I used to run a 220 Cummins motor in my old truck years ago and those old Cummins were notorious for bad cold starting and had no glow plugs I used ether for every cold start, just a whiff of it through a tube direct into the inlet manifold. A short squirt of ether which was then blown into the...

11am now here, rain stopped at last and sun coming out. Dropped grandson off at football match and going to tidy garage up...again

Not mine but had this to play in today. V8 with sport exhausts, sounds awsome:licking: Did I mention the supercharger lol

Managed to find a little time today and started to make up the exhaust for the Catco, thats the Atco in CAT colours;) Carb was flooding when I switched the petrol on so had a look at that, turns out the float was full of petrol so will have to find the leak and solder it up. Happy to have found...

Nice picture..........:thumbsup: Here's my contribution Sunrise one day last week at the office (taken by my son)

Went to a tractor show this weekend. Well tractors, steam traction engines and old trucks. Seems I've driven most of the old trucks at some time or other and many memories came flooding back just listening to the old engines firing up. Rained all night Saturday and the field was awash this...

Need to get rid of the flocks of sparrows that plague the place. Traps are frowned upon in England and they are difficult to buy, Cartriges are expensive and I dont have an air gun any more. Any body made a decent trap for small birds.:)

Miss my old Isusu pickup truck, it returned between 26 and 47 mpg depending on what I was doing with it and would pull a house down. My Land Rover 90 is a way off being completed due to other comitments and the car I have has no tow bar (what do you expect for $150:)) Looking at a Land Rover...

. Brother decided to mow the grass today as it was nice. Great to see and hear the old Dexta at work:)

Dull and cold this morning, cant believe the temp has dropped 20 degrees from a few days ago. Cold week forecast so get some work done inside:)

Geology.. We live on top of a hill but there is a hollow which always floods after a wet spell. I believe that the reason for this is a layer of undulating clay under the top soil which holds the water in a sort of bowl and prevents it draining away. Am I making sense ? We have dug down 18...

Mines a small one but does the job. Did post this as show us yer c*ck but mods must have withdrawn it:) Actually this one is a hen as we used to keep poulty and sell eggs etc so it does have a meaning. Anyone got a tractor up there?
