Omletina Kyckling Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Oh lummy, I expect we will be watching this. Hubby is partway through restoring a tractor. We have a 1971 David Brown 990 Selectamatic and he's restoring it back to original condition. Most of this work is being done in the house, and I really mean "in the house" rather than "in house" - the conservatory has a makeshift spray booth in it, and the kitchen is used for drying sprayed parts due to the Rayburn. I haven't been able to use the dining room for months as it is full of parts, at the moment the bonnet is next to the dining room table, and quite a bit of cab and instrument panel is on the table. I can tell what colour he is spraying at any one time, as his hair and beard is that colour. He was sporting Poppy Red a month or so ago and started to take on a Billy Connolly kind of look Once Erik (the tractor's name) is finished, I'm told we will use him to do the Asda run and other local trips I think local residents already think we are a bit strange, but this may be the final straw. Is this normal?! I'll try to post some photos of it so you can see what I'm talking about!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 As per my previous message, here is Erik when he first arrived home and here is Helga checking the tread on his tyres and here he is part restored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone round here knows we're mad so they won't bat an eyelid to know we've got strange friends . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missuscluck Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Ooooh noooo Tractors This is our Ferguson TE20. We have got assorted vintage stuff. The fergie is hubbys pride and joy. I dont complain about it as he used to have a 10 ton steam roller so this is a walk in the park in comparison. Hes out at band practice so I guess I better go and 'plus' it for him.

Omletina Kyckling Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 OOOhhh a grey Fergie, now that is seriously nice! I'd better not let hubby see this, if he thinks others have had steam rollers he might think we need one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 OMG James is IN LOVE with Eric. Help me! You'd better not tell him you're coming to my craft weekend in August and that Erik will be finished and available for rides up the fields by then!!

missuscluck Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Im sure my oh with be very impressed with your David Brown. Me however... I have that wind rushing over head feeling when it comes to tractors and the like. My son is totaly addicted to vintage too. He is saving up his pocket money and his current want is to build a scale model steam engine. He already has a Lister D stationary engine which he is doing up so he can start doing the shows. He's 13. I bet Pengy's James will have a great time having a tractor ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
