A few workshop jobs.

Lick of paint and tie everything on. Ready to try and weld now!

There not to far away ta will take a look

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.

First thing I check at the dealer is the scrapbin. Usual reaction when I ask is "you can have it for a crate of beer".

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.

Back home to its original county.

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?

There aren't many of them up here, as everywhere else no doubt the Fergie contingent are the dominant numbers.

Upgraded the bleed stud in my roller from M10 to M12 due to corrosion issues.

Spare time project over the last couple of months has been a woodburner for the shed.

Essential for this weather! Would be good to have it in Farm Ideas

Decided against using a 3rd brake drum as an ash pan. Used sone scrap RSJs instead.

If I’m lucky it will be ready for use this time next year!
Feel free to use the pics when I’m finished.

Not my best work with the plasma, but the smoke will find its way through to the lum!

Hope your going to fit a hotplate to boil the kettle on

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.

Thanks Larel. Looks like it's going well. Faster than I'd be anyway!

Did you ever get the B 275 running

Did you ever get the B 275 running

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.

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!

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.

Current project is making a contraption for spooling out and straining rylock, very similar to some of the proprietary makes on the market…………

Lovely drill. Handy to be able to swing it out like that.
