Steve200TDi Garage and new shed build
Anderzander replied to steve200TDi's topic in Tools and Fabrication
Awesome šš» like the 5Ā° idea. -
Reading this makes me realise how woefully inadequate my garage wiring is.

Is the picture I posted not showing ? š§

The Taxman and the Ineos Grenadier
Anderzander replied to jeremy996's topic in The New Ineos Grenadier
I wondered if you would post on this ā¦ you are the forum financial advisor if Iām not mistaken ? š¤© -
-
That looks great ! š Can I be cheeky .. whatās the total cost for it? I know timber is a lot more than it used to be, which now I think about it is has led me to presume itās unaffordable.

I thought you couldnāt claim VAT back unless it was on their list ? If thatās not the case what is the point of the list ? It is all rather confusing ! -
Steve200TDi Garage and new shed build

Exciting ! How thick is your slab ? -
I think it was a CT177 I hired to fetch my tractor ā¦ good trailer .. but I wouldnāt want a shipping container on it š¤£
-
I had started to look at those and was initially leaning that way .. Cost wise though - a new control box plus a dynamo rebuild is still a lot less money than the Tudor alternatorā¦. Where Iād then also be wanting to change from an ammeter. Plus then there is the originality bit ā¦ I am going to be trying a different starter motorā¦ but it would be good to limit what I change where I can. Original is nice if it works ā¦.and that dynamo has worked for it (to some degree) since 1958.
-
Iāve been thinking about this - standard delivery wouldnāt work for me I want it in a field. A bale trailer and a telehandler are the obvious choice if I can coordinate arranging it all ..

I missed this - great news that your 110 will live again š

On to the next thing ā¦. I have noticed is that there is something no right with the charging circuit. If you watch a multimeter across the battery it reads just the battery voltage .. which does creep up a tenth of a volt at a time. Im no expert on dynamos, but I think it should have more than that coming out the regulator / control box. I popped the wires off the dynamo and checked the power terminal, against earth, for its voltage. It should be 2-4v. I got -1.2 hmm. Made me thing it wasnāt polarised - so I kept it disconnected and put a jump cable onto the battery positive (itās -be earth) and brushed it against the dynamoās field terminal .. got a little spark .. and that got rid of the minus sign. Even building the revs really high only got it to about 1.7v. Then I ran out of time .. though I did clean up the terminals a bit when I wired it back up. If I can connect those two terminals together .. and measure voltage from there to Earth I should get up to its full voltage A up to 20v (as itās no regulated)ā¦ so I think thatās the next test. Somethings not right from what Iāve already got though. Itās about Ā£80 to get the dynamo rebuilt and about Ā£25 for a control box. Still nothing from dvla unfortunately.

With that done .. I could sort the air cleaner. I reckon there was more moneyās worth of tape on the inlet rubber than the new rubber cost ā¦ The inlet rubber goes into the back of the dash .. I guess that is deemed the least likely spot to get harvest dust in it? The removable mesh filter from the bottom was replaced - I guess this is the primary filter - the mesh in the top half is fixed. I put SAE30 in here - canāt imagine multigrade will get up to temperature.. All done. Starting really well now. Fuel ā Air ā Starter wiring ā Heater plug ā
-
Before I went to re-fit the filter I wanted to re-route the battery cable .. In doing that I noticed that it was sparking around the terminalā¦. Not ideal. So I brought forward my plan to make up a new cable. i was going to use a new battery terminal - but then I thought I should really clean up the original: A before and after. Itās Vaseline on the Earth. Having new flexible 35mmĀ² next to the old original cable was a stark contrast. So much easier to work with. That little pot thatās plumbed into the fuel tank is called āthe auxiliary tankā itās fed from the top of the fuel filter and feed the heater plug. Whilst I was on this side I cleaned and tidied up the wires and started terminals. I may end up replacing this .. but itās not wasted effort.

I bought a tin of the right paint for the grey .. flint grey. Lovely colour - though not, as it transpires, the one the previous owner used. So I took the air cleaner off and got some pain mixed up to match it. (Flint grey wonāt go to waste - I can use it on the trailer when I get into that.) Before and After : Colour match was brilliant ā¦ though it seems he used another shade again for the wheels. š¤· The plan here was that, having sorted the fuelling out with new filters, Iād turn my attention to the air.

Recommendations for replacement bulkhead parts

I quite like the idea of the Shielder single skin onesā¦ā¦. -

Not sure it fits in the āI want itā category.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135001317300? -
I find it interesting how the rev counter is run from the drive on the injection pump.
-
I un-seized the rev counter tonight and fitted a new drive cable. Pattern parts again though - the square end of the cable was too big, so I had to carefully hold the flat sides against a grindstone to take them down a bit and fit. Worked though. All you V8 lovers .. I cant see how you donāt love a diesel at idleā¦.
-
Thanks - the chap I bought it from seems a good guy, heās being helpful, and his business has lots of very very positive reviews on Google, so he seems a decent chap. He does say thatās the (only) log book he got. If itās come from probate - perhaps the V5 from the previous owner wasnāt the latest one ? Iāll just have to wait and see. Iām told there is often issues with this old farm machinery as farmers arenāt good record keepers ā¦..
-
There is a worrying development with it actually ā¦ DVLA havenāt returned a V5 to me and are saying the V5 I saw and had the new keeper slip from was not the last v5 issued. This is their email: From my perspective I collected it from the guy whose name was on the v5 - at the address on the v5 ā¦ so not sure what has happened. I do know the guy does probate house clearance and bought the tractor as part of that .. so I wonder if dvla are trying to contact someone who is dead ā¦. Though that wouldnāt explain a further v5 issued after it had gone into his name. Hope it all works out ā¦.
