went to get in the landy on friday and...

some 12ft lengths of 6x2 that have been stood up for 2 years decided they didn't like it anymore...

not looking forward to the mess this winds leave!

bit late to the party, happy Birthday - did you eat all that cake?

flipping bonkers you two!!!!

What are the boxes? And do they have hubs?

I did wave, but no chance of you knowing it was me. 

Minding my own business, ignore the speedo. It reads over

seen this dodgy geezer moving horses, hope no one on here is missing any....

was down your way last night Richard, shame you weren't around. 

btw liking the distinguished look - you'd fit in well at a meeting of old machinery enthusiasts

weather not brilliant, so not many pics...

I caved in and thought I'd put a finishing spray coat over the Deck Shell to lose some of the brush marks in the paint. Ordered Custom filled Aerosols from the same place as the Tin of Enamel and same RAL Colour number with the anticipation it would be a pretty close match . 1 can was packed already damaged and not in transit-

Yes, they ship them with the Nozzles fitted as well !!!. Delivered to me on the 20th at 1400 intact with no external damage.

The attempt to make it look like damage in transit failed, as they forgot to include the missing bits of the Cap, the paint was solid and no paint or fumes inside the packaging...... Oh, and their response was 'They can guarantee it was not packed like that' .

With a difference of 10 grammes between the Cans as well, I find the colour match is miles out on the Trial ass'y-

.....So I have had to repaint the Brackets and to do the rest of the Carrier Frame as well .

Decals are on order, as is the Spindle Drive Belt.

 

Looking good Richard, shame about the paint

decals were posted this this morning I believe, hope they arrive swiftly... got the main man running the decals site now!

looks fab - well done.

yes where did the hood ornament come from?  is it a Glenn Petit one?

That's a sweet restore! Well done

Happy birthday smiler!

Thanks chaps, I did indeed have a good birthday. Drove to Glastonbury yesterday, then had a few beers and down to the Padstow vintage rally for the day.

now all set for a weeks holiday

Happy Birthday Chris!!! 

Great tractor, how big are those cleats on the tyres!

from the ones I've split they are around 1/4" - but more likely 5/16" (just under 8mm)

looks fab!

The most common problem is incorrect positioning of one of the bushes with locating " nibs" not sitting in theit cut outs in the casings. 

got the t shirt there

Good pics!  Missing a few....

sweet!

with Sky   and they have UK call centres... if you are a sky subscriber broadband and phone calls are free too. Problem for all providers it that BT openreach own the copper wires, so everyone jumps through hoops with line faults. Even BT themselves!!!!

I know no one likes sky, but if you are interested in subscribing I can get half price deals...  

I don't think you have to be there for 9am spot on, it's a relaxed affair

We are almost two years into our current house and loving the yorkshire dales. We live fairly off grid, only mains electric and rudimentary telephony.

I finally added a water filter to our supply the other month.

and changed the filter after 3 weeks!!!

we've been drinking this stuff   god only knows what it does to the insides of pipes, etc.

All has been well for a for weeks until we noticed a very wet spot outside, and the ground is cracked all around.

Cue, starts looking for unknown pipe...

found it!

after lots of bailing water, we find an old 1-1/14" compression joint that has corroded away.

it was late saturday afternoon, so we had no choice but to borrow a fitting from the sheep feeder up the lane - sorry sheep!

Another maintenance job complete

Some of you may know I work a long way from home, and play the part of call centre for many family tech issues, as well as remote bicycle repair man and occasional mower won't start...

Last weeks call was...  'dad, do you think this is fixable?'    the part in question being a 1970 lawn ranger tow hitch. I'll let you guess my reply

Apparently the trailer rolled with 400lbs of dirt in...

good luck with the sale - whats the plan for the pennies?  whats the next project?
