my new thumper restoration .... prize for who guesses what it is ...

[CrazyFrog]

it was the 'rudimentary clutch and gears' that swung it......

That's what made me plump for a CZ...

also known as a length of frayed sash cord with a knot at one end....

in this case, the farmyard lifesaver and fix anything gizmo ..... baler twine

working on it 

Does that mean you’re working on the restoration of said Allen scythe, or the prize for John? 🤣👍

Both

here we go, got the old girl working today, needed a new ignition armature and various stuff like throttle cable, silencer, woodruff keys for the wheels, and a lot of s/s nuts/bolts, split pins etc.
huge fun to do, i haven't stuck to the exact original colours, just the closest i could get with hammerite.

[Steve Lake]

oh, and new tyres and tubes, not cheap, but had to be done .... £40 per tube/tyre and a real sod to change.

of course, now it's working, it'll be getting stripped for a tune up, send the barrel away for boring out for larger piston, reporting and polishing. fit HC piston... possibly a carillo rod, then get it re-chipped  ....
