    Glazing of Bores on Older Tractors

    Chewing the fat with a friend about older tractors glazing their bores when doing stationary work at tickover/fast tickover. He said that it wouldn't apply to direct injection engines, I'm not so sure, but willing to be convinced. Any mechanics who can give a definitive answer?

    I want to make a concrete weight for a compact tractor, needs to be about 150kg. If the weight frame is about 20cm width (internal) what dimension of former would I need to make?

    Mini Digger for Occasional Use

    There are times when (not often) a mini digger would be handy to have, but would a small back actor fitted to the MF35 be a good compromise? I am thinking of something like this, which has it's own PTO pump, ideal as the 35's hydraulic performance is not brilliant. Does anyone have any...

    Nissan Navarra N-Guard

    I've just taken delivery of a new N-Guard. On the whole, I like it but the suspension seems very firm, you tend to feel every imperfection on the road, are they all like this, and will it "bed in" come time?

    I need to find an old soakaway in a rough piece of ground which has to be cleared for an area of hard standing. Are there any quick ways of finding it? I don't want the digger to disturb it as it's still in use.
