I notice you've taken the photo's in the van. Waiting for a good time to tell the wife? We know someone else who does that.

Here are the implements I collected yesterday plus the new bench grinder. I am well chuffed with these items.

Went to a bring and buy sale this morning organised by a stationary club I belong to, it was a complete waste of time as there was only a handful of people there. It was held at the Hassocks garden centre so the traditional breakfast was the best part of the visit . During the time i spent there the London to Brighton veteran car run was on and they trundled past the gate, it was quite cold and they all looked frozen. Norman asked me to take my camera so here's a photo i took especially for him.

Very pleased to have Triumph 66 visit me today, it was nice to spend some time with him over 2 cups of tea and have a catch up. Of cause he wanted to look in the sheds and see the Raider burst into life. Then it was time to go and obviously I couldn't let him go without him buying something red off me so we rang out his wallet and even helped him load up.

Found a couple more, Pam must of taken them.

Just had a go with it as a hedge cutter in the upright position, works quite well but would be better on my Gutbrod 1032 with the reduction hubs in to slow down forward speed and increase blade speed

Any literature of this sort is always worth keeping especially if you have the machine to go with it I've seen manuals for these on the bay go for reasonable money...

I have 23 vintage chainsaws (mostly Homelite's) now, 21 in the pictures, one on the bench and two in my truck for cutting firewood. The two 150's are pretty neat, both lightweight 54cc auto oilers, but the older (1973) one has a screw to adjust the amount of oil put on the chain.

Cool,collection of chainsaws

I'm not sure the disk is factory Bolens, but it sure looks like it. Great score Andrew

They do a cracking breakfast there !! And lunch...

I wonder where that grinder came from. I'm sure I've seen it before. Could be wrong though. But I'm not.

Just keep an eye on things if you increase the bade speed. It can rattle thing loose. I lost a couple of bolts from my fingerbar.

Here's the display at Tractor World show, you can just see the set on the display (black cowling)

Manual may not be worth anything much, but worth keeping. As is the sales leaflet. Those front indicator lens look the same as Land Rover and real Mini ones. Pity your not up this way. I've several.

Flat pack, Alan.

I might need that caravan when my missus see those implements....

I saw that on EBay and loved it but got no room. Nice haul'

E It was good to meet both Chris and Steve at the Showman's House this afternoon. I left Devon this morning having filled up the van with a mower deck and two implements for Jamie in Portsmouth to swap for a set of Bolens Disc Harrows for my Ride a Matic. Got rid of three implements for one implements. I then drove over to Chris Bolens outside Worthing where I bought a Bolens Ride A Matic front cylinder mower. That's 2 items now in my van. Still better than having three implements to store. I had a good natter with Chris and Leisa was an absolute gem providing lunch and two cups of coffee. After that I drove over to Peace Haven to see Chris and his WH project where I met the amusing Steve who regaled me with tales of his classic motorbikes. I do like that WH by the way and it fired up happily on my arrival with exhaust fumes in the shed where Chris was working his magic. I had a couple of cups of tea with Chris who then hoodwinked me into buying a chain harrow with red paint. I was frankly shocked at his boldness but he sweetened the deal by throwing in a working bench grinder in the deal which I shall use to grind off the red paint.... To top it all I started the day with three implements and ended the day with three implements.

Hi If you are lucky and look on the bottom of the towing hitch you may find a plate with the date on it

That's tidy, well done !!

Very nice machine, I noticed it on the bay and was tempted but didn't need another, I thought it was a very good price though. Do you not find you need the front weight?
