TD6 home at last

[bigkit]

Is this to the next instalment in the C P and M!

Bit dis-respectful not getting your mate Graham to drop it off with the multi axle monster............it 'ave looked good perched on the wheel arch!

Good luck

I did think of getting Graham ,but getting his rig up my mates yard was impossible. It was tight enough with the transport I used,low power lines and narrow lanes. Saw Graham last week hauling another big load.
And yes it may be in a future CPM.

Started doing a bit more on the TD6 today, freeing up linkages and getting ready to overhaul the steering clutches and brakes.Heavy rain came in and stopped play this afternoon. Must get a shed sorted out.

Got the radiator shutters working as they should.Waiting news on the starter motor.Will be working on the diesel fuel system (looking for a fuel filter element ) on Friday, got hold of a good fuel tank and will overhaul the fuel lift pump.Had a good chance to make an assessment of this tractor.It will need its brakes relined as there is not much meat on the bands.Also its gauges renewing.Easier to work on than a tracked loader.

Fitted starter,worked ok for a short while but needs a minor repair,hopefully.Started work on the running gear.Backed off the tracks a bit as they were too tight With the weather getting better hopefully will progress the restoration.

Motor now repaired after a replacement armature was sent from the states. Too longer screws were fitted by the chap in the U SA causing arking and damage to the armature.He supplied replacement parts for it.So hopefully progress will now be made.

TD 6 engine is now running, but a small pin hole in plate behind the fuel pump needs to be sorted as is leaking antifreeze. A few small diesel leaks and the pin hole in the plate to do next. Ran well after many years of inactivity
