Pulled this in the workshop today for recommissioning will also be putting 4 new tyres on it, now this is a proper tractor with rear hydrolics and Pto

Tried brazing and to start with it went well but then loads of contamination came out of the cast and I had to give up. As the manifold would be scrap i thought I would try mig welding it instead, to my surprise it worked well and manifold is now repaired and sealed ready for fitting. Normally cast iron cracks when you weld it but I think a combination of very thin cast, short bursts of welding and lots of patience finally paid off. I will hold back until I actually refit it in the morning and see what happens when it is hot but fingers crossed.

They're few and far between and seldom seen round here. Unless there's an RTC. Then they come from far and wide..

Done a bit more on it ,not looking to bad so far, I really don't want to over do this one just want to put it back in good tidy working order just waiting for the fenders to turn up from Neil and the belt gard
