Marmitemania

These came a day or so ago, the Powerfarm leaflet was just a Pound and a good buy as the one from my TW35 and Vicon mower set had done a runner.

This absolute minter came through the post today, the picture does not do it justice there isn't even the usual dust in the cab step grips, I looked over it and could not find a single fault, £10 bargin.

Looks great, can't wait to get my hands on one, cab interior detail looks good, irritating to hear they are still persisting with the silly ties in the box. Thanks for sharing the pics.

The Schluter looks the Biz Joe, you have a talent on your hands, keep up the good work.

Just won a Mint and it looks absolutly mint MB Trac on fleabay for £10, happy days   It will go nicely with the other 3 I have.

Same here, not my wife's cup of tea which is a shame really, altough she loves lambing days and stuff like that.

Thanks for the comment Tris, it is a shame about the county as I would have loved to hear her working, there was a six cylinder nuffield that did supply some audiable entertainment. Your right about Jack no one could ever say he was the milkmans son.      My kids always love things like this and even though we were there for around 7 hours they never once said they were bored or wanted to go home.

I missed this one out, working clothes V show queen. And I could not resist the usual child standing in wheel rim shot, I must have dozens of pics of our kids standing in tractor wheels.

Just a few more that I couln't seem to post a minute ago. Me actually ploughing and not fafing, I don't think its to bad if you squint and look sideways, I was not taking part in the competion.

Jobs done..... . and what it was all in aid of although I must say that is not the helicopter they use.

at the end of the day it was left to the big boys and girls to finish off the job.   

Me shunting about

Just give me a few moments while I resize a few more photos.

A couple for Bill. 

A very nice 4000 freshly restored with just one or two little jobs left, but a nice tractor.

My children Jack and Poppy at the wheel of a nice International 414 owned by one of my dads friends.

You do not see half track Nuffields very often.

The County didn't turn a wheel all day I think i had a problem from what I overheard someone saying.

Finally managed to resize the Pictures.  

I went too the local ploughing match today, really good turn out and we raised around £4000 for the Northamptonshire and Warwickshire air ambulance. I am trying to resize the photo's so watch this space.

Just returned from the Land rover show at Peterborough, a good day out and lots of spares if you have a Land Rover, also a good off road course that was at nearby Yarwell quarry ran in co-operation with the show, was good fun to watch some of the cocksure drivers come unstuck in the same place's as others brezzed through as if there was no obstical. As for tommorow off too the local ploughing match, you never know I may even grace us with some photo's, but don't hold your breath.

I know that will hurt Paul, had my thumb crushed between an L200 leafspring and a ramp (with virtually the full tension of the spring) it actually sprang down whilst still attached to the hangers, caried on working for the rest of the day and went hospital after work as my thumb had turned a funny colour, nothing broken but my thumb is almost twice as thick as the other one and has limited movement, this happened over 6 months ago so thats how it will stay, on a lighter note if they put your middle finger in a cast people may thing your are making a rather choice gesture at them. ;D  Hope it gets better soon.
