Here's the 800 doing her duties with Alan at the wheel.

As a few of you know Alan and i have been clearing a friends collection. As all the ride-on tractors have gone we've been useing a Wheelhorse B115 to tow a trailer and move stuff about. Last weekend while at Ringmer i sold the tractor so needed to find something else for Alan to use and this will fit the bill. It came from Johns collection months ago and was reputed to be one of his favourites, it had a duff gearbox but luckily i found a replacement not far away. Its got a John type hitch on the front and will help Alan to put the trailer where we need it instead of trying to reverse it and twist his neck. ive fitted a pair of AGs on the back to aid getting around and cleaned the seat. Forgot to say its a 1974 Wheelhorse 800 3 speed but as it was made in Belgium its listed as B80 4 speed.

Here is a picture of my O&R display at the Peover Game Fair last weekend, I didn't realise I had forgotten to put the base plate back on the Tiny Tiger until I unpacked it at the show, I took it off a while ago to make a copy from. Thankfully the forecast rain held off till I was back at home and everything was back inside. David

Hi Zak You could start a new thread, or add to a relevant existing one and we can help with any other questions you may have. The Compact engines were of course designed as a small industrial engine to be used for powering all sorts of portable tools, but were also used for powering (and still are) models. David
