Nice work!!

Yep. Let's just say I got real good at split-brake rear-wheel steering there for a while... ;-)

Hey Doc. Thanks. :tiphat: It's good to be back and checking up on what y'all have been up to since my last visit!

No, I never did. I'm getting by just fine with the rear scoop. It's simple with few moving parts. Best of luck with your FEL build. Share a few photos as you go. Its always fun to follow a project like that.

Yep, I have a winch on mine. I picked up a nice little remote control 4500lb winch a couple of years ago and only got around to mounting it last year. Handy to have. Especially when pulling logs out of the woods. I've only had to pull the tractor out of the mud once, and it did fine. I probably...

I fitted a sump heater last year and it makes a difference. You simply clean the bottom of the sump with thinners or alcohol and attach the heater pad with double sided tape. This pad was less than €10 supplied (ebay) so a pretty good investment as far as I'm concerned! It's 250watts and has a...

My old White (MTD) 42" ride on mower finally popped it's clogs. I've been patching and repairing that old thing for years but a few weeks ago it crapped out big-time while out mowing, so I finally accepted it was time to lay it to rest. This is a good time of year to buy mowers being end of...

I used it as a tow around for a year or two but I found it a pain in the butt to be raising and lowering it with the lever & dolly wheel system every time I had to cross pavement or gravel paths. Using it on the 3pt hitch makes it much easier. I'm going to do some more aerating this weekend...

A little something I made up earlier this year to help around the property. Using some square tubing left over from another project, and an 8 ton bottle jack I got for cheap in a local auction. Primary purpose - to lift the rebuilt engine back into my RV. But of course, once it's sittin...

Heres something I saw recently. Simple but effective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqEGp_SAYWw

Hi! :wave:

Seems like I need to give that scoop another lick of paint! Not bad for somethin I built 10 years ago I s'pose... :smile: Hi All, It's been a while since I visited NTT. I have some catching up to do! :clap: (Thanks for helping me with my login issues Doc). K

This is actually my first venture into this kind of restoration! I've restored a few tractors, farm implements and motorcycles over the years, and I have a lot of experience in welding & fabrication, but I've never restored a vehicle that was this badly messed up before. Its actually the worst...

I even managed to use the tractor - :yum:

Hey, I forgot that I had put this thread on here! I know it's not tractor related, but some of y'all might be interested in what I've been doing these last couple of years!!! I'm still working on my mom & dad's old camper! Its turned into a hefty project but it's a fun way to spend my spare...

Avant guy, Have you used that winch in anger yet? It looks real clean!!

After a crappy start to the year with relentless rain and constant storm cycles, things have warmed up a little here in Ireland and it was time for our first "mow of the season" last weekend! it was nice to get back in the seat! My little mower is old and a bit tired, but it refuses to die, so...

The "Specialist" american car parts guys in the UK were looking for crazy money for the parts too so I did my own searching on the internet. I found a new mechanical pump in Florida for $15 plus $16 shipping so I was happy enough with that... It has arrived since. I ordered it last Thursday...
