I'm the same age as you Dan. We have a lot of years to go yet.

I have that bulldozer kit. It has been sitting about 85% complete for near on forty years.

Could be difficult to prove though.

Sad thing is some people actually believe that shit.

Yep, when you find a good wof guy stick with him. Even if it costs a little more you know you can trust him.

Have a read of Muncie's V-Twin scooter build thread for inspiration.

Too much 420 young man?

Did this event happen? Could have been a bit of fun with enough notice to prepare for it.

I can't be the only one who immediately thought of this.

A proper OS mini? Clubman front might be worth considering for the extra couple of inches length.

Chrome wheels get my vote. Not a fan of black rims unless they're factory steelies on a beater.

^Insert Tui billboard.

End grain, like a butcher's block.

They might be oil cans Bryan. Check the labelling.

I've been playing with the tractor again this arvo. Did some more grading. Wound the top link out a bit and it worked much better. Then I took the blade off and rescued the three point linkage tandem discs that have been sitting in the paddock for over a decade. They're a bit rustier than they were when I bought them but nowhere near as bad as I feared they might be.

Bless her.

I am very impressed how well everything works given its age.

Link to video. I need to make further adjustments to the top link and/or the grader blade to improve usability. 480202524_9524866574264751_5205971772959086249_n.mp4 - Google Drive

What, no three year first wof?

At what point does a rebuild become a new trailer?

Rockauto?

Circa twenty years ago I replaced the deck on our 6x4 with H3 ply. Not sure now if it was 12mm or 15mm. It has been used for all manner of things, never gets garaged, is often left for long periods with wet shit on it, and it's still good.

Possibly a case for the less is more philosophy.

There is indeed.

The hour meter works. It has just clicked over 8422. Put in four gallons of petrol after it ran out last Saturday. Will see how long it lasts. Bought a grader blade yesterday from an old sheila on a lifestyle block. Resisted the temptation to buy her cute wee Jinma 4wd tractor which is also for sale. Used the loader on it to lift the grader blade onto my trailer. It could lift just high enough. Had a play with the blade this evening. Wife shot some video but the file size is too large to upload here.
