Fergie update day.

 

I stripped the fuel tap, replaced all the gaskets and put it back together.  It was very sticky.

Pictured here after we removed the fuel tank for cleaning.

@Jimbob McGregor replaced most of the coolant hoses, and his lad replaced the old sparkalaters.

The correct V5C is on the way thanks to some assistance from @LightBulbFun

Hence, the small case of mistaken identity has been removed and revealed some filler but nothing catastrophic.

And we pulled the tank to sloosh it out down at the garage 

We need some blue coolant, a battery, and some fuel.

yay happy to see an update on this old girl  

and yeah im very happy to have been able to help you out there to get its V5 and and reunite it with its original Identity  

(and its good to know my skills, are applicable for other vehicles and not just Invacars as well! LOL  )

I am looking forward to future updates

V5 has now arrived and the tractor is taxed.  Number of former keepers: 1.

If only the frigging thing ran.  Still, there's time!

Woo!  

Yeah until you got it, it had no keeper changes since it was computerised, the old V5's used to tell when that was done, it would say No of Keepers Since such and Such date

(as the keeper counts did not carry over from the old buff logbook system so it was the DVLC's way of saying "before this date it may of had 100 keepers just a heads up")

but sadly modern V5's have not had that date for a few years now

although going by how this has had no keeper changes before you but had a V5 issued in 1982, I would say that unless the Farmers sheep ate the original V5 and he had to get a duplicate issued or he changed some personal details, I want to say that it was computerised in 1982

which makes me wonder if it was either laid up for a while before then or just not taxed and used off road completely for a while, as most vehicle in active on road service (ie being taxed) where computerised by the Late 1970's from what I have researched

Shit! that  would be the perfect London commuter vehicle then

you never get above 12Mph anyhow LOL

and im guessing this is a bit like the JCB where you dont change gears on the fly but more select the gear you want beforehand

so just fit it with a centrifugal clutch and it would be perfect LOL

The idea of commuting through London on a Fergie is giving me naughty thoughts. I'd definitely give it a go!

Went camping.

Car van thing is good.

Fuck me are we pleased to be home though, everywhere south of the A66 seems to be built up.  There were more folk on the campsite than live in our village!

Rusty crashed car is rusty and bent.

What happened @loserone?

[loserone]

@yes oui si had an unfortunate incident with two deer.

 

 

[BeEP]

One deer achieved this a couple of weeks ago to a friend's 620.  Sadly the deer came off worse.

[loserone]

This old socket set looks useful.

Drill out the hinges

Might work.

Paint it black

Use a template

That'll do.  Should have used a decent brush 🖌️

The bonnet opens and shuts doesn't it? 

 

Need to see if the underside can be made solid.

Yes, where and how much.

[DVee8]

I don't know any more details yet, its a wedding we are doing next year on a farm in Hamsterley. They said it would be gone ,they would get rid of the tractor before the wedding. 

[loserone]

I suspect that will be snapped up by someone in the Hamsterley Vintage Tractor Club

[loserone]

Went to work.  Have some pictures

 

Adders are great.

What wheels did you buy to warrant the sale of this?!

 

[Lacquer Peel]

Are those Escapade models jacked up a bit compared to normal Partners?

[loserone]

Yes, 30mm at the front and 3mm at the back.

 

Apparently there's supposed to be a sump guard too but I've never seen one yet.

[loserone]

Went green laning with @task.

Isn't that a rebadged Mitsubishi or something?

[MorrisItalSLX]

It looks like a Mitsubishi Outlander, but with a French accent and a beret.
