Look at the length of the vice handle top of page 3! haha

I imagine a few of the workers had a nice tap on the shin from that bugger.

Yeah, I did. I would love to bring back some of those trucks from Franz Josef land. I love the look of some of those old Russian military vehicles.

An automotive technician wouldn't know what I'm trying to do here, but a plain ordinary mechanic would know the drill. It's 15 years since I reamed a kingpin bush, but I've done so many in the past it doesn't require much thought. I've already done the front axle pivot pin and bushes, next the kingpins, ball joints (welded on the power steering rams!) and a new power steering pump....which has different fittings.





Oh, anyone looking for a job?

Seat looks after market?

Ah, could be, I wasn't looking when I pulled it down. There is an International 454 in front of it, and another Fergy out side...and a Ford with a flat rear tyre. It's good farmers don't indulge in the throw away society and keep fixing their gear to keep it going. A bit of grease would go a long way though.....

Yeah but the gap between seat and steering wheel........ looks longer, wasn't the 8 series the same as the 5 series but had a few extra inches in the bell housing. to make it easier to get on and off.
Come on Motu what is it?

The only grease most farmer know is the stuff they used to put on cows teats.

I reckon thats the angle of the pic, plus the dash panel and other stuff removed.

Looks too small for a 165....lights are low in the grill. Went looking for a full half turn freeplay, and looked at the steering box first, so all that area is apart too....then saw where all the extra movement was. The other Fergy has totally flogged out bushes and pins in it's front loader bracket, never seen grease since it was new. By the time we cut the brackets off, make new ones and weld them on it might be a better bet to buy a new one.
