Ordered a 6 meter length of box steel to start building the front loader, It was attrached to a piece of timber to stop it bending, the metal must have fallen off so the courier just delivered a piece of timber and left it in the back of my truck, They are sending me a new piece but Tufnells delivery didn’t have a big enough lorry to drop it off.

Bookmarked, can't wait to see what you do with the loader. You planning to add hydraulics?

Cheers The metal turned up today and I got double what I ordered and one of the lengths was missing a bit of timber. For hydraulics or something to lift the loader I’m going to either fit a electric ram off a mobility scooter Or a electric sicissor jack that’s been cut down a bit. To tilt or shake the bucket I’ll probably attract a clutch cable to it or a bicycle brake cable and then attaché that to the old leaver that you lower the blades with. Bucket wise. I want to get some that’s already made, so might get a gas bottle and cut that open or try and find a big box section to cut two sides off.

These small garden tractors are great fun and very addictive to collect. I am too embarrassed to say how many I have in my collection, but it looks like I may be a bit late to warn you about the addictive bit

I think I am addicted to them but haven’t got any room. 4 so far. One is rotten so that will be just for spares. Got the 4th one running, haven’t taken it for a test drive yet. Hoping to get some work done on the loader this bank holiday.

I built a very dodgy looking car port out of free wood and roof sheets. With some blue plastic to keep the worst of the weather off my M3 last October. Moved the m3 back onto the drive so all the local car theifs in Birmingham can see it and so I can use it this summer. So put the mowers under it. And the one I bought most recently has done half a hill climb Got most of the bits to start making it to a proper little tractor but not much time just at the minute.

Hi guys I'm really hoping you can help me out. I have a lawn flite mtd same as pictured which I picked up recently for a very silly price. It had been sitting for a lot of years. I've rewired the mower and fitted a new ignition switch and it runs like a dream. I am having issues with the cutting deck and the rear axle. When engaging the cutting deck it vibrates like crazy to the point where I thought the deck was going to fly off! My other issue is I can't roll the bloody thing at all, i know the drive belt is snapped it was like that when I got it but I've tried everything and it will not move. I've jacked the rear up and although both rear wheels a min freely they spin in opposite directions. Please shed some light if you can. Cheers Adam

You need to get the gear lever in neutral to push it, it’s quite difficult to find in mine.
The cutting deck, I’d make sure the blades and free moving and straight and not been bent by stones etc.

Yeah i can get the mower into netual perfectly fine as when in either forward or reservse i can't move the pulley apart from a little free play but once in netual I can spin the pulley fine but I can't roll it around and i don't fancy putting another belt on it and it snaps it. I've got the deck off and going to give it a once over and see what's happening.
Do you have any spares for these at all? I'm after a couple of bits

I've now sorted the axle and got it rolling thank God! I'm after the cover that goes over the gear stick for forward neutral and reverse between your legs if youve got it at all? Mine was missing it when I got it

Mine was missing it when I got it I have got two of them but I need them for mine. I had to buy them separate myself. I nice piece of checker plate off eBay. Make a carbfboard template to get the gear home in right place and a 32mm drill bit will make a nice replacement. That what I planned before I sourced the original ones.

Been a while Bought a new house last year, and fed up of using a push mower, I’ve fitted a deck, painted and refitted all the front, just need to get a new petrol tank and pipes, fix two flat tyres and might be able to use it to cut the grass, bought it before my son was born, he starts school in September so about time I did something with it. Still have three mowers, one is rotten and the other one my son says it’s his and want to repaint it
