Stuck in my garden

Whilst digging a new soakaway in my garden with my Ransomes MG6 backacter I made the mistake of going back over the open trench. The side collapsed and in trying to extricate myself I managed to lose a track. After an hour or so with a jack and some boards the track was back on and my neighbour pulled me out with a Dexta no harm done.

Hello Jonathan,
Bit of bad luck there
That's a rare animal you have there, nice to see it earn it's keep.
Is it the one I photographed at Tractor World
(See below).
If so I remember chatting to you.
Fred

Yes it is apparently they used to make them for MG Crawlers as a drop in pod so I asked them to make me a new one.
