almost no progress!

Hmm well, summers gone, winters here and nothing much has changed. Ah well, I'd like to have lots of excuses but in reality, things like having an extension built, and general chores have taken up some time, the rest is down to spending time in the workshop but not actually progressing much!

However I'm now putting in place my cunning plan to make more use of the land rover.

Step one has been to acquire a genuine agricultural draw bar
Step two has been to get a rear PTO

Step three will be to fit both and either build a 3 point hitch to attach implements or find old trailed implements . To this end I'm looking for a topper/mower so that I can top the horses paddock next year.

I'm going to be making a start on rebuilding the PTO soon, having now tracked down the bearings (timken 1985/1932 for anyone else doing the same)


One thing that has progressed a little is that I've sourced some of the parts needed to rebuild the side rockers, so that'll be a winter job I think

expect soem updates on the pto etc soon!
