Nearly two days of cleaning and a couple of hours painting, I'm starting to see the finish, only one months work left for next week

And where would we be without fencing wire!

Yes verry handy indeed, cheep too if you cut it out of a neighbours fence

I must say a great effort, under what I suspect some trying conditions.

I think I would have become a farmer/sprayer if I known you got great lady TA's as well Grin

Every time the kids pop up in your photos, how quickly they are growing, a credit to you and your lady.

All the best have a safe trip to Corowa

Regards

Col thanks for the comments the boys are growing up fast.
The budget is almost gorne so I have resorted to useing what's in the shed. Today I solid mounted an XD muffler and added a length of flexable to the pipe, I also made a flange gasket from a length of No. 10 wire and sealed it with copper selastic it has quitened the old girl down nicely. I also replaced the doors, mudguards and rest of the floor plates today

Only remembered today that I would need a spare. So after sanding the cab top and seats and fitting mirrors I started to remove the old tyre from the spare rim, the tube still had air in it. The first side came off in half an hour but the second side is deeper than the thread on the beed breaker so I will have to go around again with blocks under the breaker

Is your bead breaker a currently available tool or one of those wonderful simple pieces of kit that still serve a purpose but just can't be found in this modern age? You've probably seen lots of us commenting on how much work it is to take tires off CMP rims. It seems that your tool has all that is needed. It clamps to the rim to hold it in place and uses a simple screw to press down on the tire carcass. Has someone been using a cheater bar on the handle of the screw and bending it? If so does that mean that the machine is at the limits of its capacity working on these tires?
If it is a current piece of kit, what is the maker/source? Thanks.
