Just as well I didn't mention Alfred cryptically then, you'd have been in a right state.

I think that leather strap is actually what they came with . The father is fixing the exact same one for a neighbour and I'm nearly sure I saw the same straps on the bonnet .

Learned how to drive on one of those zetors. Gear stick up beside the wheel. No brakes/lights etc. Would only start with a pull!! Power steering was an optional extra we didn't have either. Would love to get one again. What is she Reggie? 3511? You could lift anything with them, given the size of the nose on them

Been quiet on this thread, you're not all afraid are you?

Here is a bit of stop-gap guntering from this morning. Worked absolutely perfectly. was going to patent it, but out of the goodness of my heart, I offer it to you all, free gratis:D

Don't the lids have a little valve in the top? My hardi has, must be needed or it wouldn't have it?

The tank didn't collapse as you were spraying or anything?

Nekarsulm

Nope, didn't suck in. Probably not airtight, but certainly no liquid came out, and I had almost the full 600l in it, and driving over some pretty rough terrain.

Ah yeah that was last year. About a tonne and a godsend at times

Not jumping on your thread, I hope, Reggie, but a few photos of a little "stop" I welded above the hinge of my crush back gate. Its to prevent an animal getting their rump or leg into such a position as would lift off the gate.

Just a piece of flat welded above the hinge pin, but only welded on one side, so a blow of a hammer or bar or anything to hand will snap it off if it was needed in a hurry, say if a calf got stuck under the gate.

Nice little mod there lad

Neighbour had this the other day. Cool enough use of a pick up. Said it failed nct so he made use of it.

There are a few bits left over and our patio table courtesy of woodies didn't stand up to the Irish climate very well.(pic 1)

So this morning I asked the OH would it be ok to make an iron patio table with a glass top. Ok she says but you wouldn't have enough iron! (Nettles have their uses:)).So do you think I should go for it? Overall height will be somewhere between 26 and 34 inches depending on dish/rim spacing. I hope she has patience and can wait till next summer, as there is always more than 1 project on the go.

That's off a dyna. Seen a few of them converted but all would have a double axle. Putting a lot of weight on the jeep with just a single axle. That fine for a tractor.

It will be class looking , and with all the vintage enthusiasts around you might get the call to make a few . The wind certainly won't blow it away either

You know it's going to be tricky when the back end is struggling to lift them and the front end has trouble staying on the ground....separate the brakes immediately.

Was tempted to get the nephew to sit on there instead of the rock..
