We've had a fair bit of rain this last week, last night we caught the back end of abigail. I was up at 1am this morning screwing sheets across doorways and mopping up water from the window sills. Our new house seems to leak like a sieve
Here's a few from the day
Both lanes in the bottom are flooded too, my little Citroen will not get me through to work tomorrow....
Pics slow to copy and download, Internet is barely that around here...

You will have to take it apart, you might get away with just taking the selector housing off without splitting it.

Norm is referring to the main differential carrier bearings. They are obsolete and used in all unidrive geared or hydro, though the D series and GT series use a much larger Torrington bearing instead. Everything else is different though, esp the casings
-
Wow, quite a conversation....
Th uni-drive patent refers to the combined 3 speed transmission and reverse. I've not heard of the autos being referred to as unidrive, but equally wouldn't be surprised if they all fell under the same name... Think Hoover!
Personally I would go for an 8 speed, less prone to failure and easier to pull apart. You can rebuild one in a weekend with a few bearings and seals. A hydro can be a pita, and they take some knowledge and patience, a few of us have pulled them apart.
Agree with Alain though a good hydro is great, however a weak hydro is not. They can leak, groan, lose power when warm...

Still nice and firm there, just mud where we are now

Welcome to the group, does it run?
-
A slow and wet weekend up North, lots of work - but doesn't result in enough progress
then the rain really set in and we were flooded out - most of the new stuff in the adjacent bay was under water
yesterday was just as wet!

The electric guitar spoof was hilarious!

That's a tidy restore Nigel

Looks like I'm ordering new plugs - probably need them anyway

Had three more days on the workshop, lots of action, not enough pics though... Planing the rough sawn timber for the doors A misty start to the day on Saturday Cutting the mortises Gluing the first door frame, trailer makes a good work bench. A fine start to the day yesterday First door hung, second door glued up, still the panels to nail in!

I'm with Norm, bottle cleaner
-
-
most old tractors don't show on the DVLA, I've had difficulty tracking a lot of old stuff we used to have
-
-
Almost... It's not been as quick as I hoped... It's cold now Chris, as Norm says yes it will be insulated Hopefully not!
-
Got another wall plastered and some more sockets and lights in on Friday night.
Next jobs are the big front doors and some insulation in the roof, the weather has turned and it's pretty cold and misty most days on the edge of the moors.
