I thought it was only Trojans that flew like that !!!

Had run over to an old friend who is a bit of a Ransom addict. Well more than a bit. 11 at the last count and a goodly collection of various implements. Unfortunately they were all tucked away. But a few photo's for you. He's had a look at MoM, so hopefully he will come along and tell us about them.

Good news! Bolted the exhaust etc back on today & filled the rear end up with fresh ATF & new filter Got fuel up to the pump & with a few cranks, away she went. With a few carb ajustments it seems to run OK Will refit the fender & seat etc tomorrow & take it for a test drive. Cant wait

lol no neil, my neibour has a telehandler forklift. hes one of these blokes that if you need a machine for something then he is very likely to have it you never know paul there may be a bit of trojan blue underneath all that green

That looks like alot of fun Nigel! Looks like your son was way out in front. Matt

Hello all. I haven't been around for awhile now, because I had to go out of town for a week, and then it took me over a week to get caught back up with work. Everything is now back to normal, and I was able to get back to work on my 444. I got the new travel control with built in holding valve installed. ( see pics in my previous post). I also installed a FCV (flow control valve) on it. I had to make a couple brackets to keep the hoses from rubbing on things, and a heat shield for the exhaust, to protect the bypass hose from the heat, but overall it was a very straight forward installation. I had to cut a section of the footrest out for hose clearance too. I can't believe what a difference these modifications made to my 444. I can now set a good, slow, powerful ground speed when tilling, which makes it so much more enjoyable. I've already had it tilling, and it works great! I'll try, and get another video up soon. Thanks Matt
