    Yet another good one Joseph.  :bow:  Forgot to say that I spotted a familiar looking tire changing machine in one of your other video's. Nice to see it has been brought back to life. :thumbs:

     

    We did some work to get the tyre changer working and it is proving to be a very useful tool. When time allows it will have a full rebuild and I think I may be able to make an adaptor so I can use it with small front tyres.

      Well done, Joseph. :thumbs:

     

      That exhaust's a fair hight. Is a MF one?

     

     

    I believe it is a MF exhaust. I installed it on the tractor when Joseph was very young and I wanted to ensure the exhaust fumes were way over his head. We have plans to remove it and replace with something more original in design and look.

    Those aren't cheap, hope you can source an aftermarket part, some of the original NOS stuff goes right of 60 dollars US, even aftermarket ones go 30

     

    For the moment I have ordered one of the newer shaped aftermarket ones. I will be looking for a original but as you said, I will need to save up some money first.

     

    In this country we have the extra joy of the Post Office for anything ordered overseas, unless it comes via ebay Global Shipping. Before Christmas I ordered something overseas which cost me £12, the Post Office then charged me £2 import duty and £8 handling fee, plus 20% tax, giving an overall import cost of £12 - 100% increase on the initial purchase price. The Post Office does have a massive hole in its pension scheme which it needs help with, but this is taking the biscuit.

  4. Today Joseph and I hooked his tractors of choice out of storage for some Christmas workshop fun. A very diverse choice this year

    We last used this Westwood diesel back in 2010 and I can't remember what is wrong with it

    We last used the D-160 about 18mths ago and it has a number of electrical issues

    You may remember this Bolens Husky 1054 from John's. We have already invested a lot of time and parts into this tractor and still have lots to do

    I'm just wondering how long it will be before I start seeing commercial movies you produce, great job.

     

    Alain, I am not sure they are getting any better but if you think so that great, thanks :thumbs:

    How Joseph can direct, produce and film this as well as owning and driving the HT20 is a complete mystery to me. :bow:

     

     As you say where is Iain? Come to think of it; WHO is Iain?! :confused:

    Andrew,  not seen in the video, but Joseph has a concealed remote and is also flying a camera equipped drone at low level.  So, no need for a redundant Dad.  

     

    Alan and Andrew, thanks for your support :) Sadily dad is becoming redundant. Gone are the days when Joseph would just watch me, sometimes I now get pushed out of the way and he takes over :unsure:

     

    Over the weekend I expect we will finally finishing editing the video from the summer RPT show and if I recall correctly, you all have staring roles. Time to hide :lol:

  6. Hi Guys,

    I am looking for a supplier for imperial mild steel clevis forks. I have not yet measured what I need but I would guess it needs to take a 5/8-11 or a 5/8-18 rod. A UK supplier would be great but a US one that ships would work too. All suggestions welcomed.

     

    Just in case my description of the part is incorrect, this is what I am looking for

    Thanks
