A couple of shots today of the Steam Mule...

Below: The water tank, John Moore having welded on the rivet heads. This makes a marked improvement in the appearance of the tank, which is, after all, supposed to look old! The welded tank does ensure that it is watertight however!

Below: The fixed axle end, showing the cast brackets in place.

Below: An overall view, with the tank loosely placed and the pump resting on top of the tank bottom (!).

Below: Meanwhile, in David Young's workshop... The new crankshaft is tested in place, the connecting rod is fitted and the first coats of undercoat are applied.
