Maybe this belongs in the cooking thread ?, but we were have a beer in the back yard around the fire pit on Saturday arvo, and decided we would have pizza for tea. A couple of beers and some thinking music later, we'd managed to panel beat and modify an old wheelbarrow into a hood for the BBQ plate.



Swaped the solid plates for grills, threw in a couple of old floor tiles........................



light the fire, couple more beers..........................next thing you know - wood fired pizza for tea  ;D



I shoved a temp probe in one of the holes in the top and it read 200deg with not a lot of coals underneath. I've sealed all the gaps now (there were a lot) and this week-end we plan to give it a serious workout with a neighbourhood "roast off" on Sat night............can't wait.

Fuel filter
Cabin filter
Engine oil
Front/Rear diff oil
Transfer case oil
Transmission oil (full flush)
Grease nipples
Spark plugs
Dismantle & clean throttle body
Balance & rotate tyres
Inner CV boots

And the all important service sticker.

Previous owner did brake rotors and coolant at last service, so I could knock off early and drink beer.

Spent some time on the test light over the weekend trying to work out why the lights weren't working on my new to me tractor. Seems like the sealed beam lights are fragged, and the low beam circuit isn't working for some reason. So looks like time to start tracing back from the switch. That is if I can get the dash panel off......

Not until it gets detailed later this week. It's getting a clear coat system done along with a cut & polish.

Although here's a pic of the cabin filter.



Don't think it's ever been changed in 10 years...

Tell me more of this mythical shed floor you speak of?

Fitted the stone stomper. Hopefully that's the last of the big jobs before the Cape trip.

There's a bit more than a 3 speed crash box going back under that tunnel.

Do tell  ;D

Unfortunately nothing too quick as much as I would love to slot a small block into it. Just a warm grey motor but with a traumatic conversion. All kept on the column. Hopefully get some more shed time this weekend. Finish off a few little welds and make a start on making a new spare wheel well. See how the weekend unfolds.
