After much saving, planning and pondering the new shed finally arrived yesterday and was finished off about 6pm today. 16 foot by 8 foot, this will be the new Wheelhorse/Westwood shed

Carpet in and extra door furniture on (door bolts etc )so its nice and secure First couple of machines in, not in their final storage places yet...

Look up KAB P2 seats on that auction site, lots of wheel horses used that model seat and we’ve always got them at a reasonable price.

Hi all, not entirely sure which category to put this in, it's not horticultural as such, but is related in a round about sort of way! I've just picked up this old Rice horsebox, the idea being that with internal dimensions of 9' x 4 and a bit foot, it is the perfect size for transporting my Ransomes Mg2, plus other machines. Then, once at the event, unload the machines, set up the camp bed etc, and I have somewhere half habitable to sleep in! Thus doing away with the annoyance of tents!! Anyway, the plan is to rub down and repaint inside and out, replace the checker plate bits with perspex to allow some light in, new piece of plywood on the floor, and fix the leak in the roof. I believe this is quite an early model, so there is an element of restoration here too, has anyone else any experience of fixing up these trailers? I will add some more photos when it stops raining!

Just when I increase my workshop space by 40% shifting a W'Horse n Deck, Roly leaves me these- The Maxees is a 14", possibly a Mk2. pretty common, but the serial stamps are clear for I.D-ing. No idea of the make of other one and has a 7. 3/4" cut width. Poss 20-30s. Not a machine, but this will jog a few memories from up to the 60s- I'll fix up and Oily Rag this one.

Happy birthday matey, hope you have a great day with lots of presents and cake,

Happy Birthday Ewan. Have a good day lad. Not forgetting Jake.

I've bought several seats from kdrseating.com nice people to deal with and often have good deals on eBay

The seat looks like it was made of stouter metal than the machine, lol

The right seat for the rolling chassis was found on ebay and arrived today

Didn't get much time today but here's the latest.

You need one of these Richard to go with it,

Thanks Ewan, Yes, Stumbled over that backrest on Auction (N.O.Stock). Had to drill 2 more holes to fit the older Bostrom version for correct height, but real comfy. Going- Going- Gone !.

Fitted the new bearings and cleaned out the axle tube, greased the axle shaft and put some oil in the tube just enough to coat the bear metal bits for protection then assembled it. The auger runs nice on new bearings.

Happy Birthday Ewan, you did get some tractor related stuff didn't you , lol

Ewan, Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday Ewan, I hope you have a great day. Iain
