Welcome to the channel.
A snapshot of life in rural North East England. Some farming, some servicing and repairs on the machinery. Some motorbikes and some of our beautiful scenery.
Hopefully you'll find it light hearted and maybe even educational. With a bit of luck we'll learn something too.

Pouring concrete for the new midden wall.
Man, did you take the load off me! Over the years, I've done about everything on my 65 of so that I've owned or brokered. But my current CL500 driver regulator broke so I thought I'll replace it. So, I did (after lots of stress with the plastic connectors) and put things back on the door only to discover that the window is about 5mm too low (first time at this style). Thought damn I've got to do this all over again! But several days later someone else has mess up the too so let's try youtube and there you were. What a load off my mine thanks to you and your video. Thumps up of course and I'll subscribe too. Talk about a Christmas Present! You Santa Claus Best to YOU, Douglas in sunny and warm Ormond Beach, Florida PS: I bought a "used one" from a company online $70. rather than pay the $464. from the stealership. Lubricate the cables and slides, so here goes!
Thanks for the comment, and the sub. I'm glad you found it useful....makes it all worthwhile. I bought a repair kit for mine, but it was a complete waste of time and money so I bought a cheap complete unit. It's been a year since I fitted it, with no problems so far ( touch wood ). We don't have the Florida sunshine here and we need our windows to close to keep out the rain. 😄 Good luck and a merry Christmas to you.
About to carry out this maintenance on our trailer very helpful step by step guide thanks 🥃
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you found it useful.
@15:25 High recognition factor! As if I had done the calculations myself!
Thanks for watching. I don't always trust my own measurements.
It warms my heart to see that Health & Safety isn't getting in the way of doing a good job in the North of England, keep up the good work
A full risk assessment was carried out, and a method statement was drawn up. And the big bad wolf ran away and everyone lived happily ever after.
Nice welding looks really robust nice job👍👍
Hello and thank you. I'm busy editing the next video on the feeder bedder. We've given it a bit of an overhaul.
Great informative and top tip with hose pipe brilliant idea thanks for posting 👍👍🍺
Hello and thank you. It's an easy and cheap way of preventing wear on the outer cables.
Can I know the outer bearing size?
Hello and thanks for watching the video. I'm sorry, I don't know the bearing size. We bought the new one from the main dealer rather than a bearing supplier so we didn't get an exact measurement.
Pimp my ride lol, heated seats! someone is getting soft
Not me.....honest! It's for farmer Giles. 😄
Good to see you still know how to batch concrete after all these years
No QS rmc to worry about.
I wonder what concrete grade this is?
I'm sure it's a good c40 mix. 😉
Should look nice when it's done
Thanks. We haven't decided how to finish it off yet.
How about the rear drivers side window height adjustment. Same sort of thing? How is that one done?
I've never done a rear window, but I would guess it's the same sort of thing.
Did you do you auto up and down recalibration with the window switch.
I didn't, but it might be a good idea to do one.
Tidy job that young man. Never easy welding galv, have plenty of experience on cow cubicles, gates, frames and such like.
Thanks. It's not the best stuff to weld...and fairly toxic.
A day in the life eh
More like 3 days 😀
Jobs a goodn
Bigg al been on tthe weetabixx 😊
He needs to keep his strength up.
well done Morgan, doing a cracking job, im getting some of them for my place soon much better than blocks
Thanks. Better, easier and cheaper 👌
much faster than building a wall 👍
Easier and cheaper, plus, if you decide that you want to change anything they can be lifted out.
How thick are the panels
The panels are 100mm thick.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing this. Very similar setup to the Polaris Ranger front final drive. Helpful to see! 👍
No problem. Thanks for watching. The front wheels on the John Deere are smaller than the rear wheels, so if you're on hard ground in 4 wheel drive the front diff winds up. That seems to be what causes the problem.
useful vid 👍
Thanks. I hope it's helpful to someone.
That Disco looks like its ready for take off 😂
By the time it retires it will have done enough miles to get to the moon and back.....it's done 250k already.
very good vid 👍
Thank you 👍
Legend thank you ❤
Thanks for watching.
Excellent informative video, and very helpful to those of us with MFs looking for some practical tips on how to do work on our own tractors. Unlike a lot of other channels, you actually show and explain everything you do. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the positive comment. If I make a video that helps somebody then that makes it all the more worthwhile, especially when we all know how expensive it can be to get a tractor repaired.
Run a beed of weld on the ID of those cups they will fall out
Thanks for the advice. That's what I did.
Support for your channel 👍 👍👍.

Your cock-ups can save others a lot of time and money, keep up the good work
I hope it does help someone Dave. We'd get nowt done if we weren't prepared to make a few mistakes along the way.
Very helpful video and just what I needed right now as I have an Ifor to do at the moment. Getting the hub nuts loose is already the first problem but I've just ordered a heavier bar and 3/4" drive socket. Thanks, once I'm past the hub nuts issues, then the rest of this will be incredibly helpful.
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you find it useful.
You and 'The Persuader' made that look easy
Me and the power of editing. There was quite a bit of hammering edited out.
Good stuff M

Dont get stuck in a rut mate 😂
If in doubt, give it a clout
Keep up the good work mate
A rubber band holding those bearings in the plastic would help.
@bc2551 Good idea. Thanks for the comment.
Shit steel from China 😂😂😂
@cheguevara5560 There's too much of it unfortunately.
Worth watching a bite of maintenance can save you a lot of money. 👍 🇮🇲
Thanks for the comment. That's true. A lot of these maintenance jobs aren't too difficult either.
I've just had this exact problem on my CLS320, tyre fitter for the previous owner has buzzed all the nuts on to a ridiculous degree, it took all 16 stone of me on the end of a 3ft bar to crack the hex bolts loose so obviously the locking nut snapped just like yours. I've got hold of a new key but not sure how I'm going to get this locking nut out! I've got some reverse thread female stud extractors coming so hopefull they work...
@stevendcruze7395 I don't understand why mine were so tight, I put them on myself and I never overtighten them. If they needed to be so tight the car manufacturers would supply a longer wheelbrace. The best way to get them off is to split the outer ring with a good quality sharp steel chisel then use the stud extractor. Hope that helps.
I just got an ifor williams trailer second hand that I needed to do this maintenance on. I bottled it though and dropped it off at Hexham trailers. Nice to hear another Northumbrian. I'm just down the road in Blyth. Very informative video.
@lifeoftreedom, thanks for the comment. One of the reasons for the channel is to help others to do some of these jobs themselves. I'm not trained in anything, and still make plenty of mistakes , but if I can do it, then so can you. I was born and raised in County Durham, but my fatha was born in Blyth, so I've probably got a bit of a hotchpotch of dialects in there...mixed with a lot of mumbling. Stay safe in the treetops and good luck with your channel.
Excellent work. I really enjoyed the honest commentary. Thank you for sharing
Thanks @Gazman. We're just a couple of regular guys trying to to do our own maintenance. We prefer to tell it as it is. I've just uploaded a video showing where we went wrong in this video.
Great video just what I needed. Can I ask if you are using 45 socket? I’ve got 46 and it feels a bit slack on the nut. Cheers.
It’s a 45mm, just finished servicing mine.
@almusti. I can't remember, but I'll check tomorrow when I'm back at work.
@@61specialthank you in advance!
As Angus 57 says, it's probably 45mm but I must have used a 46mm as I've just checked my socket set and I don't have a 45mm. Hope that helps.
Thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video!
Glad it was helpful!
great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
What was wrong with the auto? Guessing it's 8 speed, which I thought was bulletproof?
Yes, it is an 8 speed. It was jumping gears. There were quite a lot of bits of metal in the filter. For the price of a second hand box it wasn't worth the hassle of finding out what the problem was. We got the box from the same people that we got the engine from and they're pretty reliable.
If you do work on range rovers you will never be short of work . AA 1 of the most called out to cars
Very true. That's why we have 2 Discoveries.....They're still the best all rounder for what we do though.
Wow that 3rd one would have defeated me, how did it go so tight?
Hi @AngusAbbott-qf8xm I'm not sure how, but it was seriously tight. I had the same problem with my locking wheel stud on the car. I broke two sockets trying to get one off. It was only two months since I had the wheel off and I definitely didn't over tighten it. One of life's mysteries.
Haha same here mate 😂 keep at it M
What u growing son 😁
I'm going to have a go at tomatoes, green beans and weeds. No prizes for guessing which will be the most successful.
