Leyland Middleweight tractor brakes Part 3 - slave cylinders, master cylinders and pipes
And here we are, in Part 3 of the blogs about the braking systems of the Leyland middleweight tractors. When I set out with this blog topic, I never thought it would go over to 3 blogs worth of information. I know I have said it before, and I will say it again, brakes are SO IMPORTANT! Maybe that is why I feel that I do not want to skip the information and make it shorter.

Middleweight Leyland Tractor Brakes Part 2 - Clutch and Brake Fluid
The brakes on the Leyland middleweight range of tractors is a topic that I could write about for hours. Firstly, it is something that I feel very strongly should be high up on every tractor owners priority list. They are so important, so often I hear that people don't bother with maintenance and almost boast about how bad their brakes are, you won't be saying that when somebody has been hurt.

Middleweight Leyland tractor brakes-Part 1: Brake disc and brake actuators, do they deserve their bad reputation?
If I had a £1 for every time it was said that Leyland brakes were made of cream cheese, I swear I would not have to work anymore. The brakes on Leyland tractors do not have a good reputation, and that is putting it mildly. This is why I am glad to say that they were improved on by the time the Harvest Gold Marshall range of tractors came along, which were fitted with the much more practical wet brakes. But do the brakes on Leyland tractors deserve this bad name?

Getting Ready For Winter
Andy and I are renovating a farmhouse here in the village of Alstonefield in the same village where we run Tractor Spare Parts. It seems like all year has been a race against time to do certain steps of the renovation before the winter comes. Firstly, so that we can do the work before the mud and the worst of the weather stops us, but also so that we will be warm during the winter.

Quiet Cab, Rattle Cab, or Explorer Cab - Which One Do I Have?
We are used to a wide range of customers calling us. We get customers who know exactly what they need, right down the part number. We also get customers who barely know one end of a tractor from the other. Both extremes, and everything in between, is completely ok. We all have to learn somewhere, and we have all been new to the vintage tractor world at some point. Helping all manner of customers is one of the best parts of the job.

Why You Should Attend a Tractor Show
Supplying parts for the Nuffield, Leyland and Marshall marques might be the mainline of business we offer, but how often do we stop and wonder where these parts are going to and what type of tractor they are going on?
