OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Collectors Corner Ride On My GreenField Mini Tractor 8

Well, after the BIG Trip I'm a very happy chappy ( awesome movie by the way)
Today the Whatever is out there (gods) shone on me. I found a seized pully bearing that was
stopping the belt from moving, so off the belt comes & hey Presto the motor now moves freely.
Some fuel in the tank, turn on valve (thar she blows) fuel flow in to carby (smile building) had to hold choke on as no cable connected, two quick pulls. I left the throttle lever half way and she started on the third go, YEEHAA!
Basically she's in fantastic condition for a "75" model (from engine code)
Here's some photos

G'day all, I just took it for a test drive around the backyard (after a puncture repair)
What a little beauty, forwards & backwards working fantastic. Running great after a carby tweek

Now to work on the cutting deck clutch set up & that seized idler pulley bearing (A few Donors on life support that will donate an idler pulley) "Baahahahahaa"

some videos,

I found myself a donor for $25, well it found me, I got put on to this by a bloke I bought a Greenfield catcher from in country Victoria. He has a running HD8 lined up for me when I want it, as well. Amazing how friendships start from simple common interests (collecting)

Evening All,
the cutter clutch was an easy fix, just a plastic bush on the engagement lever needed replacing. Had some wheelbarrow wheel bushes & I had one which was a perfect fit.

Now it's a Beaut wee machine. best Grey nurse I ever spent...
next is the body work & engine painting

I have never understood why people trash those Greenfields, they are so rebuildable, great machines

Did a full service on my Baby this weekend & gave the yard a Quick mow with A camera in hand.
"oh the HORROR" BAAhahahaaa.

Here's what came of it... enjoy

I was doing a bit of work yesterday on a mates Evolution and I do like the steering setup on those much better that the early Greenies. I wanted to tip it upside down and have a look at how they have done it but my mate wasn't interested

like this I'm guessing

That looks like it, I had to pull one of the tie rods off and straighten it because it was bent, but it certainly works well, much lighter that the earlier ones
