Your neighbour would claim off his insurance co for any damage from your trees. His insurance co will likely chase yours. Your renewal premium will likely go up. You pay in the long run.

Hmm, i don't have insurance. Land not attached to the house. Just a patch of land in the country, with nothing in it at the minute.

Anyone rising new spuds yet?

Had some of the Da in laws last night and they were big.

Good growing weather it seems.

I'm replacing badly rusted exhaust pipe on MF35.

I've the exhaust clamp off so in theory only need to lift the pipe straight up and off but the rust is so bad the thing ain't budging even after spraying with copious WD40.

Any suggestions as to what to do next? Does it help if the pipe is hot and when do I resort to a hammer and chisel?

If you can get a bit of heat onto it with a torch it should start to free it up along some gentle persuasion with the hammer. Just be careful not to burn anything else!!

If that doesn't work, run a small angle grinder up the part of the exhaust thats rusted onto the feed pipe, gently though.

that should release a bit of the pressure.

Manys a young lad learned the joys of side breaks on the MF35's and 135s when scraping out the byres after milking.

We'd a 135 when I was very young, but by the time I was old enough to learn, the auld boy have moved up to a bigger Ford tractor in his attempt to wring a living out of the wet Donegal hills.

Even that would look like a Matchbox toy compared to what you see about the roads these days though!

I'm in the market for a 135 myself.

If she's not blue, she won't do. The Father in Law still uses an old Ford 5000 daily and still has a wee Fordson Dexta he got back in the early 60s. The also have a MF but it's a source of some embarrassment.

How much is a 50 year old 135 these days?
