Project Bendy 4x4 - been a while

[meadowfield 2,708]

Many of you will have followed the work I did on Bendy over 10 years ago, it's been to a lot of shows and I've used it a lot for hauling.

 

 

The last engine was a stop gap K341, and the wiring didn't work compared to the original Magnum - nor did the kill switch, rev counter or choke!   

 

A £50 engine came up local to work and I took a gamble, within an hour I knew it was a runner and decided to do the swap,  with the UK Wheel Horse meet due, I also decided to finish the front three point that I started 9 years ago!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All set for the show!

So great to see an update, and the scenery is always welcomed!

For those of you that weren't here when this was being built I have found the build thread. Even if you never intend to build a 4 X 4 articulated Wheel Horse this thread is well worth reading. Lots of innovative thinking went into this build and it is well documented.

That may be the understatement of the month right there!

Awesome!!

 

Great to see a machine that's kept at work all these years.

I really enjoyed going through your build thread a while back. It's great to see it's been well used, and you are back to making some improvements on it!

 

That is quite the counterweight you have there.

Love the tractor, but also love the stone walls!  Is that your own handiwork?

Ha ha, some of it, the wet wall there is mine, the drywall is my son.  Heres some of mine from a few years back.
