What are you up to?

Yes you're right, its strapped forward, I'm going with pulling this into the headboard and driving carefully this time
with loader that's being fitted it would be too long so will be travelling backwards with bucket tipped down over trailer back and pulled down,
Its strictly for short journey's this combination in fact (if tractor went fast enough) I'd drive it down the road as its road legal

Dropped tractor off this afternoon, had the ignition light come on as I got home,
fan belt intact, heat normal, 11,5v across battery though, and then engine light came on as well,
code reader suggests alternator,
reading up in now appears the alternator may have blown the fusible link

looking at a thread on this with pictures this evening reminds me this has happened before and my garage pulled the big block of fuses out and soldered something last time, so maybe they can do it again or it'll be a new one but they don't look dear at least

Needed a new battery to replace the ten year old original it left Japan with



all good again.....

Just spent the morning replacing the fabric in the fly screen on one of Jackie's doors on her house in Leros. On account of the heat I've adopted a new working style. Do a bit, rest a bit, do a bit more. I think I suit the Mediterranean method.

Put a new battery on Hilux yesterday after trying Sue's on it to check, and all back to normal

all lights out, so just a (ten year old) factory fitted battery had failed
