is the pressure relieve set right?

Once again, while helping to sort and clear rubbish from John's shed, the showman decided to take a break and have a nosey outside before it got too dark. As the vegetation was dying off Chris's eagle eye's, helped by his bloodhound nose, spotted something green buried in the now not so green greenery at the side of one of the previously explored caravans. A short while later, aided by a pair of clippers and some huffing and puffing, three hefty lumps of green metal appeared and were loosely assembled and photo's taken. Looks complete apart from the clamps / U bolts which hold it together and possibly one tine. Didn't measure it but the wheels are approx 7 to 8" diameter. Any idea of the make anyone before offering for sale. Also found weeks ago but only just photographed is this axle unit. Again, make unknown. And finally, although not tractor or machinery related, a pair of john's Marina Estates. Both 1800cc the green one an automatic. Not new finds as we knew they were there. Just needed extracting from the junk piled around them. Both got running fairly quickly by Chris after about 10 years standing idle. Not very easy to get decent photo's. Too cramped and lots of reflections. Need to get them outside. Chris also got a Marina van running and is itching to complete the task with the remaining two estates plus one saloon. Thanks again Chris.

Been waiting for a letter from Stormin but I guess he must have sent it second class pidgin

Booked my usual cottage for the week today, so will pop into the showground on Friday evening for a cupper with you guys

Wired things up today. Switch goes straight to the battery for now. It will be wired via the ignition switch eventually and fused. Filling the pump with hydraulic oil took some time. Due to where the pump is, the breather/filler is only accessible with an oil can. Finally test time. Much to my delight the hitch went up and down a treat. So on with the plough. Wouldn't lift it. After a bit of thinking, I decided to reposition the ram to fulcrum. Below is where it was. As you can see, not much leverage. So, finding a bit of flat bar I bolted it to the arm, so it was extended. Ram fitted in after much fiddling. Plough back on and not holding out much hope, I tried again with baited breath. Can't seem to get the short video on here, so I'll put it in the video section. Just remembered. I have to go via U tube. https://youtu.be/YrjilSgSi3o 

Not big enough, Paul.
