Used to work on a dairy farm than ran 7 Massey's, always had problems with them but good machines really. I think the problem with my brown is she hasn't been looked after at all, where-as our 4600 Ford has nearly 9,000 hours clocked with a loader on front and is all original, still never puts a...

Considering David Brown are a gearbox maker their tractor boxes are crap haha. Has to be said though I'm not a fan of the Browns, much prefer my Ford's, they actually work! But this old thing came as a package deal with a baler.

Does it heck :p Not run her in 2 years now mind, need to sell her, not got a use for a cab-less tractor with no power... one or the other ;)

Well in the end I admitted full ownership, mostly because as soon as the trailer rolled into the yard every one knew it was mine... I did fib about the price a little mind, but that combined with it giving mum a method of getting hay to the sheep by the woods without getting wet has meant it...

It's not a G-WAC, or even a G-BKV sadly. I did find a white G-BKV, the sale of which I passed on to a more suited buyer! (BKV being factory reg production models) The Disco I drive daily is an early production model, I am good with them :) I know all of the suffix A disco stuff to keep hold of...

Wouldn't be the first time I've fibbed about a landy to save myself some ear ache o_O Christ there was a black disco that never even came home... I think I'm going to rock up at home on Sunday with the disco in tow and say we bought it at Malvern, mate's paid £200 for it and I'll dismantle it...

Hi All. It's no secret among those who know me that I have a major problem with 3 door 200Tdi Discoveries... I'm 19 and I've just bought my 6th! To give you back ground as to why this is an issue, I insure and run a modified series and a G reg disco, at my age that's pushing finances to their...

Thanks all. She went though an MOT reasonably easily, few days of welding, new king pin bearings and wiper blades. Minimal advisories! Problems with her so far; waste-gate was stuck shut but easy fix, passenger door is tattered, exhaust knocks on chassis rail where it goes under it and the...

Evening all. Only gone and bought another discovery, but this time she's something else... She's a 1989, G registered, 3 door with sonar blue inside (obviously), with 33x12.5 Mickey Thomson Baja MTZ's, lift and a couple of other things. Been sat in a garden in Worcester for 2 years, but...

I'm not prejudice... honest.... I have 2 discos :)

That would be real helpful thanks! I'm back off up to uni tomorrow (98 miles, in a series, on knobblies, in the rain :D) I should be back at home in a month or so to put the tups out with the ewes and get some more bales down the yard for my mum so I could give you a shout then?

That would be ideal. I'm a series guy, old school sheep farmer and an engineer, not some track suit mong in a knackered disco :) I was just looking for some where to go on my off day ramblings, but a trip over new year when I'm back from uni would be very welcome!

Hi All. I'm based near Stroud / Dursley and would like some pointers towards some lanes? I know the lane from Bisely to Edgeworth, and a short, dead end BOAT in Epney. Other than that I know of nothing but I'm sure, from watching bike videos, that there are plenty more in the area! Can any one...

I do like the idea of bolt-on/bolt-off inner wings, I think that's probably the way to go, and as you say, in the event of a smash you want sacrificial parts, so make the bulkhead solid and bolt on inner wings. The weight of that much chunky steel in it was also a concern, my disco's going to...

Hi all. A while ago I begun sourcing "bits" for my dream disco, a blue on blue 3 door 200tdi. Some of the larger pieces I've collected have been vehicles, I even have one for it's interior... The basis for the rebuild is my J reg, with a spotless chassis and solid boot floor, rear arches and...
