Gday

Not a roo strike but running over wombat (dead we didn't kill it) on the putty rd west of Sydney. The old ute it's is 22 yrs old and fuel gauge you just can't trust. Once we had found the leak we used some line from the tracter to fix. A gut full of "motion lotion" we were on our way. 

The tractor. We will replace the "borrowed" fuel line and a new set of wheels and rims (and lights ....pretty ugly  but easy fix)

Ps not one inch of fencing wire was used in this recovery

Those wombats can do some damage.... even already dead ones.... the bush mechanics would be so proud of your jerry rigging... sounds like it was a blast... when do you take the repaired tractor back? Hopefully the return trip is lest eventful.

G'day

It's definitly not going south again. It's staying at a mates place he has a hilly block and this thing is 4 wheel drive. Currently he breaks a belt in the ride on mower every secound time he uses it. At $80 a pop more expensive than a lawn contractor! He has a medical condition which stop him from going to get the tracter but with this tracter he'll be able to do a lot himself. It's pretty much a runner, with some basic repairs and a ruddy great roll bar it will do the job.
