Well daisy Mays motor is back together now and refitted to the tractor, here are some more pics of odds and sods and a few bits of the tractors history ,

right the cranks had a regrind and is back with us .020 mains and .030 big ends

as you can see Ive already put the main bearings on , and Ive fitted the new rear crank seal

and the new liners are in the block ready

new pistons with rings and pins

want to see the old stuff

see them rings in front of the liners Warning do not mix them up they are machined as pairs ,and when you put them back in turn the bottom ring by 90* degree ,

ha ha ha them big ends are great , anyway now the motors built and back on and test run

and its all sweet and dandy now , funny over the years this tractor has had a hard life from chucking its cam chain

to snapping its front pin , poor thing belly flopped

And yes Ive made a new front pin for daisy

so their you have it ,

And what did I get up to over the weekend , well a little trip out to one of the biggest sets of locks in the country

A really nice bit of water engineering , OK a big bit of engineering when you see the size of them

a good days work to get through this lot , and all of them are not in the picture there are many more up and down from where i took this picture,

a real nice place for a day out with cracking wildlife in the reservoirs

and stunning views from the top of the hill, so go see for your self ,
