thanks Richard, and so is your Universal, you are well under way too. Lets hope the T16 runs ok, this is rather a public way of failing. if indeed I have done something wrong! Will try to do a video of the first start!

No such word as failure...just early attempts at success.... if mine blows up...so be it
 how come you did'nt paint the heads ? just wondering as i have painted mine (if it has any effect with heat etc i will strip the paint back off)

really nice job you're doing there but there's a problem with you're restoration techniques, it looks too good. can you put a bit more gaffer tape and bodged up fittings on the next pics so i don't feel left out

Ha, indeed I agree with you on Davids T16, ,what a result and an inspiration for me. In fact, he has helped enormously with information and guidance.
I would liek to say there is a special reason for not painting the heads.......but there isnt. I just ran out of time, and wanted to make use of a farmers loader this weekend. I will paint them once its all in ok. thanks for the comments as always, much appreciated.
