Re: TD6 home at last
Will do,the battery in my camera is flat . She runs well in diesel mode when she has been stood for years, surprised by that .Fixed the pinhole in the cover by brazing it.Slight diesel leak on the sedement trap. Once that is sorted will give it a functional test.If it works ok, may take it out to a local show to blow the cobwebs out of it. The last time it was at a show was 11 years ago.She has not been run for 8 or 10 years

Engine running fine on petrol and diesel, need to sort out the compression change over latch though. Will now try to free up the steering clutches.Poor weather stopped work again.

Re: TD6 home at last
The tractor is progressing ,can't do much for a week or so because of night shifts so have been busy stocking up with spares for the TD6 to fit to it and to keep it running in the future.The engine runs good but not 100% happy as its hard to start on the handle.I intend to give the head an overhauls along with steering clutches and brakes.

Re: TD6 home at last
I must admit that I could do with a break, back in on days in the morning, Dorset Steam fair Saturday and then six day turns in a row.
Moved the tractor fleet around.Getting some ready for the next event. The D4 dozer has had a check over and run up, all ok.
