I doubt it Andrew as I haven’t got a steering wheel made yet. And its all in bits.

So I've just bought this old paleface W11 to restore. I know it runs ride and cuts, but the paintwork needs fixing and the steering wheel, wiring and deck have had some dodgy repairs in its time. Its going to be fully stripped down and restored to factory condition. I will video the project and post it to youtube and also upload photos on here as i go as i may need advice etc. Ive had a W8 paleface in the past, a T1800, a W6, an S600, a T1200 and I currently have an early D1200 with the T1200 branding and Lombardini engine so Im not new to these machines. Ill post the first update this weekend.

No problem Norm. He has a week before RPT. Plenty of time. On second thought's, with all those parts he's probably forgotten how it goes back together.

Yeah Ive had thing like that happen. Was walking in to a tractor show a man was walking out with an outboard he side he payed $35 for it. My wife said it wasn't meant to be. ( She just thinks I have to many now ) I told her just give me some time I will find more .

I thought it was Calvin I got to keep an eye on!

No need to worry Norm. Calvin has been to Specsavers and say's he can see where he's coming from now. Shame you can't make it this year.

Andrew, as I am unable to attend this year, keep an eye on Alan and keep him away from bramble bushes.

I’m sure this has happened to all of us but I thought I’d share my most recent O&R miss. I was poking around on Craigslist this morning and saw a yard sale add that had some old looking fishing gear and stuff so I decided to click on it just for grins. Low and behold there was an O&R Ice Auger (Herter’s Model) tucked away in a pile of stuff and it looked in really good shape. Of course the yard sale was on its last day but I pinged the listing anyway and sure enough it had already sold. At $20 someone should be very happy while I’m bummed... all part of the hunt I guess.

Yeah, the sticker showed $20 - who knows they may have even bargained it lower....
