The cab back is on, I made good use of the trouble light I got for Christmas. The front bumper is also on. Next I need to do more cleaning and painting.

Had a setback today, the field high/ low change wouldn't work with the chev transfur case mounted properly, it had been hooked up to a ford case bolted direct to the cross member. So I had to cut it out and clean and paint the tower out of the doner, it has a plate welded inside so it only changes high/low.

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

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
