The reason why, you don't have to lay tracks

This is the last of the three original Barnum and Bailey circus trains that used to tour with the circus. They junked the others from what I heard and this one belongs to a fellow that uses them at festivals and events. It is a Massey Ferguson 1650 garden tractor underneath the train costume. I repaired the brakes and rebuilt the steering column last year, this fall they will bring it back for routine maintenance. They complained about a part of the tractor on the rear that was causing difficulties and was in the way, so I removed it for them and gave them another spot for storage. The part was the complete three point hitch, they said I could dispose of it as i saw fit, I did, its on my tractor now.

Impressive collection, Andrew is right though, there is a spot for a Bolens and possibly a Simplicity/Allis Tractor. We are going to get you in trouble aren't we?

With a car as low as a mini, I'm surprised there were not lorry accidents all over M'Way. BTW, they use the word "fit" in several instances, would that mean she had a really nice "Boot and Bonnet"? The Glouchestershire Echo has a video from the scene of the accident,The video showed a woman holding a Rampant Rabbit-style sex toy and doing up her trousers, oh my! Sadly though, no video of the "event" has surfaced.

Very nice old implements, love the old Nuffield tractor, the decals on the one next to it are unfamiliar to me though. lol

Maybe a mine sweeper used by the Aussie's. Oh that was just wrong, I sincerely apologize, well unless it was funny.

Motosacoche began in 1899, by Henri and Armand Dufaux in Geneva. The Dufaux brothers were French however they had long family ties with Switzerland, and Geneva, their grandfather Henri Rochefort (Marquis de Rochefort Ducay) took refuge there after escaping exile (and immortalized in a painting by Manet) by Napoleon III during the Second Empire of France (learned in Humanitites 2 this semester), for demanding the return of the free press, and democratic life and rule. They were once the biggest Swiss motorcycle manufacturer known for its Motosacoche Acacias Genève engines used by other European motorcycle manufacturers, or the MAG engine as they became known. Around 1900 Motosacoche started making bicycle auxiliary engines in a subframe that could be installed into a conventional bicycle. This looked like an engine in a bag, that's how the Motosacoche name came to be, as translated it was engine in a bag. In 1910 Royal Enfield used Motosacoche 344 cc engines in V-twin model. They supposedly supplied Triumph, Ariel, Matchless, and the Brough Superior companies engines at times too, first as H & A Dufaux England Ltd, and after 1912 as, Motosacoche Ltd, with sales agent Osborne Louis De Lissa based in the UK. Motosacoche had factories in Switzerland, France and Italy, and supplied MAG engines to European manufacturers including Clement, Condor, Imperia, Neander and Monet Goyon. Sadly Motosacoche was gone by the late 1950's, probably due to American manufacturers that could churn out large quantities of engines at low prices.

Beautiful automobiles, nothing like them today.

Near Winterborne, Kingston and dates as early as 100-200BC http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-dorset-33492125 If I win the lottery I am moving to Europe (with my tractors) and to work on Archaeology digs around the continent.

I have the Operators manual for both diesel and MAG petrol twin engine Ransome Triple mk4s, lots of info. A copy of the engine manual sold just a month or so ago on Epay.UK for 5p, might keep an eye out there, or ask some of the mower shops if the will make you a copy. If you want a copy of my manual, you will have to email me, its 12.3MB, maybe I can download it to the manuals section EDIT: I also have a Instructions and Maintenance Instructions Spare Parts List for the MAG 2055 SRL, but it is in French

Great write-up and pictures!

Sometimes doing your best for a loved one hurts the most, whether it be children, parents, or pets. You did the right thing Chris, and know each and every friend here is there with you and Pam to help you endure your loss. Ginger Tom had a great life and made great times for a human family, a pet can do no better, he has moved on and in time your pain will turn to so many fond memories he gave. Alain

I would love to be on this dig http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-somerset-33479129

They quit selling the Ford Ranger in the US, but they are talking of repealing the "Chicken Tax" that has bee levied against most European nations and that will allow importation of the now foreign built Ranger along with a Holder and Mercedes car/pickup and the Land Cruiser Model 70 which is still being produced in Australia.

Thanks Neil. It is overwhelming to understand the history of man, the more I learn the more I know I know very little.

I am in real awe of your workmanship abilities. Great Job!

In the Lab today washing hundreds of bags of dig content from the various levels. Most bags contain some shell, flint nappings, various amounts of bone, some pieces almost as big as the fist and, every once in awhile a arrowhead, point, or tool that was missed in the collection process. The arrowheads I find in the content bags are generally smaller than a quarter dollar. We are not sure what these small arrowheads were made for as the shafts would have been so much bigger than the heads (don't even go there mates), it is possible they were made for juvenile bows, or as jewelry, or possibly as practice or competition as they would be very difficult to produce. Also a sizable piece of deer jaw was found deep in the site and may date back 10 to 12 thousand years, as well as a fossilized snake.

I would like to see them in action, might need a little weight on it, but maybe not.

I rewrapped the wiring harness with new high quality electrical tape and cleaned up all the contacts

I think the chain is may help limit depth, not sure, good luck

I hope this helps, I am not up on wheel horses by any means Tiller 36in 1977 77-36TL01 #803678R1.pdf Tiller 36in 1978 87-36TL01 TIPL.pdf
