Thanks folks for your replies. I started using a 40 grit flappy pad on my nine inch angle grinder but the pitting is to deep so I have had to use a grinding disc instead,taking 2 or 3 mm of metal of the mouldboard. I have then used the flappy disc to take out the scratches left by the disc and hope that it is now almost ready to go .

Hi, Mike from Western Australia here. Just subscribed via the free link from the old forum. Are projets on the old forum going to be transferred across? Seems a shame to loose all the great restos and technical detail that was in them all.

Rather than pay someone you ought to get a set of tyre levers and fit them yourself, after the first one only takes a few minutes.

Need a photo really Nige, then we can have a go at identifying it

Shay incorporated tanks in handles but you say the tank is on the handle. Nice if you could put a photo on, someone might have one in there shed and come up with the answer.
