Many thanks to Bill for taking the time to organise this trip for us, and also to Jim and Mandy Stewart for allowing us to see round their business.

You really do deserve the thanks Bill, if you hadn't bothered, then we would have all missed out. I look forward to the next outing and as Dode said, maybee we can get a chance to have a decent blether together.

The visit really did impress me and just re-enforced my positive views on Stewart trailers. A nice run enterprise with an increasing customer base by the day.

Glad to hear your dad is doing okay Bill, sounds like he'll have a great time having a banter with the staff  ;)

Stand by your beds you northern weirdos as the UTS bandwagon is coming to Penrith  *

Google maps recons 7hrs in the van without stops including picking up the dodgy sidekick (haven't told him yet)  ;D

Just waiting for my smelly lovely secretary to confirm that Harold can fit our stomachs and models in somewhere 

Glad you can make it Barry.

Just spoken to Harold and we're going to be there

Excellent, I must make sure to visit your stand and spend some penny's  :) .

That is a shame Brian, I wish you all well over the coming weeks.

Nothing by comparison but I stubbed my broken pinky toe on the table leg this morning. . . . had to sit down a bit quick as it made me go all queezy

Ouch!!

Such a terrible disease, so many medical advances, but cancer just seems to be one step ahead. So many lives lost to cancer, my sympathy goes out to anyone affected.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Bill, Andrew Jolly was infact a friend of my father inlaw Bob, they had many occasions to meet together with work.

The fact that my father inlaw lost his battle with cancer and is sadly no longer with us  :( :'( .

Such an injustice, a nicer man I've never met.

Same place for me to Bill  .

Thats a pity that you can't manage Paul  .

Well done, that looks a great build you've done for yourself. Lots of work gone into it by the looks of it  :)

Reading about your injury made me cringe Paul 

If you can adapt at using your hands like you adapt at getting things to fit on your low loader, I'm sure you'll be fine  .

Lovely photographs bossky...

Umm.. take a look at the position of the chappy in the deere... just to the left of the centre of the straw swath... I thought it was just a bit of bad measuring on the Lexion spout we had... but it seems that more than one of them discharge a tad too far over to the left to let the tractor run in the centre of the previous row left by the combine... er... or am I missing something

Also... that's another spout shape I've not seen before on a Lexion... that's 3 differing types I've noted now  \

There is so many options of spout length and end pieces that it gets confusing. Looks like the standard end piece would work well on that machine, but then it ends up too high if it is very windy.

Looks good, nice work and well done 

Thanks for all the comments 

Front hitch is the Imber Ford one, with side rails added  .

Front wings are from the Kirovets tractor.

Front steering angle altered to give more steering lock aswell  .

Most of the 7810's I recall from this area had front wings, front hitch and beacons fitted to them, so made my own mini version 

Oh! the gates, I thought you mat recognise them Mark, fencing either side of them might be a bit ropey, but not the gates  ;)

Thanks for the comments,

they were fairly easy to do, slight bit of filing and drill some holes for the screws 

Massey was a bit of a fiddle to do as I could not get the loader to sit right  , then I discovered that the bucket does not sit true to the loader frame, so therefore threw me off  .

Final result looks okay though  .

Tipping angles were altered on both loaders aswell, I just hate that model manufacturers make them so that you could never actually load a trailer with them  :

Looks really well. Would look well with a push pull plough combination

Thanks,

Now there is a thought, must have a look this week and see what I can find in the garage model room 

MF 5480 and Stoll loader 

Had a bit of spare time this weekend, so got round to tidying up the work bench of parts accumulated for conversions.

Ford 5640 first 

Two more 

Couldn't wait to get stuck into this conversion 

Had it planned since I saw it was being released. Heres a few pics, hope you enjoy, I certainly enjoyed doing it  :)

Looking forward to this event again  :) . Roll on November 

Internet being back on  , after being down for two days for some reason!

Thanks for the kind words.

Not a castle, just utilise every little space I can see  ;)

A small village called Tarves, be approx 20 miles from you Ronan.

It does amaze me the amount if interest that a tucano cab and potential new engine (IT4) is generating....

Oh, not forgeting the small metal piece on the tracks.... 

Jez

A lot more to it than meets the eye Jez, there are quite a few differences in all  :-X

Looking good so far Dave, you don't hang about  :)
