This is my most recent new toy, a gravely tractor with loader. I am very pleased with it as everything works and it is a strong tractor. Unfortunately the rear fender is missing and some has attacked the unit with red oxide. My plan is to restore it eventually and put some better tyres on the rear for traction. Here are a few pictures. Harry

Unusual fenders by the look of it. Look like a two gone job in either red/white or yellow/white depending on the model. i attach a photo of the fenders being raised!

Thanks Joseph, please spread the word Most of yesterday was spent filming this, that and the other but I did find time to start cleaning the rear axle/swing arm... Here's just a small amount of the 14 year old mud that was stuck between the diff and the diff guard! The mess that was the inside of the diff guard.. Me thinks it maybe past it's best! The bolts holding the diff guard in place were very chewed up and no sockets or spanners would shift them.... Sometimes ye olde tools work best though A few parts arrived yesterday... Two upper ball joints, one lower and new swing arm bearings... Struggling to find a second lower ball joint though!

I had planned to build a new workshop and as such I was not too concerned about my workshop space being used for storage. A new workshop is not on the cards for a while now and my current workshop is so full I can't actually do anything. As such I decided to build a temporary tractor store and have a complete move around, which hopefully will give me my workshop back and put everything in a logical place. It will take a while! This the new temporary store which is 20x9ish foot Today I emptied my workshop so I could get to the tractor stand at the back I then moved the tractors down and out before dismantling the stand The stand will be modified and reassembled in the new temporary store. With some of the tractors outside it gave the opportunity for a tractor line up (complete with my helpers) I started to run out of time so all the equipment got hurried back into the workshop. Tomorrows job try and get everything back in the workshop and start modifying the tractor stand. Time for a beer or two now If anyone is interested in the way this progresses I will update as things move on. Progress will be slow. Iain

That rear engine is giving me ideas.

From what I understand it is a Kwik way loader and I might be an 812 gravely

Good coverage Paul, well done to you boys. nice to get your name in print, again.

Great find Harry and it must be very rare. Iain

Very nice, Harry. And very useful.

Another great find Harry. Where the heck you find them I just don't know! What model is by the way?

Bought the latest Tractor and Machinery today, Peter Love gave the section a good write up...

I am going to give my friends a link to your YouTube channel today. Looking forward to the next video

Thanks Iain, the suspension arm did need the strengthening for peace of mind if nothing else. Ahh, the next vid.... It's going to be entertaining for sure, a lot of extra camera work and editing.. Thanks Joseph for me, tell him to continue spreading the word Thanks Richard, yeah the subs on MooTube are a laugh.. They can't get it quite right Well the lower arms have had the treatment and are now a lot stronger too..
