The green one´s most like my F4L 514.
Same rattling noise from the cylinders as there´s no " engineblock" with waterchannels to muffle the noise.
That noise can blow yer ears out
Imagine me RV with that V12 cylinder engine in it instead of the 4 cylinder, inline engine

Well.. I keep on dreaming

LOL know that 'feeling' :huh:

..... used to run a Demag HC75 ... :smile:

great motor though .... as long as you kept it 'on song' ..... fuller road ranger 13 speed box behind it .... slick shifts kept the deutz singing :lmao:

...and what a song!!! :cool:

Love every moment when out driving me monster :thummar:

The first 10-15 kms one listens to all the different sounds, gearbox OK, rear axle OK, :grin:

Then after some more kms one reaches Nirvana :levitera:

or something like it! :driver:

No sychronized gears and no servosteering, air assited hydraulic brakes which one handles with utmost care, or one´s stuck to the windshield like a stamp on an envelope :mrgreen:

That is driving :driver:

Saturday started with ......... torrential rain :sad:

.... but the sun was out by the time we'd done the hour to Welland ! :thumme:

stayed that way til about 3 and then it caught us up !!!!!! :aaargh:

someone'd got a challenge on their hands .... presumably from the auction the previous day !! :vissla:

Clara'd loved watching the 'little diggers' in the RC display tent .... credit to the folks who put it on .... amazing small scale gear .... then she decided she needed to see the "big ones" up in the 'playpen' on the hill. :grin:

Unfortunately by the time we'd trudged up there they all got tired of the mud too and given up for the day ... :sad:

checking out Martin Ashfield's traxcavator :thummar:

Many thanks to Dehane, who offered her a ride in his mule .... she'd have loved it .... if she hadn't had an eppy ..... don't think she's ever seen anyone quite that tall before !!! :uupps:

All in all and in spite of the bloody horrendous weather in the afternoon/evening, a good time was had by all. nice to have time with some old faces and meet a few new ones ..... :thumme:

two months of glorious weather and it had to piss down for Welland weekend .... sod's law!!!! :aaargh:

and yes we've had more than enough wet stuff here too, the last 48 hrs .... :sad:

aided by the serious hooley that accompanied the precipitation and stuck around after it stopped. :sad:

This is going to mean a return to the mowing regime ... had almost forgotten what that's like !! :huh:

We had the pleasure of a visit from Doobin off the CEF and his good lady Sunday , down in God's country for a wander about ... sure chose the right weekend to kick it off with :eek:

I blame him for the weather .... was fine, 'til he arrived in Wales, Friday night !!!!!! :sad:

**#1030** » 00:52:45, 31-07-2018

forgot to say that I'd managed to get this reasonably leveled out and all tracked in on Friday last week :thumme:

... remember Numbawun of the CEF saying that, the ol' twins do a decent job of flatting it down with 15t rolling about on it :grin:

... good job too with all the wet stuff over the weekend ... :vissla:

"Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it"

Here in Sweden we would love some rain.
I have not dared to use nor the angle-grinder or the weld,
an angry look on the grass is enough to start a fire.

**#1032** » 10:36:42, 31-07-2018

See it from the bright side, it does not dust. :mrgreen:
