Our beloved vintage David Brown tractor has developed some sort of problem with a "bearing." So a short while ago it was picked up at Struan Farm by flatbed truck and delivered to the specialist repair shop in Te Kuiti. At the time we realised that it had never been off the farm further than Piopio village, 10k away.
When there wasn't quite as much speeding traffic on the main road John or his dad Maurie would drive it into Piopio, with someone behind them in a car with emergency flashers, but those days are long gone.
Rather a big trip for the old boy--we want and need him home soon, feeling better!
