I've two mouldboard ploughs and only ever stuck them in the ground a few times, so on the back of Chris great pics - and Ewan wanting to plant potatoes.... Late sunday we hooked up Bendy and went over to the over side of the stream, it's rough grass that never gets animals on, mowed or ploughed. The first pass went ok, I have to go deep to leave a furrow wide enough for a 12" wheel to fit It was hard going, too high a gear and the engine belt slips. So its a slowly and surely run - until we hit tree roots and rocks. Here are the pics, enjoy

Evening all just another quick update as the rebuild continues

Safety switch? What safety switch? I can see if the P.T.O. is engaged or not.

Pity we didn't know. we'd have been round for a brew.

I love to keep my old girls working, there's nothing better than seeing the perform the job for which they were intended. This is a picture of one my stationary engines, when she's at a rally she is usually powering lights, a kettle, many phone chargers for fellow exhibitors and the all important chip pan! This was Newby hall 2014.

Just love it

So at long last the planters were delivered today, only had enough time to take them off the pallet and get a quick photo to show the drive wheel that turns the bit that drops the potatoes.
