SirTainly Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 At the Shrewsbury Steam fair, got a few pics, but 4g is bad so will upload more pics later. Also the flakey Disco let me down on the way here, seized brake, so it's a trailer home job again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 well that 2 weeks of holiday went hellish quick, temps of mid 30’s for most of it topped of 40 for two days while in lisbon, nice easy 2.5 hour drive back this morn from southapton, left 7.30 home just before 10 , nice and quiet, no proper traffic to deal with, unlike the 4 and a half hours up on the sat two weeks ago 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hair Bear Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 What is the 'etiquette' at these events? Bring and use your own tool? Arrive empty and use an unattended tool? Bring a tool and use swap / turn about with others? Do you cultivate what someone has just ploughed or plough something freshly cultivated?

SirTainly Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 People seemed to have brought their own plough, but not sure if they were going over the same strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Interesting Roadless 115 on 12 x 36 fronts and 15 x 30 rears.....probably near same circumference? at least the front drive is disengageable, hence why a friend from school had one with masses of roadwork to do between farms in the 60's.

SirTainly Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Yes it looked a bit of an odd beast. Think I got some shots of it ploughing later. This morning I've been out removing the front wheel bearing on the 785. Ended up removing hub and wheel together as they've rust/fym welded together. As they say one job leads to another, looking at the thread for the castle nut on the end of the stub, it's really flattened and chewed up. Possibly why we've got problems. I'm going to have someone with more knowledge take a look, but I'm thinking I'm going to have to put a new king pin in, never done that before!

I had one do similar on our 5000 and had to get a new kingpin and the castellated nut was sloppy from new! So cut through one castellation with angle grinder and squeezed it tighter around the thread and then welded the closed gap so nut was then a really good fit. When ploughing the nut has a big load on the land wheel as the wheel is angled to keep in the furrow and the outer hub bearing is pushing against it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, makes sense why one side would be so mangled compared to the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirTainly Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Saw quite a few tractors on my road trip to Gloucestershire, but no photos. Had to come back early, and lose out on paid nights in a hotel, long story, but I've made use of the time to heat, hammer and apply GT85 to end up here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richo Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Been busy mowing and baling last week making the most of the sun. Out mowing on Saturday and there were a couple of people with drones messing about. had a chat with them and got them to send me some footage. Was working close to home so wife and boy came out to see me. Quite pleased with the video I was sent!
