Now that Bendy is fully hydraulicised it was time to get test the plough. Yup, it works....

As this topic is going off... I decided to let Finn take C4 out for a play this afternoon...

Hi all Some more fun for the year 2016 rather strawy but fun just the same Hope you like

Only kidding Here's the second go, needs setting up and a better driver See what I mean

Hi all had a quick play tonight with the Turf track with the new front mounted snow plow built by Dibna! Here's a quick video

Made it home last night just before we got a good fall of snow here in the dales. As usual me and the kids were up and out first thing

Sounds like I'm going to have to dream up some decals soon...

All that time spent building it, now it's broken already. Some people never look after anything.

How an they, there's no pink fluffy dice in sight Don't be afraid Andrew, I did ask indeed. Thanks Norm. Thanks James. I agree, it looks meaner without. Don't be sorry Koen, I'm not sure about the hot wheels thing but I do think WN looks better without the lights.. Thanks for all you input guy's, just what I was after.. I think the lights will be staying off, I like the mean look me

Modern technology.

In a rare departure, C4 was out this afternoon for some duties in the top field. Firstly pulling out some old fencing buried in the ground, and then moving a a few logs...as well as providing a little light to see.

It was nothing to do with me, Nigel did it while my back was turned I'm thinking maybe in the style of the early Commando decals.. Although WN is kinda a Raider I don't think any of the Raider decals would suit the mean hot rod look..

I bet a few curtains were twitching as you drove the turf track down the road The plow looks like it works well

There may be space but only just, it's a bit tight to say the least! Maybe rather than lights a pair of glowing evil eyes Thursday was spent taking WN apart.. A big thank you to Nigel for all you help, it certainly made the job a lot easier As the forklift is too tall to fit in my workshop, the bench (it was on a trolley which is now under the engine) went to the forklift.. Up goes the engine.. With the bench out the way.. The engine was lowered onto the trolley. The naked chassis... And a few of the parts which need cleaning and painting.. Speaking of paint, does anyone know which "Car colour" is closest to WH red?

I assume there is not room to put lights in the normal position Ian ??

Rotovators... Iseki, MultiGardner, Versatiller, Norlett and Landmaster ok Kev ??

Cool I like the snow plough.

They already Do

Wishing your son the best in the Challenge, it will be a life changing experience and be an honour to him and his family. Best of Luck, Alain BTW, your message storage is full or it's disabled it, lol

I know you guys have some good stuff over there too. I drool over some of the older walk behind tractors and cutters. We never see stuff like that.

The local council will be hireing you soon James

Been a bit slow, busy at work and not very motivated. Bit the bullet today Ewan did a quick video, thanks again to Doug (Ranger) for his assistance. I got there in the end!

I have a few, lol, but many are on the back and front of tractors

It's the other way round Alan that's why its the sheep that tremble up North

We better make a cider press then

Where men are men and sheep tremble.

Alfresco brekkie cant beat it..Save me some.

I'd leave them off, looks a bit like the hotwheels car nobody wanted, sorry

It makes it look like Noddy's car how many wheel horses had lights like that. I suppose if its painted yellow and red it would look OK . it looks meaner with out them

Look good to me Ian

Never mind those two. Look ok to me Ian.

Toy Town I am afraid Iain. Well you did ask!

They look poofy

Did a few more hours in the top field. The GT14 even came out to play, though it only just made it up the hill. It's still really only 4x4 territory. Me and the kids did breakfast outdoors too

Bought this 50 inch tiller for 200.00, the guy said it was for a D series and I believe it is, seemed to be in good shape. I also bought a Case/Ingersoll 44 inch trip/dozer blade with the lift bar and mounting plate, a 3 point Brinly spring tooth cultivator, and a nice old spike harrow all for 150.00

Hello Steve, I have just joined the register,and scrolled to your page of 2014,showing the Vivian Loyd motor sickle, I have bought one in about the same condition of the photo,identical in every detail ,except it is called a "Four Seasons " Scrub Cutter, by " TETTS " of Faversham,Sittingborn,and Sandwich, Yours is probably all restored by now, and I wonder if I could ask you for some tech help and general information,for restoring mine, ? Regards, Pist/on Rust,

Short on updates, but decided I needed a proper brew area in the workshop. I recycled two very nice pieces of solid oak and beech worktop for a kitchen area. Bought a hot water heater too, so I no longer need to wash in the stream

Trailer is an agrifab one Andrew, badged under a lot of different names. Just for you Norm, the kids did take a few pics pulling out the buried fencing.

A few more bits done over the weekend and yesterday. Finally started work on the other side of the chassis which was in a worse condition than the other side, we replaced the side in three sections so that the chassis didn't twist. Just before welding in the last piece. Finally finished all of the repairs on the chassis, it just needs its final coats of primer and then I can start on the yellow paint With thanks to my grandad the tyres have been taken off the rear wheels so I can start cleaning them up. Some more bits sandblasted

Slow progress, what with Xmas and all that. We got distracted with the centre support column and decided it would make a good drill stand/bench grinder stand/ power point.

Some of you know I've been looking to move for over a year, I finally made it last Friday. So now we are out in the countryside just a few miles from Malham. Scenery fantastic, modern conveniences lacking... We are on bottled water, no mobile, Internet or phone line. And get hot water from a tap if I leave the heating on full! Huge plus side, no neighbours, lots of countryside, land and areas to play We've been busy pla...tidying for the last few days. Here's a few pics, I know some of you like them there's videos too, but currently on free wifi and dont have time.

After a good turnout at Newby Hall we have been rewarded with a good article on the UK wheel horse round up in this months T&M. A good set of pictures and we have our names in print
