Ruby's new home

Ruby (my corsa z22se) needed a better home/floor.
the old one was made up from left over concrete over the years and was very un even so time has come to re do it.
all done by hand and the new project vehicle was used to move the trailer up the drive.
after 2 days old concrete has been removed, soil dug up and concrete broken up and laid down as a base for 5" of cement to be laid.

I worked out the cc of my tractor once, think it was around 2.5L no wounder she chucked a rod at some point when granddad had her.

My brother-in-law would possibly know something about that old tractor, it's what he does for a living. He runs his own business repairing farm equipment but he's got a few old ones as well.

Yeah same as my brother-in-law, he's done it all his working life running his own business. His daughter now does a lot of farm work, she was doing ploughing competitions etc. well before she could even drive on the road.

yeah, he is an ag engineer, also sells/imports machinery.
he's on a farm, breaks tractors, used to be able to get new parts for leylands as well. Andrew Stoaks is his name.
used to have a lot of info/manuals on them as well.
I worked for him during year out form college and since.
