I thought I would ask what you have purchased from ebay to go behind your tractors on ebay auctions,

mine so far are a tipping transport box and a kidd saw bench both where good buys in my book.

 
I have just bought a mf 35;)! it was only 680!!!!:) never bought any implements on ebay i find it better to buy them at machinery sales like cambridge and montford bridge ect.. you get all morning to check them and its a nice day out;)
 
Good buy was it a 3 or 4 cylinder. as I am unable to drive at moment ebay is best bet for me. I got a mf 35 for 530 quid locally through ebay.
 
It is 4 cylinder:( but i have fitted extra-big heater plugs;) so it starts just like a 3 cylinder:D have you ever been to montford bridge? Judging by your name you come from wales? Go to www.hallsestateagents.co.uk and click agricultural then collective sales and you will get a choce of "forton" sale and "stone" sale forton is the montford bridge sale;) its just like a miniture cambridge;) there are 3 auctions going at the same time:eek: so if you can't run dont go;) the auctioneers swap at lunch time with the clerk so he sells for a few hours until the other auctioneer comes back;) it a really "wacky" day;) the next sale is on the 5th of may so dont miss it;) the ideal place if you want some new tools or a implement;)
 
yes I am in mid wales and heard of the montford bridge auctions as was living a few miles from there when working in shrewsbury then moved and never seamed to have a day off when sale was on. but we have now shobdon sales near to me so will take a look down there once back on road, how did you fit the extra heater plugs in cylinder head or inlet?

 
Well:) I got this idea;) if air is thicker when warm;) then it will find it harder to escape from the cylinders??? thus rising the compression ??? so i drilled 2 holes in the inlet manifold directly between every 2 inlet holes in the head;) so every 2 cylinders gets the same amount of "hot" air;) the plugs i got off an old daihatsu 4x4, fitted nice in the holes after threading them;) then i got a wire from the heat switch to the plugs and gave it a try:D and it worked:cool: not perfect but 2 times better than no heat;) DONT!!! use easy start with this contraption!!!!!!:censored: or the air cleaner will have flames coming through it;);) the proper way is to take the head to an enginneer to drill holes in it;) and fit them like on diesel cars;) you can use the "silly-massey" thermostat pre heater but its useless69) it has the same idea as my contraption;) but 10 times more complicated:sneaky: nice to see another welsh man on this site:D i was getting loneley:(. why am i typeing in iaith y sais????
