You could probably buy one of those cheap Norm.They haven’t had much luck with Combines this year,as the ground is to wet to get them on some of the fields because of their weight.
Cheers Dave.

Paddy fields would be a good idea Norm.There is a field of potatoes in front of our bungalow which they have got about a dozen rows out the other week.It looks as if the rest of them will rot in the ground. 
Cheers Dave.

Attempting to rise spuds in the field in front of our place a couple of weeks ago.They packed in soon after these pics were taken because it was too wet.

Another hit and run, and the thread goes in to the distant past. I remember being on the Hamilton services in January and a few ran their engine in 1980’s I think it dropped to 28 below, I was in my small DAF, it started up, and I towed a few to get them started. 
I remember being parked up at Penrith Truck Stop one night 1981 Freezing conditions wagon stuck all over the place with frozen fuel problems both sides of the M 6 for miles, I didnt have that problem, because an old pal of mine also a haulage man where I filled up with fuel told me to add a gallon of petrol when I filled up, My wagon had a 90.Gallon tank, & It worked, still bloody cold though, I still have the sleeping bag I used in those days, its an outdoor one the mountain climbers used, & I never felt cold at any time even in my Leyland Clydesdale with a home made bed. Happy days, Regards Larry.
Yes Larry when on the M/E I always put 10% petrol in my tanks, but it always paid to give a stir before you went to bed, specially if you had a nightheater, the pipes was so small, the slightess waxing would cause the heater to shut off. I have been yery hot and very cold, I prefer the hot. Remember the film " Some like it Hot!

nightwatchman I only got payed for driving not guarding as well, a bit too
fond of the home comforts that was my problem, “shut that door” driver in

Sounds as if you may need to put the bed up on axle stands if we get the amount of rain they are forecasting Harry.

hiya,
I don’t expect the rain would lap anywhere near my bed legs Dave i’m way
above sea level, although quite a bit of the town is prone to flooding, it’s a
pretty safe bet our house is immune from the dreaded water, besides the
axle stands and ramps went oe’r the tip a few weeks ago with the rest of the
implements of torture (tools), sorry pet I can’t fix that I’ve got no gear, but
I know a man who has.

I can’t believe that you sent them to the tip Harry.The price of scrap is still fairly high.Also for decent tools you could haave sold them.I expect you have them hidden away. Shh I won’t tell your missus.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
I did offer them for sale and a guy (car booter) I think he was offered me
coppers for them, I had moved them from the garden shed to the car boot
so they could be seen by anybody who was interested, after his daft offer
I closed the boot and took the lot to the local free tip, “the prick” who did
turn up to view my stuff was on about “nothing moving” and i’ll give you 10p
for this 5p for that so I just told him to “go away” to be fair there was quite
a bit of AF and Whit among them but would have been enough metric gear
to have put a decent modern toolkit together, there was a Britool socket set
as well 1/4",3/8" and 1/2" square drive.
thanks harry, long retired.
Talk of waxing fuel reminds me of my nemesis, the dreaded “adolph’s revenge” LPS1418. The fuel filters were set just behind the offside front wheel. I once had the breakdown fitter attend to my motor twice between the Dishforth roundabout and the A61 turn on the A1, He then followed me to Thirsk where I was tipping, just to make sure I was ok. This fitter worked for Wilson’s of Boroughbridge, their depot was where Reed Bordall is now. Like Larry said we used to put a gallon of petrol in the derv to try to stop the waxing, but that caused other problems with the 1418, the
engine was so “well run in” 
after about six years hard graft it finally gave up altogether and needed a rebuild. Regards Kev.
