Hi there, Andrew, I've been following your battle with the JCB. All I can say is 'Hang in there!'. :offtopic: but how many days hence is your daughter's wedding? Shall you post a photo or two? |

Hi Pete thanks for the interest. Yes wedding approaching like an out of control juggernaut - it's on Saturday 25th :bugeye: :bugeye: She (and I as father of the bride), will be delivered to Battle Abbey in an old Series 1 Land Rover (her choice :scratch: ) so no doubt my new clothes will be crumpled and oily, as will her dress :med: Then back to the farm for the reception - all the local hotels are now fully booked and also there's a fair few hardy souls bringing tents and caravans. As I type this we have light drizzle, which with 260 guests in a field will be horrendous - there will be marquees, but it's supposed to be al fresco with hay bales for out door seating areas and child play areas, and a hog (several actually) roast. I've been encouraging the happy couple to elope to Gretna Green but with no success so far :clap: |

The bodge is still dripping oil onto the left hand track, albeit at a greatly reduced rate, but it gave me confidence that it wouldn't develop into a major issue leaving the machine unmovable in a difficult place when I shifted those road planings. It's now back on the workshop forecourt on solid concrete where repairs are so much easier :thumbup: I've a new pair of tracks, idler sprockets and drive sprockets to fit, but I don't want oil on them un-necessarily hence definitely fitting the new block. |
