Dumpy Part 5 - Break my Brake (cable). Dumpy got abused by a neighbour...

Dumpy's usefulness is now at Legendary status - so much so that one of my neighbours 'liberated' him to do some work at his place. Centre pivot steering takes a bit of getting used to and it can catch you out if you are not used to it - the result was my neighbour accidentally drove half of Dumpy off a retaining wall. Then to stop him rolling away he pulled the parking brake lever so hard he snapped the cable. Question - where do you get an obsolete hand brake cable for a machine that is nearly 50 years old? Answer - you don't, you have to make it yourself. So cue a video lesson on how to make obsolete hand brake cables for classic plant machinery. The Guys at Winget in the UK were as helpful as ever and supplied a lot of parts I needed, but it seems the miracle of a replacement 50 year old cable was one ask too many. As always, HUGE thanks to Steve Hodge at Winget in the UK, he's a bloody legend that chap.
