I wondered if it might be easier to use filler on the pitting. Keep up the good work.

Frame all done and primed this afternoon although i am thinking about investing in some high build primer as its quite pitted in areas.

Ignition timing for a MK15HS (High Speed) engine is 1/8″ BTDC.Loosen the flywheel so that its free to turn on the crankshaft.With the piston placed at 1/8″ BTDC slowly turn the flywheel until the points are just opening and then tighten the flywheel.Make sure the crankshaft remains stationary when the flywheel is tightened or the timing will be out !!

Sent the frame off to get blasted as it wouldnt fit in our blasting machine at work and should be done tomorrow all been well.

Is the first photo of the gun tractor a Holt?
If so, did you all clock the price paid for one at the recent large Norfolk auction of vintage tractors?

(£150k for those who didn’t, I’m not envious, it wouldn’t have fitted in my garage with the SIMARS anyway)

The body and gearboxes including pto are primed in grey then topcoated in green and then a further coat of blue has been applied, but as 137 still has traces of coach lines and decals I can only assume it left the factory blue.

All back together just need to paint bolts blue. Totaly forgot

I also found that the tractor had originally been painted lawnmower green under the blue, I wonder if they originally planned them to be green and then changed their minds, primer underneath the green is grey.

Finally managed to get back to 137 today, pressure washed off the body, degreased it and cleaned all the crud out of the gearbox. I had to use a chisel and a descaling gun to remove the Worcester marl from the underside but just look at the condition of the eighty year old bolts under the clay!

I use Champion N9y with a thread adaptor. Rubber coupling will take up any minor alignment issues.
