      Unless you consider shoving aToyota Celina power train into a Cooper Mini as a "restoration?" Then that one has been running for about seven years.

    Well done you, I know what's its like after spending years rebuilding an old 1943 Oliver tractor that came over here on the lend lease scheme WW2. It gives you a great sense of satisfaction. The thing that you have over all the rest of us is that you have a video record of everything you did to it, I just have still pictures. It is great when someone comes up at a show and says that's a nice piece of machinery,what did you do to it to get it to run. That's when the wife sighs and walks away. Thanks for taking us on the journey.

    Well Done Keith. You are entitled to feel very proud and excited with your accomplishment of bringing a worn out, scrapped out machine back to good working order. You possess a skill set that is very rare and we are fortunate that you are prepared to share the highs and lows of the work that you do. I have an idea that once that machine is running and doing some real work, it will be quite mesmerising to watch as it takes itself forwards and backwards.

    I love it when you say "in the short rows now" when you get near the finish of a big project. One does not hear that expression often in the modern world, and I suppose it's mostly old farmers and field workers who have any real idea what it means.
    Great project, and I'm sure we're all smiling for and with you to see this old beauty back in motion.

    So kooool Kool. Im excited to see her moving , I remember when you first showed it. After watching all the videos to get her this far is an amazing feat. I love the old planers and have a federal im still hoping to get my body to allow me to do the best I can restoring it. I ran n set up an open sided planer during my apprenticeship in the 70s.
    So finding mine about 5yrs ago I jumped on it. Then while cleaning and trying to get my shop set up my spine went. So im very happy for you. The stop lifting the table shows its not hitting the shift correctly you'll have that fixed in an hour.
