SirTainly Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Heading off to Cambers shortly to try and finally get some connectors for the outside taps. Think they are old imperial threads about 1 1/4" in diameter so no hozelock works with them. Going to have to make up adapters but so far the only connectors that fit are for 25mm hoses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirTainly Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Just had my trusty steed delivered to the new place.

smithy Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 All in a good course. It was in the Name of Nigel Jennings that sadly lost his battle last year . Nigel was mine Agronomist for several years and also covered farms around my area . This was only arranged a few months back and do to weather a lot of people are busy hay-makeing but we still had 42 tractors on run . I did it on my fordson major 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The canvas one holds water and chucks it in your lap when you start without the windscreen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
