Nearly to late. Happy Birthday, Paul.

I doubt we'll get much down here on the plain, Jonathan. I think you get our share up there, on the edge of the fells.

That's what I'm thinking. Some old bikes up at the farm.

I was thinking of going down with the HVC club on the Saturday. That was until I realised a date clash. Marshalling on the VSCC trial in the Lakes.

One thing the plough/dozer blade is missing, is the handle and linkage to pivot the blade, left, right and centre. So the handle I made has been gathering dust on a shelf. Yesterday I fitted it then had a scrat about for parts for the linkage. The results are in the following photos. That section works. Now to find or make a lever to operate the fulcrum, to pull the chain, to operate the locating pin.

I have a smaller version. Handy things to have. But damp air can be a problem up here. If the air is not dry, the nozzle can block easily. I also really need a bigger compressor but as I don't use it much I'll not other. A neighbour has a bigger one on wheels if needed.

Newark Vintage Tractor Show. 9th - 10th November.

Nice job!

Happy Birthday to you and Jake, Ewan. Have a good day.

That's the best. Keeps your hands soft and smooth. Gets the grease and oil off as well. Just make sure you wipe the bottle before you put it back.

I could hear you load and clear there, Joseph. I couldn't really tell on the video, so I've a little tip for you. When fitting tyres, smear some of your mothers washing up liquid round the tyre edge. Helps the tyre slide on and seat properly on the wheel. Just don't tell Mum and Dad I told you.

All the Best, Alain. Hope your having a good day.

All the Best, Iain. Enjoy the day.

That'll keep you busy for a while, Joseph. Just a point with your video's. Can you keep nearer to the mic'? I find it a tad hard to hear what your saying. Going deaf/deafer in my advancing years.

Good to see your brains still working OK. I should think the motor should work ok. It's got two choices. It should or it won't.

My mate and I picked up a rather sorry looking C-125 today. I forgot to take my camera with me, so no photo's. I'll take it when I go over to his place to try and sort it out. First job will to get it running. Spins over with ease but getting no spark at the plug. It's certainly no show girl. But it's for towing a trailer in the woods of the property that's just been bought. So an out and out worker. Paintwork is pretty rough, but tin ware is straight. Plastic type fender is broken at the back and seat is badly worn/torn. Steering wheel wobbles and that may be because the split dowel is not all the way through. One end is sticking out. Battery needs a clamp and one of the rubber hood catches is missing the hook. It will get a set of ags on the back, as the woods are quite steep. I'll update as things progress.

Welcome to MoM, Tony. Look in the O&R section. There's one in there.

I still miss mine at times. The Disco just doesn't have the character of Bryan. That was my 90's name. Don't know if you've seen the new model Defender, Joseph. Not a patch on the real Land Rover 90. You take good care of yours.

That's a shame, Chris. Was looking forward to some photo's.

Happy birthday, Harry. Have a good day.

A very nice job you've made of it. Now put it away somewhere safe, till Dylan grows a bit.

To small for a fencing tool.

David is right. Not having any tinware on misled me.

Norman flat twin.

SWMBO came home from her evening walk round the block with our neighbour. "We've found this", she said. Showing me an old kitchen tap. "It would look nice by the pond". Anyway, after some thought and scratting about, I came up with the feature below. That should get me some Brownie points.
