Valley Axe Man

A few from the weekend .. apologies for skipping out the David browns.... Not intended just got too warm and too busy to wander back across the field

Had these sent from good friend Andrew he made the journey down to tractor fest yesterday with his new hobby truck and his 2 stunning tractors and Jag 40... The 4wd 100 belongs to Andrews mate

A couple of photos of Brian and Will's updated front axle details... Leyland logo in front hubs is a nice touch 🙂

First new addition to the collection since last November... In the shape of an RJN QM cabbed 704........ Hopefully it won't be long until the next Harvest gold is ready but until then here she is... Features new front axle with better shape to the 6 stud Leyland axle casing, inner front hub detail to suit and flat plate front wheel centre... Set up on 24/36 wheels..next one's in production will feature a back window in the cab... Seeing as she's here might put her to work on the chopper at Newby 😉

Anyone heading to Newby Hall this weekend?? We there with a few models in the model tent, so will try to get a few early morning photos without too many folk in them of some of what's there on the show fields

345 Nuffield.... Wonder if the blocks cracked between the liners 🤔

Thanks for posting Barry... Looks a well supported show there 👍

She a nice un Justin... Very desirable indeed 😉

Thanks for sharing Justin 👍

Cheers Justin, be first time out for some of these since last November.... But I'm hoping fingers crossed to have a bit of harvest gold in time for weekend if all goes to plan 😉

Bit since any of the collection seen light of day so made a start at packing a few bits for tractor fest next weekend.... Hopefully won't be too long afore there's a couple of new additions off Brian and Will at RJN 👌

Seeing as th'owd Nuffy got left out from attending last weekends Chipping Steam fair, and with Gemma being at work i thought I'd take advantage of the good weather and give her a stretch of her legs seeing as it's been quite a while since she last see a lot of road, so popped the battery lead on and away we went on a pleasant 25 mile plus tour of the valley, to be fair she did alright, bit of a weeping halfshaft seal on the nearside rear but its not running out and even though its leaking it doesnt warrant a strip down yet.... Even came across a bit of forestry thinning at top of Hunty..... I've all 3 tractors booked into our next local show in about a month's time at Longridge so that hopefully still have decent weather 👍 next job will be to sort out some models for next weeks tractorfest at Newby hall ........

When we were up at the yard returning home from this year's Chipping Steam fair (where I managed to get a group photo whilst on the front row of the parade) on Monday evening I couldn't help notice how early 80s this scene looked...... Only thing is if you look close you can see the Ifor hiding by the 465, but at first glance it could quite easy be back in the day on a Lancashire farm 😉 those eagle eyed of you might notice the Ifor has disappeared in the last photo when lad happened to edit it out for me 😂

A couple from today at Chipping Steam fair some nice tractors about

Cheers Smithy 👍👍 Gemma been back in the arena today to judge the ladies on tractors after she won it last year..... VID_20230528_132245.mp4

That's good that it's not a serious scalding... 👍

Lucky escape there Smithy.... Hope your arms not too sore... If I burn myself at work I normally rub soap on the burn area. If caught soon enough it does help the blistering.... Just promise us all on here that you'll wear your safety glasses when your cutting and grinding... We don't want to be reading you've had an eye injury next

She made it to the first day at Chipping Steam fair yesterday 🙂 to be fair looks well at side of the 804, we got caught on camera during the tractor parade by Dave Steele, but were lucky enough to be in the presence of a bit of rare gold in the shape of Ian Greenway's Marshall 100 and rarer perkins powered 954

Ahh beautiful spot Mike 👍 when we stayed down there on a farm no far off RAF Valley they were big Fergy men hence why I asked...

Anywhere near RAF Valley Mike?
