MDFord Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Great set of pics Smithy, thanks for posting. The 7700,7710 and 2wd TW20&25's would be my pick, nice to see them in that condition. I learnt to weld on a Pickhill Bantam identical to that one a fair while ago, still got the casing as a parts box somewhere..... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Been spending some time over the weekend trying to get the veg garden back from a state of neglect (the sheep we're in at one point over the winter!) The bottom bed is still a work in progress but will eventually be a fruit bed. Also been busy helping with some fencing. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 after 1 day short of nine weeks i finally got my van back this morning, and its managed 150 miles today with out any issues, not going to tempt fate by saying its fixed. just yet mind, no idea what else was wrong other than the origonal new turbo being fitted.amazing as bad as it is to drive over a transit, how much better it is to drive over a 08 plate vauxhall combo ,and i have all my tools etc back . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
