Well done Norm, I managed to sneak the Bolens in the top shed where the roundhoods were parked and threw a sheet over it. Pam was indoors watching tv

More photos...

With the Newby Hall show coming up next weekend, I thought I'd better mention to Carol that I was taking two tractors, but returning with three. (Again). Went down quite well. No need to or vocal outburst and flying objects or threats of GBH. I do now, have to supply decorating materials for master bedroom and lounge. Fortunately, I won't be doing the decorating. Carols department that.

A grand day out today at the Battle of the Standard Vintage Gathering in Northallerton, North Yorkshire A one day event organised by John and Angela Webster with helpers We took three Wheelhorses along and had a good day Here's some photos...

I might have bought it by then.

So when I come down I've not to say, "Where's the Bolens? Lets have a look at it."

So you have been worrying for the last year for nothing Norm. Carol's calm appearance could be a plot though. Wait until you have bought the decorating materials then war will break out. Better keep the 2 handled saw locked away. She could do serious damage with it. I wonder if the Showman will escape as lightly when Pam finds out what he has bought.

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.

Wondered why there are more photos of it than anything else.

Looks like you had a good day.

You had a good day for it. Hope you kept your eye on those dodgy looking characters in the second photo.

That will keep Iain and Joseph busy. "Now where do I start".

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

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.

Some of Johns oldies next time Alan

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

Maybe you should get a green and yellow tractor Joseph, different class to the bolens

Shout if you want any oil, you've got until next Tuesday to place your order

While sorting through friend John's car spares, a large quantity of 20/50 MINERAL oil was found. A lot of this has already been sold but still quite a few cans left. £5 per 4.5 Ltr can. The Showman has kindly offered to deliver to Newby if required and can collect payment there.
