    TS 59 Cross shaft

    Your two emojis are 'face with hand over mouth' which a wise monkey would see as 'speak no evil'! I was just saying that for loading that trailer plough, a wire rope would be simpler, as used by Votex toppers.

    TS 59 Cross shaft

    It looks like a lot of work merely to load that plough. By employing biplane technology of struts and stringers it could be simplified down to a wire rope from the top-link over a headstock strut, then to the rear body.

    Ram Repair

    Have you seen this bloke on Faceache? Pretty impressive with rams. =AZVrc4pJAFMmzxhrDogh03MefdmG9ULq1n1TCJlaySuMCbkBmgoBBOlQP-l25fKwMFF1jm_dY_eNSmF2FMn8sKXlpWpRekws7oFwpciv2tYUnpUDYdLiV6vIw0DjnsPWL7ohbTk2K-Z3NxAYMeVJCTFjCPsMbjmfEYE9Ge0YyPXN2a67j7loh_gMUs2iNg2HEvQ&__tn__=-UC%2CP-R']Cutting Edge...

    Mf 135

    The front axle fits nicely on the sump. That seems to be the problem faced by 'Modified Fergies' on FB.

    Mf 135

    I have a 135 sump and a VW Golf tdi on it's last MoT. If I can graft them together I get 75HP and a 4k red line.

    Gate that hinges/latches at both ends

    I thought abatoirs were one way traffic! Did Hos-King make sheep drafting sets with a gate having a loop at each end? Cowboy pubs have swing doors...

    Plough match area dimensions

    I thought you had to pay horses to attend and then they get all stroppy if tractors are close.

    FE35 - 23C Engine rebuild

    OP has lost the old part. Tensioner works with a spring against a ratchet plus hydraulic operation. His oilway looks blocked.

    Plenty of space Down Under.

    Whats the best way to fix this?

    Does it have to be a blind hole? Can you do anything from the other direction?

    MF 35 Hydraulics

    As Bundy Bear says pull the cap off the stack pipe, open the RH circular cover to spring the roller out then only undo the small nuts around. Front seat stud for crane.

    MF 35 Hydraulics

    I think you might have to remove the seat and lid! When it's upside down you can see what you are doing.

    I hate modern tractors

    See Agriline 5141, just a condom.

    I hate modern tractors

    Shuttle boxes? Not so long ago (geologically) you would have to run the engine backwards to get reverse! You could sit sideways on a frying pan seat but the first cabs had no room for even one VDU. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

    The war in Ukraine...

    Can we take an evening off for some song and dance from Liverpool since Ukraine has not a village hall left standing? The public vote made them winners when under attack.
