Going over the new to me RN I sorted a couple of issues, loose Tie Rod, one rear axle hub needed a tighten and the a closer look at the engine which runs quite well apart from a too fast idle. Checked the Block to Crankase nuts, all nice and tight in the tappet gallery BUT the RH side all needed a tighten, and then the fun bit, the front one. OK remove the generator, not hard! still could not get a bite at that nut, sacrifed a spanner and ground it down, still no go, the gene mount has to come off, can't get to the nut behind the Camshaft Pulley, so drain the radiator, off with it, off with the gene mount and now I can get it off so to tighten that front Nut. Because of Covid no spares for gaskets and because of our 5KM limit no gasket paper. Hopefull my home made gaskets out of photo paper will fill the bill.
