Stumbling around the woods I came across a large bramble patch hiding a little red tractor. It looked very sad - tyres were flat, pipes and fittings missing but mostly complete. Iasked the owner if I could purchase it and he said yes. Smalll sum of money changed hands and it was ALL MINE!! I pumped up the tyres, fitted a new battery, tried to turn the engine but it had seized. I took the starter motor out, turned over the engine with a crowbar, replaced the starter, poured diesel in the cylinder heads and with much grunting the engine began to turn and eventually fired. All excited I jumped up in the cab but the clutch was seized. After much mumbling under my breath and masses of timber, car jacks and ropes and pullies I split the engine from the gearbox to find the clutch was a solid block of rust. New clutch on order - further riviting installments to follow. Photographs to come when I work out how to put them on the blog. Help - can anybody send me a simple message and instructions on how to do this. Please remember that I am useless on a computer so it must be simple and idiot proof!!!!!!!! Thanking you in anticipation!!!!!!
