Hi to all,
Sorry for being missing in action for these last few months but I got my old Bedford CF set on fire and the same week my computer died, the guy who set fire to my Bedford was seen on my CCTV but the police said it was not clear enough.
However two weeks later he set fire to a supermarket but choose the paint section to light it up and died in the blaze, so been very hard at work trying to get my old Bedford back on the road, just need to find a speedo cable for it now and she will be road fit once again.

Hi stuuuz,
I do find the starting handle useful when the old Bedford has been sitting around in the wintertime.

Hi to all,
Yesterday the new needle and fuel jet arrived for my old Ransome vineyard tractor, when I seen what they wanted for a second-hand carb I thought it would be cheaper to replace the only two moving parts in the SU carb fitted to the tractor.
So with that done all I need to do now is reset the mixture and see what improvement that makes to its running at tick-over.
The Bedford starting handle is getting more use now on these colder mornings, saves a lot of battery power, Ign. on and one press of the pedal a fool turn of the engine and a sharp half pull and off she goes much to the entertainment of people passing at the time.

Hi to all,
My old Bedford will be going out to Scone Rally on the 9th of September which is a very good place to find spares and sell off any unwanted parts or tools.
This rally is ran by the tractor and engine club at Scone Palace near Perth Scotland, my own old tractor won't make it there this year due to a lack of suitable trailer transport but I might have a better arrangement by next year.
As a member of the tractor and engine club and having started my mechanical time on tractors I do enjoy seeing so many restored tractors at this rally.

Hi Guys.
Well the old Bedford made the round trip ok 216 miles, just home an hour and a half ago.
I will give it a check over tomorrow once she has cooled down, 22 miles to the gallon not bad of a high top with high mileage under its belt.

Hi to all,
My old Bedford gave me a scare on a short journey on Wednesday when the engine oil pressure dropped and the oil light came on, with a top up I managed to get home.
So it was strip down time to replace the oil seals on the pump pickup and then press in some light grease refit and retime the Ign timing and so far all is well.
Got a two hundred mile round trip this weekend so let's hope all well.

Hi you guys.
Good to hear from you all, I will try to get a picture of my old Bedford CF up loaded to the site.

Hi Jeff,
The axle is a Salisbury 4.454-1 light commercial with the high geared gearbox and J type overdrive.

Hi wendyh and Stuart,
Just got back from a trip north to Rannoch with the grand kid's they had a great time on a very basic woodland site up there and the old Bedford ran well three gallons to sixty miles well loaded, on single track roads.
My old tub is not worth a photo she is not pretty but she goes well for a thirty seven year old Bedford CF.
I am a member of both of the clubs mentioned but I have seen more life in a tinkers vest!

Hi to all,
I have decided to sell off some of the tools that I have no use for anymore, some old BMC sykes tools and old clutch kits and brake shoes for Vauxhall Cavalier mk2.
So a bit of a clear out of stuff that has laid in my shed since the days when I ran my own workshop here in Perth Scotland.
My next classic rally will be down in the town for Biggar so maybe I can sell off this collection at that, hope to get £150.00 for the lot.
