I took Thursday and Friday off with the intension of spending 2 solid days in the garage working towards getting the tractor engine back onto the tractor and running by the end of the year. I’ve spent 3 days painting and decorating one of the rooms in the house! I managed a couple of hours in the garage on Sunday night.

I’ve got the timing cover fitted on the second attempt. The cable tie I was using on the first go got caught and I couldn’t pull it through the inspection cover. So I had to start again using string. The idea is to tie the chain tensioner sprocket in position with string. fit the cover then tighten the tensioner bolt then cut the string. Easy in theory, a little harder in practice. Well I finally got it. I don’t think any of the timing has been affected. It was an effort re inserting the new oil seal on the inside of the cover as well. Al in now.

Timing cover

Next move is to add the cover to the cam follower tops. Then i can think about getting the clutch housing cleaned up and try to join the two halves!

eBay
I sold a tractor part on eBay for 99p I don’t think I’m going to be a millionaire very soon.
