Buried treasure in the garden eh.. Next your know, Baldrick and the Time Team will be turning up

If they do turn up don't forget to get them to dig out foundations for a new workshop with that little JCB they always have

It's such a shame to see all your tractors underwater Neil, but it's good to see that all bar one is back into life..

I thought this might interest you Neil as it's your sort of area..

Thank Norm, it was chrome paint on the wheels, as you would expect it didn't last that long.

I'm thinking of doing some airbrush work on my new project, so I will need some way of sealing it in..

Think I will have to steer away from enamel for the paint job.

Does anyone make enamel clear coat or am I just being daft even thinking of it?

Yep, it's been quite a damp and grey day weather wise here Chris, it's only brightened up over the past 90 mins..

What paint are you using Mark? The normal enamel or something a bit more car orientated?

This one is almost to big for around here, it can't get up my lane though and has to come across the fields from a different farm to get it here

Good to see another local member by the way Ray

Thanks Ben, having it self propelled once again would be nice, I'm too old to be pushing it

Although I do take a lot of photo's most days, most of the photo's are of my projects.. Every once in a while I like to take a few snaps just for fun and because I enjoy it.

Now don't worry, I'm not about to post the clock photo's again

Living where I do out in sticks we do get a lot of wild life and some of it comes through the garden which is handy

Meet Bert..

A green woodpecker..

A lot less green woodpecker

A pheasant strutting his stuff.

A chilling rabbit.

Some smaller wildlife, a dragonfly.

And a butterfly feasting on a blackberry.

Bluebells.

One year the lawn exploded into colour as the clover went into overdrive.. It looked so nice I didn't want to cut the lawn

Some photo's look best in black and white..

And some have to be taken in the dark

A few slow moving mushrooms..

And these last two I have no idea what they are as Photobucket is playing up and all I can see is the link!

That's my kind of show, such a great mix of machines, vehicles and displays.. Thanks for posting the pic's Neil

W is a long way off.. Plenty of great machines along the way to read about and see pictures of starting at A

I'm looking forward to seeing this come together

I was going to build one, but Ben's got the bit's I was going to use now

By 'eck I bet that can cut some corn !!

 

It clears field directly behind my place in about 5 mins!

It amazes me how these combines work , I was told that they harvest crops via satellite information .

I did some work for a company that used to sell Massey ferguson combines in Bedfordshire.& I got to sit in the cab , it felt like you were driving a space ship. Great fun

It's all a bit high tech these days, I did get a ride in the Claas a couple of years ago and the farmer showed me the cruise control as he called it.. Flick a few switches and it steered itself around the edge of the field!

all the high tech stuff can't stop the belts breaking though

ah, right.. with ya now

That's a rather nice sports pick-up wagon Gareth, lovin the idea of putting a 1.9Tdi engine in it

I'm guessing a real gx engine is something special?

Harvest time is not very far away, it's going to be an early one this year!

While I was digging though my photo's I found a few photo's of the monster Claas combine they use up here..  It's a beast to say the least.. Thought you might like to see it

Thanks Paul.. It rattles (not the engine) a lot during use, the clutch belt broke years ago and the engine has two speed.. Full throttle or not running, but it gets the job done a treat

The paint looks good Mark, it's not been painting weather here today!

I've no idea what model this is, I bought it at least ten years ago. Powered by a small techy engine which has never let me down.. I know it will always start each time on one or two pulls of the cord.

As for the flames.. I got bored one day

The chrome exhaust didn't stay long as it made the whole mower vibrate like mad, but the induction system is still on it

I like your thinking Kev, that could work very well.

Maybe rather than just one manufacturer each month beginning with each letter, any manufacturer beginning with that letter would be better.. More posts each month and a mixture of machines..

What do you think guy's and Girls?

Great photo's, the shepherds hut is rather nice

Digging this thread up as Nigel and I spent a good few hours this afternoon trying to work out this strange trans.. It's a Peerless 2300 series that came from a machine with the engine mounted to one side or it it from a rear steer machine..

Has anyone any idea what this trans is from?  Both Nigel and I would love to know

I can understand why the key was missing, it's very easy to push the key out when pushing the pulley on.. Don't it myself with realizing until I noticed I had no drive!

Looks like your having fun with the trans Norm, Sorry I can't help you with the high/low selector fork bolt..

I won't be going..
