Sure Lego, but my pics aren't the greatest. I'll post a few as I find them, but my wife will have better shots; it'll take some digging.
We docked at Ocho Rios and then got in a Land Rover bound for a ranch that rented horses, quads and dune buggies. We ripped up the mountain, and this is the view at the top:

Thanks Weldngrind. That's awesome, I would of never guessed that you could rent quads in Jamaica. I'd like to visit someday and or take a cruise in the Carribeans, but in reality I'm not sure if I ever will get a chance so if the Mrs Weldngrind comes across any pics, post them up. What time of the year did you go?

It was around this time of year, and it was part of a cruise. We joined some friends and spent a day in Mexico, Grand Cayman and Jamaica. Jamaica was my favourite by a long shot.

Played in the dirt today.
The little green tractor is a 1966 JD 110 with a David Bradley Walk Behind tractor hood and is powered by a CHINESE 10hp yanmar clone diesel. I took it for a spin and its pretty neat to roll coal with a garden tractor. Click the pic for a slideshow. I only had my phone to take pics.

That is a really cool little tractor. 8) I bet it pulled, um, like a tractor with that diesel. Sorry, that's all I could come up with.
Looks like that tractor event was a lot of fun. I'd love to get involved in the local tractor club, but it would mean owning one. Mrs. Weldangrind would not approve.

Blimey Andrew, you post bits and pieces all over the place in different threads, we cannot keep track of you! And now I see you finally sorted it all out and got out for a run at long last?
Wherever did you post that bit of information and what about how you fixed the carbie? Don't tell me I've got to hunt through all the different forums to find them? Whatever, very good to see you are mobile and hopefully happy! |

Thanks mate, I enjoy your posts and i have been every bit as dumb,we all have. I've been much dumber in fact but I am not going to own up to putting diesel in a petrol engine am I?

OUCH! - I bet that was costly! I am just glad my tinkering didn't get the best of me - Just time, and again - Lessons learned. At least I can say I know how that carb all goes back togather, and I even learned a few tweaks as well!
