To reach this point to where it makes a reasonable job it has probably been built and rebuilt a dozen times 👍

Hi there my name is Mike and I have just joined the forum, after doing some googling about the Mayfield Merlins. I own one. When I was a kid in the late 60s my father came home with one as we had a huge back garden at the time (I learnt to drive in the garden it was that big!!) We have recently moved back into the family home ( with a lot less garden now as the bottom of the gardens were sold off in the 80s to build a new road.) I never did know what happened to it until we moved back in and we were clearing some very thick hedging/ thorny/ over grown ivy stuff at the bottom of the garden. To my amazement I have uncovered what is left of our one, number 108.. My wife would love me to restore it, so I am making some enquiries with this in mind. Is it easy to source parts for it or do they all need to be specially made? I am a car mechanic and am very adept at making/repairing panels etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. For sentimental reasons I would like to restore it, It will have to wait a while as I am in the middle of doing my mk2 cortina GT, and I have a 71 challenger I should do too and I am slowly doing the bungalow too. I hope there should be a picture as found and I know it is in a state.

Big job on! farmer Friend let us have a play to set up and test plough. Only another 30 acres to go! Oh and he has now told me that it has only been cultivated twice in 5 years as it is the heaviest wettest field on the farm. video-1587900855.mp4

That looks good, you can hang a tidy bin on it for your coffee cup.

I wonder why I thought of Mad Max and Hannibal Lecter when I saw that grill.
