After removing the contents of the rear axle in June and carrying on with front wheel drive.
Finally got all the bits, so it's back out and rebuild time.View attachment 1152345View attachment 1152346View attachment 1152347

What happened to it?
Just asking as we have one

What happened to it?

I was busy placing a few implements in 'vulnerable' gateways one evening in late june and noticed a noise from what I assumed was the rear diff.
The diff had obviously been rebuilt before I got it and someone had left out one of the two thrust washers, so the gears weren't meshing in the right place.
Stripped it down and chucked an empty axle back under.
Front wheel drive is better than nothing.

Always makes me smile,
That ground would be direct drillers heaven,
But it’s ploughed,
Whilst direct drillers struggle on heavy ground.

You could drill that with a triton that day instead of ploughing.

It is entirely up to you if you plough it is only others thoughts of other ideas it most likely produced a better crop as you know the land.

Please don’t stop posting, I for one love seeing what you do and where you do it and the conditions you are working in. I admire your skill and attention to detail, and you’re not worried about showing it. Have a good break Slim, have a good one.
