I expect by the time I'm done I will have spent nearly a million.  :'(

Z, does the million cover parts as well... ???

(I couldn't resist...)

Definitely not Bert, the million $ is just for me accepting the job.

If it's any consolation just remember that we U.K. owners pay up to 30% more for parts from the U.S. after the U.K. government parasites have had their fill. :'(

Hardy, every chrome part on the bike was re chromed.

Z, Maybe Richard could set up a satellite store there in the U.K. and then no import taxes for you to pay.  Waite, maybe he would have to pay them and then raise the prices to you guys to cover his expenses.   Oh well just a thought.  Harry

Maybe there could be some clandestine movement of parts, you know, cloaks, daggers, trenchcoats, rain, dead of night. Could be a lucrative little sideline....lol
Oops, the parasites (we have then here too Z) are probably monitoring our posts. 8) ::) 8)

Oh I can't compete against a quote so low, I mean Steve uses child labor, I've seen photographic evidence on this site.

I withdraw the offer of my services. authorities informed. :D

Sorry, Steve but I'd better save my money for other projects.  I have a 49 Farmall cub that also needs attention.  Harry

The first tractor I was allowed to drive by myself (not on Dad's lap) was a Farmall cub set up for row crops (offset seat/steering). Now I've got a JD 2520 HST.

This thread seems to have been hijacked Colin, I think they are talking about Harley Davidsons.

Yes, this thread has been hijacked by tractor heads and a discussion of what Steve's kids are up to. I think its awesome and what makes our BS world go around. Lots of interseting things BS and other distractions. Personally I love it.

You're spoiling those kids Steve.

Colin has a Harley Davidson, some refer to those as being agricultural. ;)

Tractor heads? That's a new one on me, strange what people get up to in different parts of the world but then again we have grown adults here who share a common interest to own and restore 60s motorcycles from one particular manufacturer, this is known to cause pain, grief and anxiety, how weird is that?

Hay Guys, Instead of filling up this forum with tractor talk try www.FarmallCub.com.  It's a great forum like this one for all types of Farmall tractors and owners. They answer questions fast and with great info. just like this site.  But they are not in to green stuff.  Harry

Since I think I started the tractor tangent, my appologies.
Harry, I'll check out the link thanks, but I am a green guy. ;D
Z, there is no end to wierd pursuits. This one just happens to be my personal favorite, followed closely by good Cabernets.

Well I had the GTR running this afternoon, it ran really good starting second kick and first kick thereafter. As expected carbs leaking so it's back to try this then try that, I covered this same ground last time and only cured it by fitting a NOS pair of carbs from RC, sadly they are no more.
