I only drove a quadtrac for a couple off hrs last October for first time ,courtesy off Case/Steyr

Remember having cream/jam scones in a Pullman railway carriage

Nice model Paul reminds me of a day back in the 1990s I spent a day driving a FW30 with a big set of discs for a neighbour ,my biggest tractor at the time was a ford 6600

A few years ago I had a look at the PECO place down at or near a place called BEER I think, was a good day out

well done ,she wont be able to prove that she paid for the models for you if she has receipts does not prove she gave them to you unless father Christmas turns you in

Good to see you are blowing the cobwebs of it , it certainly looks nice

Well done Mark tell her she can keep any presents that you gave her as I am keeping mine . was going to click the like button on your post but did not think it appropriate

Good to see you have the engine laying on a Health and Safety approved table/workbench there Trigger its a bit like what I would do

Happy New Year to you Chris and to everyone else on the Forum

Yes I will second that got to have biscuits , Happy New Year

I pushed the like button on this one as well Happy New Year

Thanks ,yes it was me pushed the like button Happy New Year

That bag of biscuits was my mates wages for the day .which is a improvement as I normally pay him peanuts

we tried it in a press yesterday ,not much to push against on the bottom and with some heat on it the bearing housing was bending we had 15ton of pressure on it and not moving so plan B plenty of strong block of wood under tractor front end in case it did slip ,stub axle upside down with a hyd/jack pushing up on the bit we needed to move with the weight of tractor pushing down plenty of heat and my mate spud on the big hammer brute force and ignorance it moved rest of tractor all works fine a few dents here and there and a broken back window as the person that was using it last was not that carful I think he thought it was a Tank it was then left outside for about a year hence the seized kingpin

Been working on these two today the david brown I have the rear brakes apart as they are binding a bit and the dashboard out as it has a steering oil leak also resealed all the fuel pipe fittings as it was sucking air in somewhere the 474 had got water get in one of the kingpins and seized solid but with a bit of heat and a big hammer me and my mate spud got it apart

Thanks for the update Alex and good luck for the future
