also, apparently no snow chains to put on in an "extreme weather" event like that...all respect goes to the farmer who did all the work and saved the driver and the public from waiting hours on the blocked road...

@@FiFtY2303 yeah the farmers do a fantastic job, somefarmers even plow the snow to help the local Councils / Goverment, yeah no snow chains either, if the UK goverment made a law that you have to have winter tyres and snow chains that could really help everyone

can be good driving on the fresh snow not where other vehicles been, that can help

​@@ScottishLad. We don't get extremes of snow and ice to warrant winter tyres. I agree if you're out in the Cairngorms or really rural Perthshire then you may benefit having a winter tyre, but haulage firms aren't going to spend the money on full winter tyres. They're all crying poverty. And the other problem is they don't last as long, cost more per unit and if the ambient temperature is too high can get very wrecked very quickly. I agree snow chains should be on every wagon but again the cost of equipping for a few days a year probably isn't worth the cost to a haulage company.

Haha! Thank you! I reckon i would of got alot further if i had the DiffLock in long before the hill, and had some speed up, and also keeping to the snow itself instead of someone elses track that had turned to ice. Hopefully tomorrow is a better one!

Yes, we were all on electric bikes

Hahaha! I definitely won't be getting hair like Dan. Got to keep looking good for the camera ;-) !

Full time on an artics for just under a year :D

Hellooo! :D

Thanks! I will post more soon

Yes. The roads we use all the time the TomTom or Garmin sends me off in the wrong places or recommends smaller roads. I could write paragraph are para why GMaps is better than the others. Also helps alot when you want to see different routes along the way, GMaps always shows different route while driving. And if you take a wrong turning then it doesnt want to turn you around to take you back, it will just go to the next main junction to take you the right way (still following the main intented route) Where as TomTom will want to keep turning you round even 5miles down the road and not offer a new route, then suddenly..... puts you through a weight restiction because it can't find another route which is correct. Example, going down to Camarthen from Newtown. It wants to send me across the Newbridge-on-Wye to Beulah road, but that is 7.5t. Even while saying that you are 44t. It still wants to send you there...

Everyone says that, but it's all about the timing and the slack in the chain. You need to get it exsctly right and then she'll be sweet to start!

I had one of those, it was a bear to start. Even upgraded the gloplugs and i installed a ford 5000c starter, it helped a little

I've just bought one which was rebuilt in 2019, and starts well (now that I have got the Thermostart working again!). I think the reputation stems from the 23c engine being a car/truck engine and needing car/truck levels of maintenance which they never got on farms to they would get abused and go out of time, and then not start. The later Perkins engine will run whatever, so was more suited to agricultural (ab)use...

23C engine. It's the early 4 cylinder before they changed it to the perkins 3 cylinder 👍🏼

Massey purchased Perkins Engine Company in 1959. Prior to that They ( Massey ) purchased Engines from outside Companies. The 2.3 liter Engine ( 139 Cubic Inch ) was made in England.

Aww unlucky! Very hard to find 2nd hand parts for certain bits these days

@@TomFewtrell no tom my got the hole in the top from factory with the oil bath tube and pre cleaner iam in Australia so that be why maybe

Thank you! 👍🏼 Very pleased with the outcome 🚜

If you mean the part in videoing at around 0:40 secs, then that is the pre heater, like a glow plug. It sprays a fine most into the inlet manifold and it catches fire inside so that when you start it's warm/hot air going in. Works very well!

@@TomFewtrell aah perfect to know, thanks a lot!

If you have a 1959 model then there might not be an Thermostart (pre heater) but instead there are 4 glow plugs on the left hand side of the cylinder head.

If only.... We have the original dial somewhere but all the numbers have come off

What time in the video is this and I'll let you know
