Here is todays progress on the auto culto I have stripped the yellow paint of the albion gear box just to check oil level. Also started to remove paint from villers engine. also started removing paint from tractor gear box. Started to strip down the strakes.

Ah, you noticed one of the outstanding jobs . A previous owner fitted a TR13 tube and the wheel is designed for a TR15 tube. The inevitable has happened and the valve has disappeared into the wheel. It goes against my religion to put a sharp instrument through a good tube in order to get the tyre off so I have been waiting a couple of years for it to slowly deflate, then I can get the tyre off without damaging the tube. We are planning a tyre day soon which will see new tubes for the rear tyres and the tri-ribs installed on the front. The existing rear tubes and front tyres will be fitted to another tractor. Iain

Norm. Wait until you get home from Newby hall then tell Carol you won it in a raffle. Problem solved.

From out of the mouths of babes.
