Nice work! Sounds more like a big bore bike 👍. Time for education- what’s the Majesty? I’ve seen it w/the European TY’s . Thanks

I spent three years on a Ward 3,,,all on piecework....General engineering components for torpedoes, aircraft, hydraulic pumps and valves, cigarette packing machines, nuclear reactors etc ect. We worked bell to belll, no hanging about.

Always liked the WARD lathes , as an electrician I must have moved a few in my time , I’m picking my own 2A up this weekend , no room but for a WARD we,ll have to move a motorcycle or two out.🎉

You are going to hurt yourself if you don’t change the way you split. They are sweet axes though.

Been splitting wood for almost 30 years without a scratch, think I'll survive 😊

I don’t want to be “that guy”, but you are a slip/wood knot (of which you have no control over) from a serious accident. Move the non-swinging hand out of the way or use another piece of wood as an extension. Everyone thinks it wont be them. The chainsawed my calf open by skipping safety. Happy chopping!

Thanks for the concern but I've been splitting wood for almost 30 years without a scratch. Im quite comfortable with being able to swing an axe accurately all day, if other people aren't that's cool but if you're going to start using a chicken stick you'd be quicker to just fire up the splitter. I also hit a knot in the 2nd block 😊

@josephfaraci7849 8 ай бұрын

Very nice video and very clearly explained instructions The only thing I need to ask you about is you do not pre-oil the filter I heard that being done I never seen that being done but it would make sense to do so other than that the video really is going to help me do my oil change so I do not have to spend $100 plus for somebody else to do the oil change

That is a Ward lathe, I have the same machine but never have gotten around to using it. Started a job as a CAM programmer for CNC machines and I must admit, as nice as these vintage machines are, there is very little need for them anymore. The precision and speed of CNC are really unmatched.

Lovely machine Owen, I’m hoping to purchase a 2A sometime this year. Got a couple of them for sale where I live in Brisbane, Australia. Out of curiosity, how much do you think the 2A weighs?. I’m hoping a forklift will be enough to load and unload it from a car trailer. The 2A is only slightly smaller than the 3A, I believe.

@johnhughes3796 10 ай бұрын

Might be an idea to let the engine run for a while after refilling to let the oil circulate fully and recheck the level before riding.

My dad bought Ballerina BII 149 after the Earls Court Boat Show in the late 60's from Boat builders in Penryn. We would trail it down to Falmouth behind a three-speed Bedford 1500cc van. Got stuck one year on the A303 half-way up the hill outside Chicklade - took three days ti fit the new clutch. Low headroom (4' 3" if I remember rightly) and a squeeze for Mum. Dad, Grandad, four kids and a dog but wonderful memories, Thanks for rekindling them.

Thanks for the comment! Currently running a 3d printed Airbox that's 1.7 litres with a techno 250 filter. Is there a calculation for working out the optimum volume? I've a few tweaks to do but I think il be hard pushed to get 2 litres fitted in there!

@humourless682 Жыл бұрын

@@owensengineering286 To fit a big airbox, you need to cut away the mudguard and oil tank mounting brackets, the back of the airbox forms the lower part of the mudguard. A VForce reed block, reed spacer, and port changes, as well as a big airbox, transforms a 175.

@owensengineering286 Жыл бұрын

Ah makes sense. Mine is a Godden framed 200 so don't want to be cutting it, I'll fit what I can into the current space. Currently running a RD350 inlet rubber with a 26mm flatslide and boysen reeds. Definitely makes a big difference. Currently looking out for a spare top end to play around with some porting. Reed spacer is interesting, I had planned to make a boost bottle, a few guys I know swear the boost bottle smoothed out the bottom end and removed the little dead spot before the 175 engine picks up. I guess the reed spacer may do the same job!

@humourless682 Жыл бұрын

@@owensengineering286 Do you know much about 2T porting, and have you got the tools needed to do it? The DT100 reed block fitted to TY175 is very restrictive, and if you can open the intake duct, can be replaced with an RD250/350 block. Most TY175 running issues are due to the very restrictive intake systems fitted. With a large volume airbox, and proper porting changes they can be transformed.

@humourless682 Жыл бұрын

@@owensengineering286 Bigger airbox helps to provide a wider power band. Airbox that is around 3 litres, VForce reed block, reed spacer, 26mm carb, and short front pipe, will improve it a great deal.

Out of all the motorcycles I’ve owned that is the worst. I gave $500.00 and it looked new . I rode it a few days and sold it for $300.00 ! Slowest, and uncomfortable vibration unbelievable just wrong everyone that bought one should have gotten their money back. I like Yamaha but tat was a mistake. They are reliable but it ends there. Good luck !
