Number one grandson's fiancé got left we us for the afternoon. She showed great interest in the tractors. She doesn't drive, so some instruction on driving was done. Someone else had to get into the act.

The new tyres arrived from the Pram Museum in Holland this morning and having been warmed up on top of the Aga were fitted with a bit of a struggle as they are a really good tight fit and no levers used so as not to scratch the newly powder coated wheels. The chassis has been blasted and powder coated so reassembly can begin as soon as the bench is clear. Still on the look out for a miniature tractor seat in either metal or plastic but it looks as though I will have to make a wood former and build one up from fibre glass matt with some wire mesh reinforcement - all alternative suggestions welcome.

Taken engine off and washed down the engine bay, sand filled a 25L container! Input flange bearing is shot and engine bay floor looks like it has been dropped to accommodate Kohler engine.

Lots of parts have been cleaned and painted this week here are some photos. We started work on the bonnet which was very holey

You could cut my lawn in 2 passes.
