Tom not just the sheet metal it has the same Ford front end assembly with the funny I beam and holds all through it for adjustable width I guess never really studied the design much but it jumps out at you. Very utilitarian looking.
I suspect it is another clone or rebranded ford with all the same parts.

Yes, yes, now I became jealous again, do you think it works well to have diesel as a basis, I have not looked so much at these, but there are many more of diesel than gasoline here.

In our country and in Serbia, they produced IMT tractors under the Ferguson license, they bear the IMT designation 533 and 539. I have been studying the 533 model for a long time, it has a three-cylinder engine, a displacement of 2.3 l and a compression ratio of 1: 16.5. Rated engine power is 35HP. As you can see, it has almost ideal characteristics for operating on wood gas and also for regulating power and operating speeds. Tile engines also have some disadvantages, such as oil sealing, otherwise they are easy to maintain and work reliably. So I will start with a major engine service, and then ā¦

Maybe this post will seem a little confusing, but I will write my own thought anyway. I look a little at the likes and responses on a particular topic and I have to say that by todayās norms you are an abnormal society and I find myself here too. Facts suggesting this: - If someone buys or has an old used machine and benefits from it, or at least tries to use it, he receives a lot of support -if someone tries to create something from waste material, he also receives a lot of attention and support -if someone is doing well, most of them can afford it -if someone writes something unpleasant, they withdraw the contribution or apologize -respect, tolerance, modesty, ā¦ what can I say, these characteristics are beyond the standards of modern man, but I wonder if we are normal or we do not know how to adapt and we have been run over by time, or modern man is running out of ground? Iām glad Iām not normal!

Tone, I get the feeling youāre a bit of a philosopher, as well as a tinkerer. Good combination 
Jokes aside - I agree. Itās my experience tinkerers are good people in general. I donāt partisipate in any other forums on the internet, but this forum certainly manages to attract good people only

I have to say this forum is the most well behaved and kindest out of any Iāve been to. I think itās because it started on a foundation of good-will and everyone else paying it forward.

I remember a few years ago at Argos someone looked around and said " There isnāt a clean pair of jeans in the entire bunch". All the folks I talked to took it as a compliment.

It may be different in your part of the world Tone, but in a country as large as the US there are really very few people running around that actually do anything but consume and most of what they consume comes from the far east. People that do things with their hands are looked down upon. A banker or Hedge Fund manager, who produces nothing and benefits no one is considered a higher type of person than someone like you or Wayne or a hundred other guys here who actually have skills that mean something in day to day existence. I have great admiration for the folks out of the old Soviet Union because they all faced really hard times and many times thrived just because they could take old junk and make really useful stuff out of it. The shit is hitting the fan in the world as we speak and those whose whole existence is wrapped around manipulating money or having money are going to discover how useless their lives actually are. You and the rest of us will do fine. Big thumbs up for doers, no use for manipulators.

Well; Mr Tone . . . . thanks for noticing the differences on the DOW.
These differences are not accidental, or luck.
Mostly in the beginning it was Chris Seanz and Wayne Keith setting personal examples.
Then some of us early-onās striving to set examples with ourselves.
Some of us had quit other forums in disgust. Others had actually been banned off other forums.
So the funny rules . . . . like no āspirtedā discussions. Presentations, yes. Suggestions and questions, yes. Donāt like what was presented - - - look away. Just Do not read that topic.

Thanks, I feel the same as the above posts. And I agree about the Sovjet. I had a business partner from Poland. Golden hands, fixes everything, started improvising. Why do you do that? It was this way in Poland, we had to every day. Still one of my best friends.
I am working and if not, my head is filled with woodgas. Still fighting the exhaust on the Yanmar. Almost woodgas.
Thanks, this feels like home.

I think this happens because Wayne set the precedent. He is a farmer and comes from early pioneers in the United States. I saw this kind of thing among farmers in Vermont when I was growing up, people who still eat their biggest meal of the day at noon and call it dinner, people who are usually trying to get more calories in their bodies not lessā¦ Hard work + careful creativity + faith = life. The old pioneer paradigm.

Creme fraiche. 3dl
Mayonnaise. A couple tablespoons
Red onion. 1 chopped fine

Marries very well to any protein on the grill.

I have it in my head this was raw potato slices boiled in milk till they allmost fall a part a bit with butter and maybe some kind of cheese, to form a mushy saucy kinda dish you preety much need a spoon to eat.
I tryed recreating it but never quite hit the taste from our great cooks at Argos
