Below is what happens when you other half has an artistic bent. Or maybe just bent. Take some old pot plant pots and get yours truly who has nothing better to do, to clean and paint them. Then do this....... I think this could be her fishy period. Though she does have a thing about crocodiles. She's now on the lookout for more pots.

The box, I have one on each tractor, is a toolbox for the older Massey Ferguson tractors.

Doing a bit of tiding up in the workshop today, I came across a couple of reversing lights I bought at a Land Rover show years ago. This gave me an idea for one of them. The result is in the photo's below. Should help when ploughing at night.

Ive started to turn my attention to the backend. As you may of seen originally I was going to use a set off a Dowdeswell. However without going into boring rivet counting details, these arent quite correct for a machine of this age. The other day I managed to do a swap for some engine parts for these covers which are period correct. Overall they are in very good condition, however Ive already welded the trailing back into place and a bit of straightening is also needed. Digging through my store Ive also turned up an original spec serial number plate.

The Bolens now has a new hood 600 decal ( thanks Titch ) a new starter solenoid and a ignition switch and battery leads.

Done as much as I can without the belt, i left the length of the plate and pulley until i get it all fitted then i can cut it down to size.
