Hi Mike,
Sorry for the late reply.
Im an offshore crane supervisor looking after 50 cranes on a super complex so it keeps me busy.
I bought the vintage style plate and fixed it to the brackets with 3M double sided tape as I didnt want to spoil the new plate by drilling it. It been power washed and had a few soakings and is still stuck fast.
Ive not been to any rallies or road runs with mine yet due to my rotational change. I had it out the workshop for a wee run down the road last week and started no bother with a little heat and ran great. There are a few fields on the estate that are going to be ploughed so might get for a play with the plough before the big lads come in.
Not long till your road run so enjoy.
You will certainly enjoy the ploughing not that Im any expert at it but its all a bit of fun and great getting the tractor to work.

Regards
Charlie.

Hi Mike,
Dont know about a sore neck but plenty of headaches. Having said that I have a good crew of crane mechanics looking after them.
The plough is a Ransomes Robin. Ive spent a lot of money on it replacing a lot of the metal and adding discs and skimmers. Still playing around setting it up.
Ive still to try and get a video of my horn sounding for you.

Regards
Charlie.
