you know what it's like, always something to do, probably spent a bit too much time watching the sun go down on the beach pondering what to do next as opposed to actually getting stuff done - tractor/landy shed is nearly done - am under pressure to get the extension started before the machine shop, then there's 20 acres worth of fence for the new land, will be light till midnight soon so there's no rush

your fergy a goer ?

sounds like me mate, no time for anything, but all the time in the world

me fergy is seased as far as i can tell, have towed it around letting the clutch up and down , just judders the back wheels, so have removed the starter motor and tipexed a timing position on the flywheel and housing the towed again , but no moveent on the marks, so am looking to strip it completely and do a nice rebuild on it when ther ser2s done,

shame really as last time i saw it a few years ago it was a runner , might just need pistons nockin out and some new bearings and rings.

is that the one sat on the Doxey road for ages ?

mine staying as it is, runs fine, plenty to fiddle with but nothing really needs doing - might do the hydraulic pump at some point as the backs drops very slightly when it's loaded - will be looking at something much bigger next year to work

iv been watching that fer a few days now, hands off !! there was a few on earlier in th year never kno what there worth tho, better off at a farm sale, ****in dangerous bit of kit in the day they wer,

gunna build a 3 point mounted log splitter when i get time too, made a mate a fork lift attachment for his fergy a few years ago, dead easy and really usefull, am after a tidy transport box too, gorra few old trailers too,

wile wer on about T20s, yer recon a mcconnell back hoe would be too heavy for one? got a drive and a fair few footings to dig end of the year, just thort get more use out of it when its restored,

wouldn't try towing it to free it up - you'll just smash the pistons

fill the bores with diesel and walk away for a couple of weeks - then rock it while it's in gear, then walk away for a week and keep trying - gently does it

which hoe ? - I've seen a massive thing that ickle fergy would have to work hard just to lift, let alone do any work

there's the small one as per this below - that should be fine

90truckcab · May 8, 2012

yeah , iv filled the bores with diesel and will give it a rock ocasionaly , might pull the head when i get a day free off the series,

yep .... thats the hoe i saw on one, poss not mcconnell, thers quite a few makes about, will be quite handy i thort
