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
D7 Caterpillar ploughing, mole ploughing and going for a road run without cutting the road up
Просмотров 23 тыс.11 лет назад
This Caterpillar is one of the first versions of the D7/7M with hydraulically assisted steering cluches, a 1941 Agricultural Tractor, 24" tracks, side-starting single-speed pony start (donkey engine). 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 ...
Fascinating, you have wisdom, would love to spend time with you in your workshop. Thank you.
Doing well to keep that tractor going
Great info from videos, how do I get message to David Bliss for info on handbrake installation which seems far superior to footbrake operation
What kind ignition coil are you guys using?
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 .
Wots a snotch?
Crap made notch
That is a beautiful car.. Thank you for sharing this.
Great idea with the tyres
Norfolk boy
cool project👍
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
A fiend said the little fury beggars people don't realise go down 20ft with polished burrows and travel miles in seconds, never seen any but they do suddenly disappear so maybe its true.
What a great running ,great looking car very nice restoration.
I hate hearin the. Engines on idle while moveing .does mor harm than good
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
Maybe i am use to the newer 17 A series that ran at1200 rpm
@@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.
I have seen cases were lugging diesle lift cylinder liners and cause more damage than rinning on the governer
I loved this video. You have a wonderful car.
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.
What a nice video, the whole family enjoying old machinery. Neat idea on the tyres, don't think I would get away with it on my D4 around here LOL
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.
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.
...my father-in-law was a Cat skinner...wish he was still around to see your tire trick...it would have made his day...
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.
I do know your car, it is Australian bodied. As you like the video, you might like to look at 1906rover.co.uk
Nice video and a nice car, We are the owners of the Rover 6 HP, from 1905, The Roverlady 69PE. Friendly wishes Martin and Gundula from Heidelberg in Germany
