Yet another good one Joseph. 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.
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.
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.
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

How Joseph can direct, produce and film this as well as owning and driving the HT20 is a complete mystery to me.
As you say where is Iain? Come to think of it; WHO is Iain?!

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
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
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

We replaced the battery and make up some new battery leads for the Estate Keeper. Joseph did the work, it took him a long time but he got it done
