I think ( ) we had the that rigid cab on our 148, but obviously the sound kit cost more so father probably didn't bother. 

I remember the doors used to stretch the canvas 'limiter' and swing right round to the engine in a breeze. 

Nice rare machine and about ?2800 - what's the haulage from Kiwi? 

Intersting John... you just love taking things to bits don't you  :D

It's the 'putting back together' bit I have bother with. 

Just checking the hoses, and wear pads. The only satisfactory way to get lubricant (Waxoyl) in there is to dismantle, then spray the whole inside. 

Thought you'd have had that Case out of there by now. 

Ever wondered what's  inside a telescopic boom? 

Giving mine the once over today and took these -sorry about quality.

Putting a chip on the Renault 616  So far, so good..........

Lovely day today but still breezy. 

Here's a trace from my weather station for this week wind speed and barometric pressure in textbook curves. 

I've tried both an N and T series recently and found them to be good going tractors. As has been said, the Sisu diesel is bombproof. From a drivers point of view, they just seem to have a feel of being just out of date somehow, and slightly unconventional compared with other makes. Rows of rocker switches in the cab are unnecessary nowadays I think. 

Been Looking for a sawbench found this joker  :

You could get a new one with PTO guards for less. 

Just got into the swing of it and tomorrow I'm having another change, 7840 on fert spreading. . . another fave job!

Watch for broken drains  ;D

Think it was about 600 and some miles, I forgot the camera  [

Not all today, but went down to Norfolk for a farm sale (Way too expensive). Dodging overturned wagons on the way back 

I just got confirmation that my new tractor has been ordered... 

OK then! thought this summed your ploughing skills up. 

Ouch! You got the inside and the outside 

Blowin' a hooly here - average 38 knots, gusts 51 

havin a tetnus jab thingy it didnt hurt when it happened but its realy killin now  :'( :'( :'(

They do sting a bit. 

I've been trying to send some money to Holland by IBAN - what a bleedin' carry on - be simpler just posting a pile of Euros. 

He's well keen to get his bum in the saddle.. I reckon there will be a fight on day one as to who gets the first ride in it  :D

Let him have first shot - you'll only break something....  ;D

Is that good or bad John :D

wonder if my 'Wii' will reach that far ....instead of buying a wireless router here :D (jokes will now roll in!)

I thinks its bad for me and bad for you lot - sort of lose/lose scenario

The AP is supposed to have mor epower than a basic router is doing about 40 m , and several walls, no  problem

Just set up a wireless access point on the network, so now I have my lappy in the workshop - I can foresee time on here up; model production down. :D

I wish TT would buy me pressies like that, Tris.   

Looks a lot more comfortable than some of the Shelbourne machines up here. 

We used to grow grass for seed too but it was never dry enough at harvest and the swaths could spoil........

Looks very smart - I was admiring the wood dash too. 

How many hours has she clocked up?

Not a cheap sale, then.  :o

Very tidy drilling rig CJ.
