Landy comes home

Itd only taken a week before I was back up to the farm with my money and a big six axle trailer thanks to a good buddy of ours! Wed decided to pull the jeep further back out of the field with the tractor and then pull it up on to the trailer with a pulley block. This had taken a bit of a while due to a lack of communication and no air in our tyres but before we knew it we were on our way back and within a couple o hours we were back in the country.

As soon as we got it back we filled the tyres with air (which actually worked) and then I spent about two hours power washing it inside and out. It took hours before wed got the battery but unfortunately even when we had the battery, the ignition was no good so we had to start the engine from under the hood. This also didnt work , the engine just kept turning over! After a while it was decided that wed tow the yolk behind the massey 135 and jam her into gear and hope for the best! This ofcourse had to be done with no brakes or clutch! It took three or four goes before some rumbles started coming out of the engine followed by mountains of smoke! she was working and running but wed only copped that there was no exhaust attached to the engine and the water was leaking from some pipe under the water pump.

we decided to tow it back and weld the exhaust which thanks to good ol Franky was 'only minor'. After that and the pull start, the series more or less started in one go!We decided to call it a day but by nine oclock that night there was four of us in the workshop trying to get the clutch and brakes going

I was in the jeep pumping the pedals while the boss was blowing out all the dust and muck from the hydraulics, within an hour the hydraulic had started pumping oil and then we closed it all up and connected her back up to the lines . . it took us another while to actually beat the pedal down to actually get the oil to reach the cluch, but after having two feet on the pedal, it didnt take us long

and heres the old massey that did the donkey work!
