I finally got into the garage tonight. Christmas seems a long time ago. I’ve been so frustrated at not being able to spand a couple of hours in the garage.

My main priority is to get the engine attached to the tractor.
I’ve re attached the cover for the valves which has the oil filler and breather attached to it. It looks great. I can’t wait until the whole  tractor looks a nice new shiney coat of grey.

Cover bolted in place

In order to add the engine I started cleaning around the outside of the bell housing. I wanted to clean so far away from the engine but I didn’t want to repaint the whole gearbox section. I want the tractor back together and running I start tackling more restoration.

Bell housing without paint

The section directly behind the engine is full of mud and oil. Its to fiddly to get in and clean once he engine is in place so I’m doing it now.

Starting Mechanism needs cleaning

More to come as I want the engine in by the end of this weekend.
