Tractor progress...

I've been quite busy over the last few weeks with the A111 - I'll let the pictures do the talking...

Just to say I had my starter motor done at Broadway Electrical Services in Greys and their service was superb. The work was done by a guy called Rob who is very friendly & very helpful. He replaced the springs & bushes, machined the armature & had two solenoids rewound & it arrived fresh as a daisy, all for £180 all in! Last night the A111 fired straight up after not being started for 6 months!!! It now turns over really strongly & runs great!

John Hearn has also been a great help in sourcing parts & provided me with a dating letter for registration. He helped me get the lights, brackets & ignition switch - thanks John!

Hoping to have it ready for the Newark tractor show on the 11-12th November & have it road registered soon. I think maybe I need to revise the indicator brackets I made last night though?

Gill.

Looking good there Gill

There is progress with my tractor, albeit at a rate not too dissimilar to it's top speed!
