Thank you for the lovely comment I will not be telling her indoors about being fit as I won't hear the last of it! No I wasn't under there as well all I told her to do is find the oil leak and then she said take a picture got one from last year show under the Deutz she just like getting under my things? Anyway we are all good hope that you are all as well to.

What is it that you've used to re-attach the wheels if you don't mind me asking Martyn?

They are the original Britains axles hope this helps thanks Martyn.

I thought it was first load for SACKERS scrap yard

Cheek mr smith I was on the way to yours with some freebies but I'll have to keep them for me now!,

Been levelling off some ground at home today with my weapon of choose a nearly new Hitachi Zaxis 17U.

With my packer out of action (mother as she has broken her wrist /arm in two) I am working single handed and she is to! So packing is now my job as well so this is what I have been doing!! (Picture First load on way to packing shed)

Custom built JD 4455 in 1/32.

The 4455 is not a rebadged 4755 it is a new bonnet and front end casting which has been measured off a real JD 4455 and I have researched that apart from exhaust and air cleaner placement all the bonnets up to the larger JD 4650,4850,4755,4955 etc are the same size (4440,4055,etc) JD in the states has a very good on line workshop manuals dating back many years plus I have also talked with Nick young to confirm this. I Loved these old SG2 cabbed tractors as used to work along side them as the ploughing contractors used 4240s,4440 hyd front wheel drive 4455 and then the larger 4755.

Ive done it Paul.....................I removed those ghastly european rear fender extensions!!

I also remove these on the cab mudguards.
