Here in the USA if the neighbors tree and or parts fell onto or glanced off any part of your abode there would be a lawsuit filed and the neighbors insurance company would be sued by the lawfirm of Hupy and Abraham. William Shatner  does tv commercials for them over here......... Do you have neck pain and headachs? That could get you a couple extra million..............
 
And get well soon buddy, glad you didn't fall and break a hip or your neck!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Paul. Make it a great one mate!!!!!!!!!!

Halfway through the day I decided to change the tractors around that I'm taking to Rural past times and change trailer as the one outside was a bit tacky.
The one I wanted was right at the back of my well organised storeage shed so had to shuffle everything to get it out.
By 4 pm I started to wander if i made the right decision not to mention the heavy rain we had.
by 7.15 i had the Bolens and Raider 12 in the van with the posh trailer and everything thrown back in the shed.

todays progress
 

 

 
are those blueish marks prussian blue left over from scraping it level?

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. 

Happy Birthday Chris!!! Hope you are having a great day mate!!

Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday dear Chris.
Happy Birthday to you.
 
All the Best, Old Chap.

Get the gun out and I'll get the plucking machine going, Pam can make some orange sauce.
