Hoping the forecast is wrong and the worst of the rain and thunder showers pass us but somehow think we'll get wet at some point tomorrow we did ok with weather in the end Paul wasn't as bad as the forecast and a good day out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a good turnout though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 Been a fortnight or so since I'd been up to the tractors so had a quick hour up at the yard yesterday, gave the 804 and 472 a drink of diesel and checked over the other vital fluids for a long and productive life before giving them a quick wipe down 😉 as they both out at the local Chipping Ag show today, but the schedule fairly busy with a local charity road run a week Sunday and then the last local Ag show of the year the following Saturday, they both get a few hours on their clocks over the coming weeks. Surprisingly though the 472 is better on diesel than the 804 despite the fact the 472 dragged the 465 to the last show we did.... Maybe Gemma has a heavy right foot 😂 Will hopefully get a few photos later 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 Good day had today.... Though water leak on 472 on return to the yard, first inspection looking like the heater control valve has cried enough and started leaking.... That by the by team photo 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye your spot on that's the little fellas JCB. Had bit of a catch up with John JMD and we both off on a short road trip tomorrow morning to go and have a catch up with a mate higher up the valley and have a look in his tractor shed😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 Not a bad run this morning a bit higher up the Valley with John JMD... Good natter with Tom and a look at almost a dozen tractors.... One in particular has been talked about before and has been talked about again today..... Nothing set in stone yet but given a bit of time and a few negotiations....I might have found our next project tractor...... Cheers John not been a bad couple hours 😉 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Couple of hours spent up at the shed, the 472s water leak cured for now with a bit of half inch heater hose to bypass the control valve, refilled and road tested for an hour... Seems ok for now but might flush the radiator through at next given chance..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 Dropped by the shed after a few other jobs this morning and got the 472 out, radiator flushed through and drain bung removed out of block, good amount of rust washed out, bungs refitted and filled with a 50/50 antifreeze mix... Road tested again then both 472 and 804 topped up with a couple of gallon of diesel ready for Sunday's roadrun, which I'm led to believe involves a run through Gisburn forest on the timber haul roads 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 Yesterday's local charity tractor run raised an impressive £980 for a chemo unit at Blackpool Hospital.... I ended up flying solo as Gemma injured her back and thought 5 hours being bounced about in the 804 wouldn't do it much good, although Gemma did get some photos and videos of us on route... So as a rare treat because I don't get to drive it much these days I took the 804 for a tour about the Lancashire countryside along with John JMD in his 8340 and his son Matt in my ex 802.... A good day was had I reckon 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect for a cabless.... But I don't get chance to drive the 804 that often since Gemma claimed it so thought I'd make the most of it 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
