I just looked and it appears to be available over here. We will keep it in mind when we are going to paint something. Thanks

@@GardenTractorBoy As well as removing rust OSPHO leaves a sacrificial layer similar to a varnish that puts a barrier between metal and primer/finish coats. I am not getting any notifications when you or any other of my subscriptions uploads a video and I am not getting notifications when someone comments on my videos, grrrrrr

@@oologahgardentractorandcha3055 We have used a product called Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80 which sounds similar. This was recommended to us by someone that restores cars. I can't believe how unreliable some of these online platforms are and they get away with providing a poor service because you have no way to get through to anyone to flag the problems. No helpful

Thanks. We were surprised how easily the seat bracket straightened. I am sure you are right, the press would make a good but slow splitter. We are still struggling to find something we can apply to the seat to protect the paint that will not rub off. Take care

You are spot on, that does make for a good day. Straightening the seat bracket seemed almost too easy but we are not complaining :-) Take care

Thanks 👍 It is surprising how more complete it does look with the seat and fenders fitted. Take care

Thanks 👍 It was very odd, straightening the seat bracket was almost too easy and the foot peg the opposite. It does look a lot more complete with a seat fitted. Take care

Thanks 👍 It looks a lot more complete with the seat and fenders fitted. Take care

To remove you hacksaw it off flush and drill it out. I insert a new head you need to make a tool and the details are on the Thor website under the Resources/downloads drop down. The URL may not display if KZbin removes it, otherwise it is here www.thorhammer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/combined-replacing-faces-and-opening-and-closing-tool.pdf I hope this helps

Thanks. You are right, it really is taking shape now. Thanks for following along, take care

Thanks. We were pleased how well the seat support turned out and something we would be happy to do now on any of our other Ride-a-matics. Take care

Thanks. We were surprised how well that worked out in the press. It is great to see it starting to look like a tractor again and also good to have these large parts installed rather than stored. Take care

Hello Ben and thanks. The press is a great tool to have. It is only a cheap overseas tool but I am not sure how we could function without it now. Take care

Thanks. We are pleased with how it turned out. Take care

Thanks you. It has started to turn cold over here. Take care and I hope you have a great week

Thanks. The press worked our much better than we expected on the seat. The magnet digital angle meter is only a cheap one but it is a great tool to have. We have even used it on our milling machine but don't tell the professional machinists :-) Here is a link to a similar one which should help you locate one amzn.to/403fRDy Take care

Thanks. I think you are spot on, that is exactly what tends to happen to us. Take care and I hope you have a great week

Thank you for following along. Take care

Thanks Jan. It is starting to look a lot more complete now. Take care

We have done this to the front wheel of one of our projects which hopefully we will talk about in next week's video. For this tractor we want to bring out the original paint but we have been talking about doing as you suggest to a tractor soon. Take care

Thanks. We are looking forward to the first test drive. Take care

Thank you for the kind words. You are right, it does look like a tractor again now. Take care

Thanks. We were nervous about using the press on the spring but it worked out very well. It is starting to really look like a tractor again now. Take care

Thanks. With the seat on it is starting to look like a tractor again. Take care

Thanks for you support Gary. The cameraman says hi back. Take care

Very true, I am not sure how we would could do without one now. They are a great tool to have. Take care

Thanks. I am not sure how we ever managed without our press. I like your new project. Take care

Hi Gary, I hope everything is good with you. Take care

Thanks. It is looking good now. Take care

Thank you. You are right, it really does now look like a tractor again. Take care and I hope you have a great week

Thanks 👍 It is a great tool to have in the workshop and it was not expensive as it was an overseas purchase. Take care

LOL. We were surprised how well the straightened out. Take care

We are always impressed by the quality of the materials they built these with. Take care

Thanks 👍 This was a good step forward and it is starting to look like a tractor again. Take care

Thanks 👍 After we did this work we found out that Bolens inserted bushings from the factory on the 1961 model and they used identical bushing to the ones we used. Yes, those rear tyres are cool. Take care

Thanks 👍 The tyre charger is fantastic I am not sure how we could live without it now. Take care

Thanks 👍To be honest, I think I learn more from your videos. Take care

Thanks 👍 It is taking a lot time but hopefully worth it. Take care

Thank you very much. Take care

Thank you foe the kind words 👍 Take care

Thank you very much. Take care

Thanks. It feels great to use the lift, it is surprising how much difference it makes cleaning everything up and adding oil. Take care

Thanks. I guess if we replaced every bolt with new ones it would look ok. We are pleased with progress. Thanks for following along and I hope you are feeling better, take care

Thanks. Dad is still practicing holding the camera still and helping with the other hand :-) Take care

Thanks Tony. It is good to be making progress with the tractor. Take care

Thanks. It is starting to look like a tractor again now. Take care

It is good to see them every year

I think you are right, these were built to last. We hope it will last for another 60 years after the rebuild. Take care

The RAF do a lot of training over us, they also do air to air refuelling just off the coast. Thanks for follwoing along, this is starting to look like a tractor again now. Take care

Thanks. The float works very well with a plough on the tractor. Take care

Thanks Ben. It is coming together well now and I am pleased that you are enjoying following along. Take care and I hope you have a great week too

The bolt is threaded into the lift lever and the tension on that bolt determines how easy it swivels. We did only put it on until it started to touch. . The nut on the back acts as a lock nut. Take care
