Too frightened I expect.

Looks brilliant Norm. The boss must be pleased. An extra helping of brownie points. I'd forgotten about that rake.

Norm. Wait until you get home from Newby hall then tell Carol you won it in a raffle. Problem solved.

And what does the BOSS have to say about this. ?

Had quite a few hydraulic pump drive shafts and other components metal sprayed in a previous job with mixed results. Sprayed then ground back to size. The main problem we found was that it chipped easily, especially if only a thin layer was applied. Would it be easier and cheaper to make a new axle. ?

Very quick progress Darren. Looks brilliant.

Forgot that.

A new tire would be a start.

This was last seen about 7 years ago before the undergrowth spread out and buried it at John's place. Even though I had a rough idea where it was it remained in hiding until yesterday when Chris came close to running into it while making a track with the digger. Both wheels still revolved and the central drive shaft could be turned easily using fingers only. One wheel rim good, the other badly rusted. As can be seen, not much of the machine left, but if any use to anyone let me know asap as it will be moved to a new home in the scrap metal skip next Tuesday.

Happy Birthday young man.

GOODY. Another result. Well Darren, you have two options. I can pack and post to you, or better still if you pop down again Chris and I will make sure your car makes the return journey fully loaded.

Hi, Darren. Depending on size, I have similar blades rescued from John's. Not perfect due to storage. 75 x 75mm. 5mm c/sunk mounting holes at 50mm C/L. 32 in total.

Who's Steptoe and who's Harold? I didn't have my best face on today Norm. And Chris made me drive a red thing.

What else is there to do when you retire Iain. Keep the beer, I mean updates, flowing. We need to know if Joseph is taking any notice of you.

I stand corrected and should have known.

Happy New Year to all on M.O.M and the other place. Alan.

Looks good Iain. Shame Joseph won't let you drive it though.

Happy Birthday Darren. Have a good one. Or what's left of the day.

So I see.

The tree would look better decorated with tractor bits and piece's.

Happy Christmas one and all. Pig out, get tiddly and look forward to getting back into the workshop.

Looks good Andrew. Nice and simple, not like the "Too many bits to go wrong" stuff these days. I had a Viva HC years ago and FB Victors before that. Still a Victor engine in John's barn.

I've got 1/2 of one Norm. Anyway, what would Carol say. ?

Brilliant video Ian. Unusual to see Nigel moving so fast. Is that a first. ? If he gets annoying in his mini form, one of those electric fly zappers will soon calm him down.

Happy Birthday Steve. Have fun.
