i built this a few years ago out of old scrap

A mate of mine down on the Sussex Coast (no not Mr Showman) has a large collection of stationary engines, mainly generators and battery charging sets, amongst which is a little set made by W.E.Conyers Ltd. I always fancied this little set and thought if one came along I would add it to the collection, as its 6 12 or 24 volt I could use it to demonstrate the 12 volt Tarpen equipment that I have. Walking round the Sunday Sortout at Newark last November I spotted a Conyers set on the very last stall we looked at. It wasn't dear so was duly purchased and brought back to the camping field (see first photo below) A few days later I popped down to see our mate Steve who owns the other Conyers set and found that not only did my set run with a bit of tinkering (and a bit of smoke - too much oil in the petrol) but that it and Steves set are only two serial numbers apart !!

Here are some pictures of a reproduction Seller's 1925, 48" Klearfront cabinet that I built a few years ago. The cabinet was constructed from red oak and poplar purchased from a sawmill. All parts were planed, cut, shaped, and built by me. The hardware is all reproduction items from various vendors. It took me 8 weeks to complete. I had fully restored a similar cabinet back in 2002. So I had saved pictures and dimension from that. I drew my plans from memory. If you would like to view the cabinet that I restored, you can see it here: http://www.myoldattic.com/klearfront

ah , i didnt read the top , now i know it was the one that was in T&M

Just thought I'd attempt to post a picture of half my Suburban riding tractors, by DB from 59-65. I have a fairly large collection of these, and they are my main power in the garden and around the yard. I have 11 of the 22 different models built during the early period, and most of the attachments.

We also have a few Landmaster machines, some of these were also displayed at Ardingly last year (photos taken before the low flying Trojan arrived )

Hi Folks, hoping to get this together a bit, not aiming to have a 'Rally' or show as such, but we do aim to have some things 'going on' It will probably be a first ever in the world so to use Presidential sort, it could be very interesting & informative! I'm just hoping to spread the word....

Has anyone ever tried this home chroming kit

very nice matt

I was promised another one at the start of the month,however to cut a long story short this is now not going to happen. I remembered then an ex fire brigade water pump that has sat in the hedge round the back of my work for 13 years after being robbed of most its external parts. I wasnt hopping for much but after removing the head I could see luck was on my side, the piston had stopped at tdc so it is very good internally just needing a new set of rings, as the old ones are seized in the groves. It will be a bit of a bitsa but should make a very good engine once sorted.

That looks like an early Davis trencher minus the boom and digging chain plus a few other bits missing, not sure where you sit on it.Davis was taken over by Case. Michael.

You've done a good job there. Now where can I lay my hands on one of those 3 pot diesels going cheap?

Still my favorite band of all time! Listen EVERY day!

here's one of my all time favourite tractors - A Roadless Super Dexta. It's what has inspired me since being a teenager to own/make a 4x4 tractor. The front axles were military design, and the mods were made by a UK company Roadless traction.

Getting There! And then from 1952, 12 months after it was first sold to a farm no more than 30 miles from where it is now!!
