You are really moving right along.

I have managed to get out to the garage and get the drivetrain finished, just a tensioner and clutch pedal to sort out. Having ran the engine to check get rartios I am quite happy with the mix of low grunt in 1st (10 rpm at 1000rpm!) and reasonable pace in top with the revs up (didn't time it was too busy holding the tractor, stopping it falling off the axle stands!)

Gotta love that big old flywheel !

Good progress, at this rate you'll be putting your garden in with it soon !

Word of advice - I'd strongly suggest posting a video of it running when you are done..... otherwise, you might end up with a whole pile of TBN'ers camped at the end of your driveway, trying to get a look ! :laughing:

Rgds, D.

Agreed! I def would like to post several videos, never had much success however with YouTube, once it's running proper I will have to consult someone! Oh you need a big flywheel when you can hear (and see) the individual combustion events! It's only 7 1/2 hp but takes a bit of stopping this little British engine!
