it rolls!
Tomorrow i might start on the deck and the seized pulley assembly. unfortunately ill have to rebuild the drive as the corks have come adrift.
Prd,ok that's interesting, the rims look the same as the ones on the yellow machines, do you know what the overall diameter of the tyres is? I've been looking for solid tyres for my rover trailer but they don't seem to be very common anymore. Luckily enough I have a spare set of those rims. I had some rancher fronts that will do the job for now.
Have a bit or welding to do on the frame, the steering column has all but come adrift, and the front end has been repaired at some point, but I think it will turn out just fine! No paint for this one for now, just want to get it operational, and really should finish the yellow restoration!
