Ask to see the scrap/off cut bins just inside the door, two sections of box 1140mm long the other day £4. Great for what I needed. The metal in the bins does change from week to week. Previous purchase 100mm x 100mm angle again just over a metre long, cut what I needed and have a spare piece now.There not to far away ta will take a look
Bought my early 60s 275 in 78 for £150. Had to replace liners and rings, seat valves and she was good as new. Scraper and also had loader with trip bucket. Made a chute to fill the Teagle Spiromix concrete mixer and used it for numerous building projects. 275 was a first class tractor but not popular then. Are they thought of better now?Road trip today to pick up a B-275! Lovely weather for it.

Snatch block required to drag it up onto the trailer, didn't like the sound the winch was making when the tractor was being pulled on the level.

There aren't many of them up here, as everywhere else no doubt the Fergie contingent are the dominant numbers.Bought my early 60s 275 in 78 for £150.

If I’m lucky it will be ready for use this time next year!Essential for this weather! Would be good to have it in Farm Ideas
Hope your going to fit a hotplate to boil the kettle onNot my best work with the plasma, but the smoke will find its way through to the lum!View attachment 1088953View attachment 1088954View attachment 1088955
That's why the flue is coming horizontally out of the side! Also going to make it a lift off hot plate to allow longer lumps of wood to be stacked in the fire box.Hope your going to fit a hotplate to boil the kettle on
Thanks Larel. Looks like it's going well. Faster than I'd be anyway!If I’m lucky it will be ready for use this time next year!
Feel free to use the pics when I’m finished.

Engine from one o already had is in the one I took up the road. It’s sitting in a local part time sprayers spray booth having been blasted and primed. It’s been there about 3 years waiting on him to find time to put red paint on it! To be fair I haven’t pushed him that hard. But could do with it home now really.Did you ever get the B 275 running
Well at least you managed it, we've all done it one time or another. Not saying that's what happened here but when I have too much time doing something like this I'm more likely to make those silly mistakes.I bought a bucket for the digger and made some bolt in pins for it. Photo no 5 demonstrates the old saying about the ratios between measuring and cutting!

Lovely drill. Handy to be able to swing it out like that.Current project is making a contraption for spooling out and straining rylock, very similar to some of the proprietary makes on the market…………View attachment 1095177View attachment 1095178View attachment 1095181View attachment 1095180
