I forgot to say that most of these jobs have had to be done in some real down pours of rain, its just about rained every day for the last 6 weeks, when that Sun starts to shine I will be ready for it.

Tony,
I've been busy working on my step daughters new house (tiling kitchen etc), but yesterday I fitted the handles onto the CCU (see pictures).
I've having to modify the outboard RH handle, as it was fouling the fuel tank (see pictures). Otherwise, everything else is OK.
The picture of the 68A tractor, does it say Bovis on the rear of the fuel tank?![]()
The fuel tank on the D8H says JARVIS (Tiptree) this tank was taken off a knackerd tractor at K.J.Service (heads of the valleys) Both the left and right side of the main chassis has now been torn through ,plated /welded this tractor often works 60/70 hours a week, the rough gang drive it like they stole it, its a marvel how the old banger sticks the hammer it gets, but they always decelerate the engine speed on any gear change,the D6 looks great , dont forget to sort out the hitch pin.

Hi tc,
Pretty amazing the stuff you do out there in the field....and muck.
I'm sure it rivals any fancy shop.
How are you ever going to retire if you keep working like a dog?
Might try this technique for access to some of those critters LOL
Hi tc
What that in the background in the picture of the 931 without its tracks ? Looks like a big crawler loader.
cheers

....ahhhh, maybe thats the old 8R. That upright at the front of the cab looked a bit like the mount for the loader arms.
The loading shovel by the 931 is another 931 ,I stripped the frames /tracks and sprockets off both of the loaders, then stuffed all the good bits onto the best loader , building one half good banger out of 2 old knackers.
