🙈Oh Jeanie don't talk. Went away for an hour to get another yolk going and came back to find the father had the tractor sitting there like that, nearly had a heart attack when I seen it, especially the front. To be honest though it's sturdier than it looks.
I sincerely hope so
Only trying to be funny, no offence intended.
The worst part is I could have got axle stands from where I was coming from. The things the father can get up to when he's bored. Got a fraser muckmaster a few months back which was in a bad way, needed bearings, fails you name it, it needed it. Went off dosing cattle for the day and came back that evening to find he had somehow removed the well seized sprocket at the front with a crude home made pullers out of 3 threaded bars and had both bearings on the front and back taken off. But then there are times he'd have 0 interest like today with prepping the pannels for spraying.I sincerely hope so
I know. It was pretty good, had a good laugh when I read it. No offence taken at all.
. Planning to do that as I thought it would be handier to fix the cab frame and mudgaurds off the tractor and as you mentioned I'd get to see what the fuel tank is like on either side, had to spray the skid unit first though so I can bolt on the dash which is currently being held in place by the cab, don't want to remove it completley as I dont think it will go back on too handy if I do.
Where do you get the plastic for Covrri g the likes of the tyres? Any motor factors ?
Just plain old cling film from the grocers to stop any paint getting on the tyre. Have some old plastic bags that kindling comes in stuffed in around the rim and the cling film wrapped around the rest.
Good man, I'd be happier if you had Axle stands under that tractor.
I asked your man had he as it would be safer and it wouldn't cover up under the front axle like the timber be he had given the loan of them to someone else so I just made do with them. Might buy myself a set of axle stands. Any good recommendations or makes.
It does look a bit precarious especially as the front axle is lending nothing to stability.
Ah it is fairly stable. Your man that has it used to run a fleet of trucks, he knows what he's at. It's certainly an improvement on the Jenga
Yeah. Let's you paint the edges of the rims too which I theory should stop rust from washing off the edges of the rim onto the centre and make the tyres look a bit better.
Is it fibreglass?
Yes. Have some fibreglass body filler which I bought by accident a while ago. I dont know would that do it?
I don't know but it should be possible, there is bound to be someone nearby that would have done it before and would know, is there anyone locally that repairs cars
Know a man that does but I dont know does he do any of the newer yolks, mainly specialises in the older cars doing sills, chasis and bodywork repairs. Seen a crowd in Eniscorthy that fabricate steel parts for cabs, might see would they be able to do anything. I'd do it myself if it wasn't for the 2 big holes from the roll bar.
