Muir Hill 121

[844john]

I made the mistake of recently finding the plans that I drew for this several months ago, and unfortunately I couldn't  help myself! Anyway, as usual a start on the engine/gearbox

[alf aphid]

Oh, now this looks very interesting!!!

[Barry]

Interesting, I recently designed a new kitchen for a guy that did his apprenticeship with Muir Hill in the late 60's, he was asked to do drawing for the Muir Hill tractors, this is some of his work.....

 

 

[844john]

They're very nice Barry, I'm always in awe of people with technical drawing skills like that!

[844john]

Made a start on the floorpan and cab

Now there's different..... didn't expect you pulling that one out of the hat John  It's barely into Feburary and your already teasing us with more builds, whats the rest of the year going to hold in store, Looking good though 

[844john]

Thanks Paul, I shouldn't have started this really as I've got enough that i want finished before lambing, but after finding the drawings again i couldn't resist! Anyway, a bit of pressure never does any harm....after all there's only 3 tractors and a baler that's earmarked for finishing in the next five or six weeks, as for after lambing time.......well......

Wasn't me Paul....honest! Anyway, unless she's spending a lot of her time up here in Langleydale then it's very unlikely, the wife reckons I'm hefted to the spot!

[844john]

a little more progress, air cleaner, cab roof and sliding door added, and a start on the back end

[Hajo]

Superb built, and all from scratch ... amazing!!

[844john]

some more progress on the linkage, and a start on the front axle

[JEP]

Stunning John!! 

[844john]

Rear linkage more or less finished and front axle built, the rear wheels are just temporary until i dig out another pair like the fronts
