Nice going Joe :thumbup: Always interesting to see your machining setups . Rob |
| Andrew Wildman:
Enjoying the build Joe. Nice to see that she goes! As for the name isn't is traditional to named it after the person that has been neglected during the build, partner cat or whatever? Thanks for the well written narrative! |

Thanks, Rob. Andrew: you're trying to get me in trouble with SWMBO? Might get away with naming a Lamborghini or Porsche after her, not so sure she'd like to be commemorated by a model of century-old tractor technology.... Got the wood segments cut out, and fastened to a strip of re-purposed clock spring (Which was a bugger to drill even after annealing) Started on the bracket the ties together all the brake stuff: needed a tapered hole for the brake shaft, finally got a use for the really cheap-o tapered reamer that I bought 20 years ago for de-burring some copper plumbing line some hack-saw and file work, milled some recesses to hold the gusset in position for soldering, and turned the shaft that the brake lever rides on, drilled and tapped the blind-end of the first bit, again, just to hold it in position for soldering and here it is dry-fitted, will get the torch out tomorrow...

Turned and threaded some rod for the brake shaft, silver soldered a collar on it made up the pair of plates that hold every thing together, and various pins that hold the brake band and a tapped one for the brake shaft, took a picture of it but it didn't turn out, so you will have to imagine it.... so instead, here it is all assembled in place. Hand wheel to make and the brakes are done Joe |
