That's a nice little tractor. You bought the cars as well, Andrew?

Best post I have had in a while.... some cool paper work and old pictures off when the previous owner must have got the bolens! Awesome

The new bit of the rear frame has been sorted, I think your agree that "kick up" gives MadTrax an aggressive mean sort of look Of course as soon as the frame had enough strength put back in to take the weight of a person.. I just had to have a seat You know the saying of "A bad workman always blames he's tools".. Well in this case I can rightly blame my small Mig welder.. With the aid of a new welding mask and Nigel's 30+ year old heavy duty Mig I produced the best welds I have ever done This is the start of the lower rear engine mounts.. A couple of rear upper engine mounts.. MadTrax can now hold it's own weight up including engine

If it arrives in pieces it danged sure won't be my fault. Here's what it looked like when it left my humble abode on 5/22. It's a good thing I have the 1886 Forklift because we would never have gotten it onto his trailer without it.

We now have 23 exhibitors entered for this show which is very good, there should be over 50 exhibits on show. The ground for the working area will be ripped up and rolled on Friday so should be softer for us on Saturday to demonstrate our stuff working to the public. This looks like its the biggest attendance we've had at this site since it started and I would like to thank everyone for your support. If you don't want to miss out on this fun filled weekend i'm still taking entrants but you better be quick, PM me now for a form. I will list the entrants when I get the list, so watch this space. Once again thanks everyone

Just been alerted to a Jobber on the bay of e at silly money, just told Kev the price of his has gone up !!

Lovely and big! Just the job. I had to put 1 valve in, which I'm not 100% on but il order a proper mini tractor nice fat one. Cheers triumph and Daniel

This Marina was MOT'd nearly 10 years ago. John drove it to the MOT garage and I drove it back home. It has not moved since. That is until Chris got it running again late last year without much trouble. Moved from under a lean to and parked in John's workshop. Started up again today and after Chris had a play and drive around, well it is RED, and you KNOW he likes RED, we washed it and had a photo session prior to advertising in between the rain drops. Clock reads about 17,000 which is believed to be genuine, but the MOT has probably expired by now.

My advert is on the notice board at work

Yes.... that is super cool! Also a massive yank fan Nice one. What is the shipping cost? I would also quite like that low loader it's loaded on to

Andrew, remind me what the ships name is and I'll be waiting for it with the trailer The red car looks like a mustang once you you have the 600 home I will have to pop down and have a look. Iain

Glad you got the tyres; Daniel texted me earlier,. enjoy the show.

Yer I let him know (communication is through his son) I will let him know I got the paper work and again let him know it's running, with lovely new tyres ready for show on Saturday.

Thanks boys another nail in the coffin

And this is what's going... including a Jobber for Mr Castle

Thanks kev passes arrived

I have walked past it covered up in the lean to a couple of times and I did not realise it was that good. Very tidy car which will be great for shows. Sounds like The Showman has been performing his magic. Iain

A bit of a Rural Pastimes nudge here, my passes have arrived and a flyer proudly displayed on my workshop door

Tractor still looks great. Plenty of ingenuity gone into the loading of this, helped by Dave’s splendid forklift Iain

Now that is what I call a time capsule find. Lovely.

Awesome pics Ewan , I like the winger with front loader . Always wanted one of those .

We went to the great Yorkshire show today and since you all like photos here are some that I took. Here is a board that displays comments made to the Newby hall tractor fest Facebook page, @pmackellow your famous!

OOP's, so I did.

You forgot to mention that its running and driving on the petrol that was put in it 10 years ago .

Who would want to drink Wheel Horse pee! That's for girls whereas the Bolens Ales are for real men who like thier drink strong and dark with sediments at the bottom of the glass!

Probably didn't want to use one off a really collectable GT like a Wheel Horse.

Plenty of them in the states & Norfolk I have a couple of tracs where the dyno is missing. I have just purchased one from a wheel horse from internet auction. Currently have Andrews 850 engine in bits & sure he would notice if I sold it to you!! I saw your ad on gumtree also I will ask a fellow collector up north if he can help

Managed to sort the gear crunching.... the foot pedal wasn't engaging quite enough. The transmission whine... will that kind off is what it is.. anyone to stop it? Silly question I expect.... where is the clutch? And easiest way to check

Certainly more than 3
