Re: Roller completed
It has taken about 18 months,but it was worked on now and again.
The roller was in very good order when I got it,all complete.It is ex council,well looked after machine.It had no wear in its steering.I had to sort out the cone clutch and brakes.It has a Ford 4 Cyl engine,that had not been run for many years.Its the same engine as fitted to a Ford Pop. car.I had to get the magnito reconditioned.Check the engine timing and make up a locking clamp.
I have located the original build instruction for the council spec for this roller.It was built 29 Aprill 1953.Photos show magneto and build document.I have also a set of road lamps to go with it.

Re: Roller completed
Hello John
Its the 933 to complete,then the D2 for a good cleanup and service as I restored that one 13 years ago.Then its the Fordson Standard for a repaint as that was done 15 years ago.
And a strong possibility of a BTD6/BTD8 crawler in the future.
