The Mega Shed has been submitted for the Shed of the Year ’23 competition, so it seemed a perfect time for a summary write up.
Using the spool valves and joystick to control the loader was becoming a faff. What I need is a free flow return.
Part four of the heater tap overhaul article series focuses on dismantling the valve block and appropriate restoration steps.
With the tractor now serviced, it could be pressed into service. To move materials around, I set about fitting a loader.
In the previous article, the repairs on XPO were finally completed and repainted. However, I soon find I’m unpainting the A-pillar!
After the first wobbly drive, the 7610 is sent of for a minor service that turns major. Several thousand pounds later and it drives lovely!
With the welding finally finished, attention turns to painting the A-pillar. This several-month stage doesn’t end well!
Just when I thought I was done with welding, I realised I had best tackle the wheel arch repair before committing to paint.
While the big cut hadn’t gone quite as I hoped, welding in the repair panel goes a little better. Quickly the car comes back together.
