Iwill miss his posts. Was it Roly who used to post pictures of engine strip down and rebuilds on the other forum, if so they were always enthralling.

Very sad used to like all his photos and what he was up to a great loss

Echo the above, always enjoyed seeing Roly's pics whether farming, earthmoving or in the workshop, very sad loss.

It's a shame his family couldn't have seen this admiration at the time! As above very much enjoyed his posts

I follow roly's business on Fb, thought something may have been stated on that.

What a great shame and great loss! Used to find his posts extremely interesting

Especially his caterpillar challengers

 

[Mydexta]

His page on the old bff was easily the best, most interesting I ever read.

Great to see the pics of some of the workshop jobs going on, and that serious machinery in use

Thought to all the family

It's nice to see dad had still posted in August 2015 he was very ill at that point, was me on that challenger prepping for dad's last winter wheat drilling

 

[Carl billings]

We've had this challenger about 12 years I believe, had to do the first bit of undercarriage work on it today,
Sourced a good used track and some rollers from slyagri in a great deal George did me, the other side track will do about more but on the lookout for a low tread good caseing for the other side now

 

[Carl billings]

Got this beast on the way now some serious rubber track power

 

[Carl billings]

We have 2 d8s in the workshop getting major rebuilds and d6s constantly in and out for serviceing and general maintenance, IL try and get some pics to post on here like dad used to

 

[Carl billings]

Sat here reminiscing wish I could show dad the Quadtrac he'd be out there with his camera now loving it

Got some pics today from the workshop, ex McNulty d8k has had oil pump failure and luckily we spotted a broken guide on back head

 

[Carl billings]

Another d8k currently in the shop, my uncle Ken's machine he operated will be painted and some livery put on in memory of him.

This one is in for extensive work, complete engine, torque and transmission rebuild then a prep and paint
