smithy

I plan to go as long as i have work up to date 

There was a lot of machines to look at at show and there was a lot of people on both days looking around . It would be nice in the future if other main tractor company's supported the show ,as for models Krone had a big baler and a forage harvester for sale and Kubota did on the morning of the first day have a small selection of models to clear but by midday on Tuesday they had all gone as myself and goody made them a good offer and cleared all the ones they had left ,not exactly sure how many but just got them all in Goodys truck , no other stands had models that we saw

Discontinued T35 Allis Chalmers "B" on Roadless DG half tracks. Looks as though it's one of (the Late) Dennis Goodburn's builds according to the display case.

Thank you for information ,it was to good a model to not buy 

Forgot about this one ,also from Newark toyfair , think it is a scaledown kit

Front pivot has a bit of play ,so stripped it down . Will get in touch with Knights stores and get parts on order 

Got the Airfix kit because of the JCB load ,kit is complete and unbuilt . Got the jigsaw for the wife , these 2 items are the only ones i have got into house ☺️ so far got to wait for wife to go out so i can smuggle the rest in 🤣

Also got these models 

Nipped up to Newark toyfair on New years day and got a few models as price was right ,also had a chat with a few other people that i bumped into 

Anybody on here going up to Lamma next week ,i should be there on both days

Had a run up the road to my dad's final resting place with the 472 and Gemma followed on with our 804... Furthest the 472 has been on the road, to be fair she running well, just a suspect oil seal that might require a wear sleeve when replace seals but will let it develop for now. She pulled well up onto the fell, still a bit bouncy with lack of front end weight... Biggest downside was the recent replacement exhaust that after only 5 miles up the road had started burning the enamel coating off.... needless to say I'm a bit miffed..... Anyhow a couple of photos and a happy and healthy new year to you all on here from me and Gemma. 

Thats a wonderful view even allow its the winter months ,Thanks and a happy new year to you both 👍

Well done looks like you have done a grand job of building , i have got one of them kits to build one day

And she’s all done 😀very happy with how it came out , found the pipe work surprisingly relaxing. Not bad for a 15 year old 

you have done a good job on making that 👍

Bit like Matty ,got a bit bored on Boxing day so took a couple of hrs out to start on this little project . Its a snowplough really but last few years i have used it as a grain-pusher and its been fine allow it is at a angle to push snow away its not been a problem . Anyway i decided to cut the main frame at the same place from back and going to weld in 2 bits of the same length so it pushes square ,it will be slightly longer out front than before but dont need it to long as will hit low roof and got posts to push around . 

Like jmd has said you would not think its the same tractor ,a BIG well done to you both 👍

yes they are being cleaned all the way though same as a cleaner loader with traces , if they run them fast they can load artic in about 10minutes but they normally run a bit slower and take 12-15 minutes per load 

My beet being loaded ,but i was busy on another job so i got sent these photos 

Last week i spent a morning cutting up firewood ,then my cousin and his son come up farm and did a bucket full of what i call Split your own ,

Not what i am doing but a question on what i might do ,the toy fair at Newark on new years day ,i think its on but anyone else going ? I not been up for a few years now is there much agri stuff or is it buses and trains 

A lot goes to power stations and turned into electricity allow that pushes the price per bale up for the livestock farmers
