We’re back in the workshop this week, focusing on a massive workshop upgrade and tackling a serious Fendt tractor brake repair. We finally brought in a real pro, Mr. Matthew Sloan, to help with our "problem child" , but he had one rule before arriving: we had to get the shed set up properly first!
Watch as we struggle to move Leslie McClean's 30-ton press off the jeep (without a risk assessment!) and install our new 40kg vice we secured off Facebook Marketplace and installed our new wall mounted work bench to work on all our projects from!

The main challenge is getting the Fendt brakes working. While we have plans to mill out and sleeve a loose bearing housing Project Harvester, the immediate problem is the massive oil leak under the Fendt tractor. The manual says one thing, but John thinks these brakes are supposed to be completely dry. Instead, they are soaked, likely with brake fluid leaking through from a broken pipe. We've got a lot of bleeding to do to see if we can save these brakes!
