nice conversion mate , very mouthwatering

wow all looking good mate , but where's the lime green & purple we discussed

looks very tidy cerin , shame it's for a customer & not yourself mate , would suit you i reckon

nidn't have a rear grill plate sean , although i did get one on the last visit to rons & the r/h battery pannel wasn't there when i bought it , but i have got a new one to go on

thanks john , i'm thinking about a visit to ron greets again to have a look through his tyre heap , maybe if the price is right a possible wheel tyre combination up yo 32 / 34 in rims , maybe it'll be cheaper than looking for new or part worn tyres

nice to get on & forget about daily grind mate running condition ? yes all well but have concerns with the multi power at the moment mate , seems to lose high , when working on the slopes if driven clockwise round the fiels , got some theorys & filters , lever adjustment , & maybe a worn seal letting it drop the working pressure a bit , but got an expert (uncle brian) coming to look at it , & great help from marky & his massy chums one day mate one day & as for the cab , yes it has to go on some day as the 168 was never released as a cabless model , unless for export that is looks proper doesn't it mate er thanks mate \ ah proper tractors with bits to hit with a hammer for proper repairs

yes quite traquil & slow paced isn't it all done mate & i'm as narked as you,got nothing to do now till dung spreading

i think these tractors just like the ford 10 series have a unmistakeable character to them tris

2 fergies ? 1 fergie you mean , but then you have got yer own 5455's to haul about as well mate

as you can see not much grass here as the horses are constantly out grazing pics didn't come out too bad considering they're taken on the phone while i was rolling i felt a wave of nostalgia wash over me from doing the same thing years ago with a cabbed 165 after steaming up & down the motorway week in week out , this is such a relaxing change

just seeing it all parked up makes me smile mark , but actually working with it gives great satisfaction well all the chain harrowing done so next job was rolling because of some of the slopes & the fact no hay is taken from the padocks a cambridge roller is enough , a 3T roller would be a bit much for the old girl especially on these tyres as there are a few wet patches to cover as well

all coming together nicely mate once the floorpan & cab are fixed , it wont take long till it's out working ! powerharrowing the the landing perhaps ? :)

ok,ok,ok i'll start taking your calls again just send it to me & stop going on about it, yes i'll have the volvo

well this seems to have gone nowhere fast whats the latest mate ?

with Ben here , small - mid range root crop machinery two row planters & trailed harvesters , (elevators not bunkers) c'mon siku we don't all use fendt 936's oh yes & a toyota hi-lux or Mitsubishi anything other than a land rover

thanks simon , really ought to get round to doing my ford & fiat

looking nice mattias , see yer taking yer time with this one all coming together

like the foragers brian, just like the real thing , but smaller \ never used one , but have hauled away from one ,can't remember the model number, powered by a ford 7810 on mown fields , was a real power sapper , think it may have been easier with a standing crop. i hauled away with a little 4100 & teagle tiger trailer

looking great mark , cattle shed,machenery, straw barn or just cattle & straw always good to see you doing something mate

always good to get on & go sean , even if it's just for a few miles drive out round the village wasn't exactly a heatwave down here yesterday john, all day was coat on , coat off , coat on , coat off ! just glad bill's zetor doesn't start ,as i'd have nothing to do :D nah , bill's in his 70's so is happy to let me just get on & do :)

view from the umm......................other field & thats how i spent my day ! (thats chain harrowing not hiding behind gates) was in no hurry , only 10 acres or so & had to watch out for the horses as i went from field to field ,i thouroughly enjoyed meself just messing about although the horses wern't that interested

view from the err...cab..........less \ view down on to the house down in the valley

done too many hours again so had to have a few more days off & seeing as the weathers been good the last week Mad's dads padocks were dry enough to get on for some chain harrowing. Bill has trailed harrows not mounted & are rolled up in the shed so once they were gotten out, off i went !

it is mate , basicaly it's a drive through village it more or less runs both sides of the whole length of the road from radstock to old down nr gurney slade , only about 6 miles from toytrac i knew people who went there, have no idea if they're still there , did you get the links i sent you ?

mattias , do you actually cast the cabs & roof yourself ?
