Beecham 4000-Four

Had my .22lr back in 2003 at 14years old, it was the only rifle I had until I was 20 and never wished for any more, it's a great caliber and I really enjoy using it. I was always taught great gun safety with my dad from a young age and I'm lucky that I have always had many farms to shoot on with suitable terrain for safe rifle shooting, and with a lot of shooting over the years I've not had that many ricochets with the .22. There's more options of ammunition for the .22 from hv right down to bulleted caps which make it more versatile. I have a .17hmr which I like also but has a different purpose, it has a good moderator which really minimises noise, but as with all rounds that break the sound barrier the crack noise can not be eliminated all together. I'm a big fan of .177 air rifles but for a fac airgun I'd consider .20 or .22.

Thanks for all the replies, we have now ordered a 5 kw clearview pioneer 400 and looking forward to recieving it.

We are looking to buy a log burning stove in the next week or so and currently considering either an AGA Ludlow or a Charnwood Country 6 which are around 6 KW nominal output, the opinions of anyone who have had experience with either of these would be appreciated. Which other stoves about this size would people recommend and how do cast iron stoves and fabricated steel stoves compare in the long run?

Materials come to a few hundred, I havnt got a spool valve yet but that will be over 150 for one with kick out, plus hoses. Ive used a second hand ram from a silage grab which I was given for free with a badly pitted piston rod so I had to get a piece of 50mm chromed rod which I machined in the lathe to take to end that holds the seals and I machined and welded a new end on the other side. If you make one with out a take it will save a bit of work and steel, I didn't want to make one with any bending. As for labour ive not added up the hours as I just do an hour now and again when I get a chance. Hopefully ill get some time to finish it in the next couple of weeks.

The wedge is cut from 150mm thick plate using a gas profile cutter and the 2 lugs welded on top of the wedge are cut by plasma.

The tractor is a county 4000 four, it has a one piece grille from a 4600 but i have managed to source an original county badge and need to find a two piece grill to get it back to original. i have put some photos of it in "Show your tractors" before but i dont have many pics of it working, never get time to use a camera then. I did think of having it galved when finished, its around 70p a kilo after dipping, so may be more worth while than re painting every few years, and would look better!

Started making a splitter to use behind the tractor, id have liked longer stroke but only had a ram with 14 inch stroke so used what was available and made two mounting positions so i could split longer logs if needs be. I didnt want to be working on the floor so made it with a table. Any suggestions for improvement will be appreciated before i get my paint brush out again lol and can anyone recommend where to get a spool valve with kick out for the return stroke?

Hopefully next year it will be put to use and acumulate a bit of dirt lol its in hibernation for the time being to do the last of the work over winter. I cant claim all the glory for a clean tractor as it was painted and had new wings by the previous owner. Ive only done mechanical work, engine rebuild and some work on the front axle to ensure its in as near perfect mechanical condidtion as possible

Well im size 10.5 so no sale sorry, Le shambles is not a make id consider buying after seeing the poor quality materials of a pair of wellies and a pair of waders my dad had in that make a few years ago.

Just googled the altberg factory.... hell of a trek! At the moment i use a pair of muckboot wellies which i really like but are a problem when driving, although they are soft and flexible they restrict my feet and i cant rev the landrover without great effort, which is great for saving fuel but not very practical lol and wellies have no breathability resulting in really sweaty feet after a long day in them.

Can anyone reconmend any good boots for use outdoors/countryside for fishing shooting, watching rally cars in the rain etc? The essentials being:- Waterproof!! Taller boot height prefered Comfortable to drive in Long lasting Going by pictures only i like the look of Meindl dovre, taiga.... can anyone vouch for these being good boots or reconmened similar style boots

Here is one of my project tractors, its a County 4000-Four which has little work left to finish, just shotblast and paint wheels, bonnet decals and find some implements to use with it.

I would try OEM Automatic Ltd (OEM Automatic Ltd) they supply Balluff sensors, or if you know the specifications of the sensor you may find an equivalent part in RS compontets, Farnell etc

i have a photo of the other side. Ill have to save taking a picture with the clutch cover off on for rainy day lol

Whats the value of one of these saws today? This is a saw my dad owned and then sold many many years ago where it was just considered a big saw and it was bought back about three years ago, little bit of attention to get it running and we used it to cut a big oak that became hollow leaning over a friends barn. My dad wasnt sure what model it was exactly and when we bought it back the aluminium badge half with the model number on was missing so we looked up the specifications for 070 and 090 on the internet and came to the conclusion that it was an 090 as the piston stroke was too long for it to be an 070.
