Thank you for your comments gentlemen. I am going to get the magneto checked over by a professional as it probably needs remagnetising after 66 years!!

Ha,

the two C-105’s are my dad and brothers – we use the bungees to stop small children climbing on. It seems the signs saying keep off are invisible to the parents who lift their children on…

Hello Charlie
Thank you for your reply
BUt i’m not sure that all the tractors were made with parts from USA. Some of them Yes but Gravely overseas made some typical models as the D Imperial or the Excel.
Anyway somepne will give the answer!

I did wonder. It looks a bit stark and new at the moment.

I should mention I tried making a washer from building up o rings but it just pulled the fuel back out the top of the pump on the up stroke without pressurising the actual tank….

I may have got slightly carried away!! The centre catch has a loop for padlock!

It came with various spares, filler funnel etc which I want to keep all together.

Not sure I’ll be able to pick it up on my own when I’ve finished though! I may need to fit it with wheels!!!

very nice well done

thanks for all your hot tips and advise. the trouble with me and computers is that I only use them because I have to,and without them I could not persue this great hobby. I have taken the soft option over my poor knowledge of computers and downloaded another picture.

ive picked up the parts from the shot blasters and dropped off the wheels.
spent saturday afternoon and today sanding down the parts ready for primer, most of the afternoon was spent on the gearbox as it has to all be done by hand.
