Valley Axe Man

Also got this lube chart and a couple of brochures, chart must be about 4ft x 2ft

A few more into the collection this week, a Pair of parts books for the Universal3/4 and the 345/465/344/384 plus an original workshop jobsheet pad for service mechanic's to log their jobs and work carried out

Thats no bother John, just give us the nod when your ready

A few useful bits in them Zac, good find

Tidy job there John, looks even better with her top coat on now

He'd be even more embarrased if you warmed your 262 Zac... get a set of bull gears and pinons in her out of a synchro back end, your 262 be quick already but get them swapped and she be a true flier then.... you just need to make sure the brakes are reasonably adjusted and there's little play in the steering or you could soon have a few brown stains on your tractor seat

Grand Job Zac, well done on getting it going and doing a bit of good for a decent cause in the process

Happy New Year.... Happy new Decade, all the best to all on here that 2020 is a happy and healthy one for you

Cheers John aye it was a good night, current total stands about £7200 now after a few more donations been handed in

Cracking John, if it looks that good bare it's going to be another beauty with some colour on,

Good idea to keep Reg's diorama on the go, and to see the timeline transformation over the next few years.... Good on you Zac and Craig

Looking good Martin, i know you talked about it this time last year when we went up to Andrews, but good to see you didn't give up on the idea and its now an ongoing build

Thanks Lads aye i think the Young farmers were happy with the outcome, too true it is a worthy cause more so in remote areas, Hope you get a wander down Justin, hope fuly be some great looking tractors taking part

Thanks Martin, i somehow thought you'd be happy with those big blues there Cheers Corky, was first time they held a Christmas one, it normally during the summer but the Young Farmers Club that organised it have raised just shy of £7000 fot the Air Ambulance Thanks Smithy, was a bit of fun, will do a bit better with the decorations if they have a run next year, was a bit last minute to try and find some fairy lights

Merry Christmas to all on here that i know and a Merry Christmas to all on here that i dont.... hope its a Happy and Healthy one all around

i dont know if you'll be able to view them but here's a link to a better set of photos https://www.facebook.com/david.johnston.92123015/media_set?set=a.10159282346657782&type=3

Cheers Justin, was a bit of a beast, almost looked Balfour Beaty blue but was certainly a good sight, id certainly do a night run again just need to be prepared with a few more fairy lights possibly the only downfall was the lack of support by classics and vintage, id say 80 would have been modern gear the rest made up with older tractors,

Tractorman810.... AKA MARY BERRY ha ha! there be many on here into cake eating not cake making so fair play Sean

Was in a bit of a festive mood last night and had the 804 away onto the Clitheroe YFC tractor run, 102 tractors in all took part but maybe i need a few more lights for next time..... a good run and well supported by spectators too so hopefully will have done some good towards the Air Ambulance a few photo's including John JMD's 83

Looks like Dicky Winder been driving the one left in the photo John, a hell of a lean on it Nice finds though, it good that your still managing to find them

Its definatley been a wild wet one,, Get a hot toddy or two down your neck John and then it'll take the edge off you'll start to feel better in no time

Nice photos Corky, it surprises me the fact that alot of machinery is left about outside it still looks in relatively good condition with the exception of a bit of paint fade.... not your average sight over here in England

Also a couple more via John JMD and David DM434 for the collection. A Made better by Marshall stickered 502 brochure, from the transitional time between Bathgate and Gainsborough circa late '82. An Esso service booklet for the 3/45 & 4/65 models, The pre-production field test report in conjunction with the NFU for the 344 and 384 ploughed a bit over 800 acres in a non stop 24hr a day 10 day ploughing marathon as a field test around moss side farm and land around Bathgate and Ratho, and a 1969 pricelist for the new Leyland tractors
