Quad has a broken drive belt so old faithful has been called into action for the last week or so checking and moving stock. Been nice not to get wet when it rains even if it is a bit slow.

And you've got the air conditioning ready on the Ford 4600, for when summer decides to turn up.
The door always came off for haymaking every year but one year, probably 20 years ago it, was never put back on I think the door catch wasn't working properly or something and the door kept opening by itself. It's much handier as a runaround with no door to open and close all the time.
I've still got it in one of the outbuildings though.

Nice Ford 4600 you have there. We'll be getting our Safety Cabbed Ford 4600 out to do some maintenance on it. Getting a new grille, Getting Mirrors and mirror arms, Getting a new wiper motor, sorting out the instrument cluster gauges, getting new indicators, new flasher unit, fixing problems to the rear lights and last of all getting two new rear window frames and glass. And getting it ready for Haytime 2022.
This is a picture of the tractor on the first time we did some work on it.

What type of cab did your Ford 4600 have?

Great tractor but it's getting a bit worn now. On its second engine but everything important on it goes really well. Been here since it qas a year old. The 4th generation to sit in it are in the cab :)
