I'm so jealous.. I do not have the time or abillity to do such work..I also wish i could afford an old tractor with a front loader..
Also noticed your axle stands ( blatant plug here) have you tried [b]melco[/b] axle stands, british made and the best value for long life. I hear they do other useful tools for farm vehicles and equipment..
sorry, I have been involved in the manufacture of these products all my life, as my granfather started the business, and now we are so quiet due to the recesion that it might be terminal.
