Is that your dung spreading apparatus from a few months ago conveniently tied to the mudguard?

just wondereing as so many people decide to do the restoration without the cab what i in some

cases dis-agree with but im not the one paying for the refurb  ::) ::)

good point nigel , but in effect the cab has to go back on as unless it was sold as an export model , the 168 wasn't sold cabless in the uk . i know all about people wanting to leave the cab of as it then fits in a garage , that only makes sence , but it's a shame to see them with out .

What you really need is a pair of MF ear defenders that were sold with each new machine to ensure the noise regs were adhered to  ;)

I've got a set... but I'm afraid I paid TOP DOLLAR for mine... I could lend them to you  :-[:D :D :-*

bit late for the HSE talk mark , i suffer from tinnitus anyway so the engine & exhaust noise makes a nice change  :D :D :(

as shown in another topic i went to the yesterdays farming event  & i took a few pics wityh the camera , but i also took a few on my phone so i thought i'd post the phone pics here  :)

got the tractor out on the friday to put the side battery pannel on amongst a few other things , bit of grease & a good wipe over with some WD40 which gives it a bit of protection & to redden up the paint !

well as noted in my on my journeys topic i have managed to find some tyres, theyre a bit bigger than the ones i have  at the moment it's running on 16.9/12 x30 these are 18.4/15x30

looked all good when i found them , but on closer inspection one has got a bit of damage in the way of a crack/ split but hope that because of the light work the 168 does it wont affect it , but until they're fitted i cant say . if i was planning on hauling heavy trailers regularly & lifting heavy implements then i don't think they'd be good enough.

as they are though i'll take the chance , but will retain the old ones just in case

even got the chance to christen my new birthday overalls  ;D ;D
