P.S.

All I wanted was the oil light and the alternator light:thumbup:

Rust is lighter than carbon fibre.

But look at all that glass! only the back window on the DB is gone?

[difflock]

'Scuse me mate!, I removed the rear window, intact, and have it in safe storage, thank you!

 

I would hate to have to source the various curved glass elements for the Secura cab.

 

I did also finally fix the steps.

I would explain that the front rims only got painted because the internal rust was so bad it was puncturing the tubes, I widened them while I was at it.

Ripped the wiper blade off bulling through bushes/trees, need to get it sorted as well.

And deflector wires to protect the exhaust and windscreen.

Also fancy a wee logging blade for the front, might be able to modify an old set of front link arms to this end.

The vunerable underslung power steering pipes have already been cunningly, and artfully re-routed, up out of harms way.

The old girl does all I need, and is SO VERY easy started, winter or summer.

I am seriously considering rigging a solinoid to strangle her,(with a view to radio remote(Lodar) winch operation) and in the meantime relocating the ignition key just inside the drivers door for easy access without having to climb into the cab.

truely a "work in progress"

 

The forestry trailer which I put ex slurry tanker "Russian" wheels on, seems to be perfectly matched to the tractor, in respect of weight and flotation.

 

Oh! another project is re-valving the crane controls with a joystick set up, ex whitehouse hydraulics.

And a wee hyd winch for the crane to drag stuff within reach.

 

Though I might be better looking for a fresher trailer with a longer reach crane.

Is that a racing car type steering wheel, that you put on and take off to get into the seat?

 

Or does it steer with a pair of molegrips attached to the steering column? (I've actually seen a tractor like that:biggrin:)
