As it was not raining today I got the chainsaw out and started on this field edge and came across something that will keep the fire going when I burn up the brush-wood

Your last picture mr Smith that wasn’t me I know that I have been known to leave car parts when I have parked them in country ditches

Spent all day yesterday in the rain most of the time with a bit of snow at times transporting in 4 loads 16ton in total of concrete floor beams and getting them laid out at the right spacing's there was 4 of use plus my daughter-in-law , she could hardly walk at the end of the day as the mud had taken her energy out of her legs  

Poor old Abbie or is that one of the polish lot? Can’t tell from here. Great to see you on Sunday night sorry hadn’t got long to chat.

I think you are right, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. I can see one of Martyn's hand built models coming from China somehow

Hi Robbo, yes your are spot on this isn't nothing to do with me yes it's my model but this low life is "trawling" ebay for higher end collectible models and offering them on a buy it now at I fraction of the original price this person or scum did the same thing with a 1/16 RJN county crawler a week or so buy it now for £28.50 where it sold the week before at market value! I see that this has been removed now, If I start shipping and producing models from china I will let you all know Martyn.

After a bit of a meeting which involved coffee and biscuits well several biscuits myself and two other mates decided to buy this tractor which we got home on Monday it is at my mates house as he has jobs for it to do  

It's not that 120hp tractor with the loader that you was looking for or you have been short changed! Like you said you need to go and look before buying ha ha.

Thank you mark just something I knocked up!

New Holland 8070 in 1/32 scale half way done there is other things i must get finished but been itching to custom the old jadi toy casting up.

As a quote from DelBoy " Mine is not to reason why, mine is to sell and buy"  must get that on me new show shirts!

Again it's what people are willing and hopefully paying look at the amount of Ferrari  cars that make millions at auction for a piece of Italian tin (pressed steel) see that another is the only other on ebay at this time.

Yours is an early one as these were only built with the A series 950cc engine for the first 3 years before being replaced by the B series 1500cc engine. I had to look this up as I thought they came with a bigger engine and they did, eventually.

Yep meant 950cc and yes it's early November 1966 didn't make many that year  as mine is low 200's serial number. The 1500cc engine went in to the Nuffield 4/25.

No engine all good even do we bought it and man side it was sized .ha just need few bits for it. Do you know and one with parts ? 

These little BMC Mini engines were a 900cc 16 horsepower Diesel version of the A series petrol Morris minor and mini engines. Mine has only done 1900hrs from new and the engine ware was unbelievable for low hours but it was a common fault and if you don't have good compression on these small engines starting can be a bit s**t ! Best place for parts is J Charnley, www.charnleys.com these guys are pretty good and got parts on the shelf as well as remake items like I said it's not cheap four piston ring sets are £90 to start with it cost me a £1k to rebuild the engine. But the tractor is so original it was worth doing.

Good luck with the BMC mini tractor in the back ground if the engines mess't with that it's and arm and both legs to put right as done one end of last year!

Another job  have been on is fixing up these stairs on some flats down Felixstowe bit of a puzzle getting the right bits in the right place as not only is there a left-hand/right-hand set in the 5 sets there is a slit difference in some of the sizes which is down to the builders of the flats not us ,the stairs was sent to the galvaniser's in the sets but come back all muddled up     

Looking at the 1st,2nd and third pic it will be quicker getting down to ground floor than getting up there!
