A friend of mine in the vintage tractor world rang the other evening asking if I know anyone who would be interested in a small tractor which was getting in the way in his garage. When he mentioned the make and model the radar went up as there were only 100 of these made (so it's rarer than a Mayfield Merlin) Wendy and I braved the ice and snow/rain/sleet for a short (6 mile) trip this morning to pick it up, it's a Martin Markham Colt Deluxe with a 10hp Kohler in it, these were made between 1965 and 1970 by Martin Markham in Lincolnshire. Also pictured is the brochure that arrived a few days ago.

by the sounds of it I think I will be having to seeking space in my fathers lock-up to put them in!!!!!!

It's not a JD wheel, it was just painted the wrong colour at the factory And speaking of strange coloured front wheels, the time had come to cut one of the centers out... The wheel is slightly too large to fit on my lathe, but it will fit on Nigel's lathe with a few tweaks.. A bit of chain drilling and chisel work later.. The inside of the wheel had some extra cutting to make the hole a little larger.. And on the lathe the wheel went. The inside taking shape. A few hours later... And to finish up this small update, a groove being cut in one of the new centers. This will center the new center in the rim

Hi All Back at our holiday cottage near St Andrews again The owner does not like the Scottish winters and goes to his boat on the Med, so we look after his house dog and cat Nothing beats a cottage in the country with a log fire and a good bottle of whisky. Here are some pics of my power barrow in the woods hope you like No snow at this time just ground frost All the best to all for the coming season Frae George S

Out of interest, whats your new project???

cold and snowy outside, so got on inside and made a custom dash decal. The existing dash panel is in pretty good condition, but needs painting and I'd prefer the electric clutch to be something else so here is a new panel.

Nice find Be warned these tractors are addictive

didnt that front wheel used to be YELLOW ian
