C4 has felt neglected lately and last weekend I decided to test its limits. It did pretty well, I think the limit is my own survival instinct

Hmmm Someone better watch what they say.... Be a shame if I run out of mig wire, gas patience... I'm sure it will look good in yellow

One dodgy meeting the motorway services with a scouser And voila, new wheel and tyre

Lovely kit! Nice Muir hill in the background too

Picked up no.1 son from work earlier. Pulled off th main road onto a normally good bit of road and BANG! Hit one hell of a hole in the road Tyre is knackered, drove 6 miles up home, there's no spare in my car Wheel might be recoverable

Be ready for those stickers soon

Hey Stephan, welcome to mom, someone will no doubt sort you out!

looking good chaps

jeez, there's a lot going on in there!!!!!

Here's a small video of powered sledging.

A few more, haven't had the cars out but tractors and quad have had a good workout Powered sledging is the way to go

Here's a few from our ride into the village

To busy sledging to plough here

Could've been worse, happy hunting

After last nights episode trying to improve bendys transmission, I ended up resorting to swapping back to belts. I'd also noticed that as well as sluggish starting, it occasionally made a horrible grind So it was out with the engine, the starter is mounted low down on this k341 and you have to lift the engine out... And here's why I had to play with, the starter is a 10 tooth one, with only 7.5 teeth... the other is a high mount, and the other from the infamous acorn harvester at Ian's/Nigel's Fortunately it's a low mounter too, and the teeth are good. A few minutes later and voila, starts a million times better Frozen fingers sent me inside for the night. I was up first thing to defrost the car and thought I'd have a quick test drive. It's pretty cruel outside, kitchen isn't too warm either Bendy started first time, here's a few pics in the frost. I need more grip, might be digging the chains out... Didn't get stuck this time either

It's mainly water causing me pain and snow. I can't seal them in

That was on of my earlier plans, but they are not as tolerant to twist as v belts, plus once clogged up they ride over too. Will perservere a little longer

Plan a was belts, they've worked for over a year, but are less effective under water

Could be a plan!

Well first phase of the new year hasn't gone well. Here's the original setup Then the new one A short test drive ended like this So for now, back to plan a

All that effort and its full already

Just turn up! I think the ransomes would be more fun tho....

Glad you got further out of the shop than I did!

Looking good, soon be full test drive time!
