if ya mean the one I started on here a while ago

ermmm .... it's been left outside over an Orkney winter, so it's now looking sad, neglected and very much unloved .... am thinking of turfing over it to create some kinda dune/windbreak thing

tractors are much more fun these days

well , finaly had time to fit the fool tank, its been sprayed and sat in the workshop for two months, gathering dust,

firstly made a blanking plate for the diesel return pipe as its a petrol engine, ( the tank was one i had been saving for a special ocasion , yer kno the kinda stuff) fitted the petrol pick up and float / sender , mounted to the galv chassis with stainless nuts and bolts,

then made a lovely filler cap out of a dish cloth :)

looks like a rolling petrol bomb now :rolleyes:
 
then i made up some fool pipes out of 8mm copper and brass compression joints,

first i went and got a set of plastic pipes and connectors, it kinda spoiled a good job so they have been thrown on a shelf for another project ,

these are far better i thort
