Hi Andy thanks for clearing that up for me as who ever split these crankcases last put the two flat bronze glands next to the crank web and not against the cases
Also you say fit new ones with new springs I have looked on villiersservices.co.uk and villiers parts.co.uk and do not seam to see them, also Google did not help. Do you recommend any where or is it a case of calling in the new year to the said company’s

sounds like an idea for another wheelhorse project “amphibious wheelhorse” could be called a “seahorse”

Very nice and a bit different, good find !!

Thanks for all the replies,
Very intresting so far , I did study the youtube videos and this may be a option to enquire.

This is the lever for the hydraulic lift,

its the hydraulic oil levels , where to put it in and drain it out from im concerned about.

few things I need to check re hydraulics because the lift up & down are slow but the tractor seems to engage and drive fine,
Oil type ATF ?
quantity ?
what to look for as to current oil condition.
where to drain out and refill, quantity & type of oil , how to check levels

im hoping that a complete oil change will help speed up the link arms movement, as ive now completely renovated, painted and greased all moving parts.

Haven’t got a clue when it was last changed, got to need a change.
