Mark who :D too funny ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archtech Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Looked like fun. I wouldn't mind having a spreader like that myself. I also bet there's loads of people who won't have even known what the spreader was for at first sight.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Tidy spreader, probably lastest so well because no one wanted to use ground driven rear discharge spreaders, most people moved on to rotospreaders. One load a year is ok but why not borrow a rotospreader off a neighbour ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 well the last 3 months or so have been a bit barren for the old girl , but i have decided to bring her home , so i can get out & spuddle about as & when i want . having noticed the rear lights were starting to shake about , i found the mudguards have rusted so thin they needed patching , so with the loan of a gasless MIG i set about burning holes & sculpturing pidgeon $H1T in a vain hope to re-attatch the lights trouble is the mudguards are pretty thin now & trying to get something half decent to weld to wasn't easy . not being a MIG man at all my efforts were pretty bad , but i don't think with a stick i would have done any better with either for got to take a picture till i'd started , but here's from the underside , you can see the new shiney tin through the holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 now i have only ever had one complete front side / marker light on the mudguards & considering the cost of new 'authentic' ones i decided to leave it that way , the other as you see in the pictures had no lens , (not that the lights work anyway ) but at last years yesterdays farming show i bought some cheap look a likes & at £1.50 each i've made a huge saving to say the least ! but alas it's never that easy , the old screws were rusted in & again the tin was so bad i decided to ahem for the want of a better word 'weld' more patches \ as with the rear patches some metal filler will be used to calm the horrors of my welding down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 as you may have noticed in past pictures the grill had been painted all grey& seeing as i was restless after a few cups of tea, i decided to fire up the drill & wire wheel attatchment & get the old paint off as well as the hobby dremmel thingy to clear a few hundred holes where the paint had 'filled' & thats about as far as i've got this week ! so just need to get some metal filler & a drop of paint to stop the rust startting again. now then a freind asked me to buy something on ebay for him , of which i duly did, as he is in the process of rebuilding a MK1 landrover in his garage , but he needs a sand blaster for the chassis , so this is what he's bought , will see how things go with it & report the findings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 do you intend to put a flexi clad on her in the end marcuss ?? maybe nigel , but i'm in no rush doesnt look to bad really for a first go at that type of welding mate, bit more grinding down and some fine filling she wont look to bad at all, are you going to remove the loader bracket on the front then??? she doesnt look quiet right with that in place, but a weight hanger well ,nough said i's not my first go with a MIG sean although is a first with gasless ! the loader bracket will go one day but it's ok to hang the chain from for now Good to see some action in here Mr B... and there is NOTHING wrong with that welding buddy either... thin, rusty sheet metal... that's a professional job I reckon mate... fair play ! I've got a gas-less mig in my garage... never even used it yet - what are they like mate never really had to weld much in the way of tin , it's usually the heavy guage stuff i'm used to , bit of a learning curve for me mate ! as for the welder , seems ok , this is all i've done with it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 my efforts of the day , found some silver Hammerite in the garage so got a bit carried away with it on the wheels & grill , then found some black hammerite to help the grill along a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
