Restoration of a 1906 single cylinder 6hp Rover, DL126, video 01

Many years before buying this car I got it on the go for the previous owner. At the time it was fairly original and it ran very well after minor repairs and adjustments. I drove it on a fifty mile trip without it using oil or present any other problems. When I bought it about 20 years later I was told that it had been recently renovated. I soon discovered that this 'renovation' had left it in a...

On the run shown on on video 2 we were keeping up to the 30 mph limit through the village, on the this run we managed to get up to 31! Original literature claimed a cruising speed of 24 mph, with engine revs of 950 rpm, but that the engine could be run up to 1250 rpm. They claimed fuel consumption was 40 miles per gallon. We regularly exceeded 50 mpg, a tank of fuel would do around 250 miles

The main engine is 93hp at 900 rpm, it has open clutch and flywheel and no sump guards. The drawbar horsepower is 80. This tractor was still being used for ploughing and mole ploughing up to 1997 ...

    • @davidbliss1721
      @davidbliss1721 2 года назад

      Its back on an original 1916 mag coil, had two re-wound one lasted 300 miles the other around 3,000 miles, always can tell if its a good one as it instantly burst's into life within one and half revolution .

      I was told back when that tractor was being built the working conditions were atrocious that were unimaginable and the price to the importers were just over a quarter of what they were sold here for here so no wonder they are so poorly made and agree I restored a heap of scrap metal.

    Never saw that tire trick, must be a plastic twine or rope as it really seemed to hold up. I like the video, I’ve heard of a mole but never saw one.

      We used baler twine to tie the tyres on

      The early D7 had a low rpm engine .. about 850 rpm was all they would do but the pistons are huge and have a long stroke so lots of torque

      @@pursang360 5x8 inch at 900RPM develops 93 BHP and 80 DBH, it was ok to let them idle at a slow idle not a fast idle or you cooled the heads down too quickly, and leave them many hours black treacly oil would start to run down the exhaust and could be a strip down to stop it.

    We used to use tires at road crossings. Wasn't uncommon to drive down the rural roads and see tires piles at the dirt crossways.

    I have, in my farm in Libya, a 1938(I believe) D4, that we still use. As our soil is tough red, it can only pull a 3 furrow Nardi plough. It takes about 30 minutes to finish 0.5 km. My father purchased 3 of them in late 50's and just this one is still running.

    • @davidbliss1721
      @davidbliss1721 10 лет назад

      The D4 is the version that seems to have survived in the largest numbers in the UK. It was the most commonly used version on farms in the UK from the 30s to the 50s, some were still being regularly used here 40 years ago. It is good to hear of one that is still in service, it shows how well made they were.

    I am pleased you like the video. I liked using the Catterpillar - good, simple engineering that worked well! All the controls were light making it easy to drive. I wish I had had a blade for it, my daughter would have had fun with that. I live in Norfolk, but have been to Harrogate -a lovely part of the country.

    Loved this video! I have two of the newer version of this tractor (1960) and very little has changed. They are very tough machines. They didn't scrimp on the steel & cast iron when these were built! Are you in the north of England by any chance? My late mother was from Harrogate. I'm a Yank here in the states. I have never seen that tire trick. Over here we use illegal aliens! You have to tie them on real tight though. (Kidding...) Great vid. Thanks for posting.
