expeatfarmer 591 #79 Posted March 1, 2015 Digger finally finished, oak swamp blocks made and fitted. Machine all polished up ready for Tractor World. Just the Whitlock to finish off, the tracks are complete and fitted, clutch plate replaced new silencer to set up and waiting for new diesel tank. 3 Triumph66, Rocboni and Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Triumph66 1,256 #81 Posted March 1, 2015 That's stunning that Royal Blue paintwork and the home made tracks. Inspirational. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #82 Posted March 1, 2015 You should see it in the flesh/metal, Andrew. Only fault I can find is it's not in my workshop. 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocboni 257 #83 Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Make sure you've got my name somewhere Jonathan, don't want you taking all the credit now 😀😀😀, most of it was you anyway. It's really looking good and finally completely finished, I take it you didn't use the aluminium blocks for the tracks?

expeatfarmer 591 #84 Posted March 3, 2015 Decided that having two types of pad was too much . I offset the pads on both tractors 30mm to make sure they clear the lift platform. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

expeatfarmer 591 #86 Posted April 8, 2015 The digger has been put to work over Easter landscaping in my son's garden digging out large shrubs and trees, re planting and moving soil around, worked really well, managed to pull a track off right up against a hedge but I was able to walk it out on the bucket. It was my own fault the track was a bit slack and I was sitting across a slope pushing soil. The wide tracks are very good on soft ground and hardly leave a mark on the grass. I even had my own service crew! 3 Triumph66, meadowfield and Anglo Traction reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

expeatfarmer 591 #90 Posted April 22, 2015 Today I discovered our main house drain was blocked, out came the digger dozer with a vengeance, I dug a trench 4ft deep and 14m long through heavy clay soil in less than an hour, that's good enough for me! 2 Triumph66 and Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

expeatfarmer 591 #96 Posted April 25, 2015 I will have to clean it up this week and tidy up a few battle scars, although it is fully restored it is definitely a working machine and I try not to worry about the odd scratch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
