not heard of many engine problems , but i have heard of back end problems , the circlip being one of them , have also heard from a friend that when changeing the pto shaft around there was a lot of clunking heard in the back end, turns out all the pto gearing fell to the bottom of the box !, you guessed it ..... circlip 4C was one of many i chatted to mike, was good to meet new faces to familiar names , you should have come down , it was a good day have you re-cast a complete new bonnet for this sean ?

3125 was a cracker of a tractor , looking good sean , few more hours to be done yet though mate, going to be worth the wait all the same . totally different, bigger heavier tractor, my dad used to drive one, looks like a 3095 at a distance but different close up, different bonnet etc, 3120 more like a 3095 the 3125 is a true classic in the making, quite lot were sold round here in there day but suffered from reliability problems :'( the 3000 were much more reliable than the 3100 re the turbo, yes the 3125 did have one, they pushed out 126hp

even then a bit later ford did offer a 7600 without load monitor, the bubble cabbed 7600E, & before anyone asks, that was the only difference between the 7600 & 7600E

one size fits all ! they look good in all those colours

you had to go away & keep comeing back to it as you would see something you missed last time around , just awesome :)

best bit was barry's face when thomas looked him in the eye & said , "hello barry ,i'm your worst nightmare" :D well done & thanks to all involved , in the creation of this years toytrac . if you are a regular , then i'm sure you'll agree it can only get better . thanks to the rest of the ftf display team for the encouragement towards each other in getting 24ft up-together & complete , i'm sure it helped ftf no end , so many people took an interest , & the little flyers didn't stay in place for very long , & the relief on some peoples faces to know they wern't the only mad people on the planet to & realise we were there to share their interest , great to meet new faces to much familliar names , not least graham & sharon with frogshole farm , believe me people it really is a must see, so much you don't see in the pics , all become awe inspireing when it's seen as a whole . :)

sounds like the a drivers were always about to rescue the lesser drivers when mistakes were made mate , but i know what you mean sounds like you had a good summer luke , going to feel strange i bet , after being all flat out , then just to go back to college

err .............. re-aranging me spuds so to speak \ ooh err missus :D

just got to this topic mike & have just read from start to finish mate , like very much what you've done with the sheds mate , the overall effect is great

great pics mate , they all look pretty well tooled up

some good going on that layout chap , looking very good

15 seconds after many attempts , had to stop as doing my head in \

i know the place ,i sometimes deliver feed there, if i remember rightly , the old man bought himself an artic a years back just for hauling stockfeed about for something to do in the winter, don't think it's there anymore , lovely big yards though

looks like you enjoyed yerself while you were going mate , i expect the other thing going against you wasnt just hard ground but worn points as well ,a new set of points would have made it a little better

just the decals to finish it now johny, well done chap

is that 'local farmer' the chap down the long concrete trac on the right hand bend with the roller on the grass triangle before you get to the village dan ?

thats true , then as for pubs ? dont know whats about around podimore, other than the sparkford inn or the lime kiln at long sutton & i wouldn't have a clue what either of them is like

not unless you're thinking of crashing the officers club on the naval base mate , if i have to drive so do you ! & any way you'll already be out & about

well do i take the number of replies to be a no then ? got to be more than 3-4 people else it's not going to be worth going, if not see you all on sat afternoon / sunday morning

not as such , but the stonemasons in ilminster is pretty good, it's about 15 - 20 miles towards tauntonthan wincanton & about 20 miles from me anyway , so about mid way from you lot staying up there & midway for us to come meet you.

looks like a fair few of you lot will be coming down on the saturday, so just wondering if there's going to be a sat night drink up meet up ?

looks like another 35 , but with a yellow wheel nick

thats astoundingly short jas , only really get that sort of height in the corners where those pesky rabbits keep eating it down , but like gav said , it's the same down here,very wet slowed the growth alarmingly , but not seen it quite that short for the whole field

taken a while to catch up with it mate , but things are coming on really well & at a fast pace as well , great set up blake :)

may have seen better days mart , but worth a punt , still a few good hours in her yet i expect, go make an offer
