Had a good day wandering round Tinkers park today, I didn't take anything to exhibit which gave me a chance to chill out. heres a few photos.

Yesterday Chris made the three and half hour drive to spend the day with us and we had a great time showing him our collection, driving some tractors and doing some repairs to the Bolens HT20. We made a video of some of the fun Iain

We could not find any white ones but later Bolens were green Next time we get the tractors out I may even let dad have a drive

I'm going to sell my 9000lb pull winch as it's now surplus to requirements and has not had much use. Mainly used to make sure trees came down where wanted. As you can see from the photo's, it has a steel cable in good condition, hand control, spare rope and snatch block. Electric cables have an Anderson connector. The mounting plate I made myself, to fit to a Dixon Bate type trailer hitch, on the front bumper of my 90 when I had it. This made it demountable and could be removed when not needed. I'm asking £150 for the complete kit. Can be viewed at Newby Hall 10th - 11th June. Or collected even.

We were going to get the WH D160 out but ran out of time (& petrol )

Scaffolding grandstands for the viewers. Trailer rides for the kids oldie's.

Great pictures Chris. I love the Matador's and the Bolens 1257.

That would be great, Chris has already marked where he is going to camp. Non Bolens welcome too.

Great photos Mr Showman

Might take you a while to get down south with that and I don't think it will fit in my driveway

Shouldn't Joseph have white overalls?

Looks interesting Chris. No RED bits among the storage piles. ?

Will sort out measurements tomorrow. Just found a good video on Youtube. Just enter the following into their search engine. " Billy Goat Outdoor Vac KV Pro Series walk behind" You can freeze the footage or enlarge it. May help you a lot, however there are several different size bags on the market. The one on youtube is the same size as mine and can measure the bag if you still need. You will need a massive zip. If you can't access youtube, get one of the grandchildren to show you. Lot of good maintenance tips for any machine on there. Especially Hayter. Regards Colin

Look like you lads had a ball yesterday Iain. Fantastic to see all those Bolens up and running! We ought to hold a UK Bolens Tractor Fest at your place......

Hi, i'll get some pictures up shortly, I have a friend who has a Martin Markham in pieces. The previous owner took it to bits and now my friend is trying to put it back together but it needs some transmission work etc. Does anyone know if they had manuals with exploded diagrams on? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ewan

Had the coastguard helicopter over us this morning, don't know if it was a boat load of imagrants or someone fell of the cliff. the pub carpark was full of police cars and the helicopter sent down a dope on a rope but he didn't come up with body
