Looks to be a solid tractor under all that, will be watching this post with interest

The only reason you've got one is that you found it at johns before i did

The Brinlys are expensive so I have to make do

I need to fit rear weights and put a small weight on the plough, it an Auto culto plough

has it got a breather under the carb Norm take the cover off that and check the filter thingy

Not sure of the size Nigel, my plot was the same as the big stuff, the horticultural plots were half size but i was in the novice class

Good vids Koen, I've put one on my wanted list

Thanks Mark

As some of you know I entered the 2016 Annual ploughing match. The ground was wheat stubble and had large mose patches which made traction a problem up hill, anyway i had a go. Not having done it before i entered the novice class and was shown to my spot which was twice as big as the horticultural section and the only ride on tractor in the class all the others were full size tractors. Anyway we marked out and did my opening and then carried on and did the patch ( and we weren't last to finish) I learnt a lot throughout the day with lots of advice from friends and need to make a few alterations to the tractor. Heres the photos and running list and results, i was very pleased and had a good day and I wasn't last which was a bonus.

Good bit of progress Ewan, well done mate

Looking better Norm

all loaded up ready for the morning, hope i've got everything. Photos tomorrow night for you all to laugh at

That's disappointing Koen, ive got a cable on mine and the plough is really heavy hope my cable holds out. I gonna convert to solid rod and linkage but didn't have time

Handy bit of kit and makes a nice job

Finished painting the poles as well

Still not sure about the weights its very light on the steering with those skinnys up front I'm taken both weights just in case

She's not getting painted nigel, she a working girl

Good luck Koen

Thanks Ewan, been a bit of a rush but nearly done

Just came in for a cuppa so here's an update of today's progress. Tyres fitted , wheels and hubs fitted and greased . Here's some photos

Good idea to fit it outside, ive got mine in the back of the shed and so much stuff in front of it I can't use it. next time i see it I'll move it outside
