    Geez its been a while...couple of trips south to catch up with the usual suspects and a fair bit of work on the donk.

    Had to park up the bucket of bolts due to a dicky starter...to many mud baths...had to replace it in the end...also a leak in the timing cover...thankfully the cooling fluid was coming out and not into the oil space.

    Replaced the clutch and brake boosters but still I need to sort out the slave...it may be leaking air somewhere. Goes spongey after a bit then need to pop the bleed at the top to reset it every now and then.

    New upgraded waterpump as the bearing in the old one shit itself...full clean out and reseal of timing gear cover and cavity.
    Upgraded oil pump while I had the cover off...which now keeps the pressure up on idle when hot but had to replace the harmonic balancer due to roughing it up to pop the torque cone to get it off.

    Pulled all the injectors...all 6 had cavitation and didn't pass 1200 without leaking or weeing everywhere...pretty sure they are sposed to pass 1450 or so ...snapped the return rail when doing the removal so had to replace it as well.

    Retouqued and check all engine components and fixings then a full flush and service pack...

    Runs like a proper tractor now...but clean n no leaks.

    Was looking forward to running a few trips out this year but due to injury and illness I have been either working my ass off or stuck on the couch all year.

    Ah well...such is life eh...

    Did catch the crew for a camp out and salmon hunt but wasn't able to catch any...mind you the rest of em recon they caught a pile the next day while I was on my way back home. Just dandy.

    Not much more to report except the bucket is just rusting away in the backyard in A1 mechanical condition. Needs some body work and a respray one day.

    Cheers Stropp,

    Had a good time...still need to sort Clunk out for the battery loan.

    Got some pics of some dodgy campers while we were there...and one pick of the illusive Ford mariner that Nahnah acquired.

    Well its been a while but I decided to pull the rear bar of and give it a spruce up...bit of a rub down, wash and then I used etch primer on the powder coating...topped it with black rust kill gloss...came up alright...just waiting for it to go hard...

    Also dropped the trol down on some 33s on steel 16x8 neg 22 D hole rims. Looks a bit different but the NA will enjoy the extra torque when towing.

    Poor thing hasn't seen the road since March due to me being ill...looking forward to getting it out again soon. Its almost Xmas and we need a break from suburban crawl.
