At least the weather I’m has improved and the grass has started to grow. I wouldn’t have liked to have been trying to get yows and lambs outside had we had last weeks weather! These tupped very slow the first week so I’ve had an easy few days, onto second weekers now and they are just starting to get going. Crossed Swaleys start next weekend🐑 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That they did and still do John, a lot of folk put Leylands down for the bad brakes and poor steering but that was more a lack of maintenance rather than any fault of Leyland.... The 498 and 698 engines that replaced the earlier 38td and 51/57 BMC were Leylands strong points. Torque and power and not too bad on fuel with the added bonus of a great exhaust note 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Nice john , i am guessing they ran a county front axel? Or something very similar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 Thanks Sean, yes a County conversion. I had the axle parts cast for some other County’s that I’ve on the go, and the Leyland bits were there as well, so I thought it would be a shame not to! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
