nothing broke
its just the type of oil i put in wasnt thick enough for this kind of heat we are having so liquid grease it is
my new slogan = BNS trading
Bodge it N Scarper
seriously though it is my own fault for using 15 - 40 oil insted of liquid grease cause it was cheaper

i fixed the oil leak by filling the final drive with liquid grease it has the consistency of treacle
i also fixed the brakes so i can stop before i crash into the pond
all i need now is to wire the dashboard

they were cheap because i know the tyre dealer very well and he owed me a favour

this tractor has that wondeful thing called engine braking
if i take my foot of the gas the engine does all the braking for me
it works cause the fuel pump stops feeding the injectors so much fuel and so the engines rpm slows down therefore so does the tractor
What if something had happened to you?
i never even gave that a thought
are you mad??

a somewhat sad ending to this tractors story happened today
i sold it at auction and the hammer fell at £2000 GBP
this tractor and i have been through some good ( and bad
and sad
) times
i know its not the done thing to grow attached to a machine ...
but yes ...
there was a tear in my eye as the hammer fell and it made its way out without me at the helm
i just hope its new owner takes as much pride in it as i did
it never let me down and its the one tractor that stood up to everything i dished out to it
farewell SBT 867N

I understand why it went to auction and know what you're pursuing. Hopefully you'll be able to land the tractor of your dreams soon and this portion will help finance that dream.
Good luck bud.

hard times are harsh. I have been going through them for the past 3 1/2 years. I know how you feel.
But you got a bright future ahead of you. Is there even any land to drive a tractor in Denmark?
