Beamish Museum is situated near Stanley county Durham, on Saturday and Sunday 23rd 24th July the Beamish Tractor Show was held on the old exhibition showfield at Beamish, The Living Museum of the North. A varied selection of stationary engines, horticultural equipment, tractors and a few commercials attended. A couple of rare items were noted an unknown make of grass cutter with a Humber engine (Humber were a English car maker many years ago) and also a rare Allen Scythe born about 1935 with steel wheels, with a Villiers two stroke engine which was cast on the engine cowling and straight handles not the usual curved ends, a good couple of days were had by all great weather and a look around the museum.

Many happy returns I have a spare zimmer frame if needed

Hi Norm, Regarding the Lister driven motorbike, a great bit of engineering I was talking to the owner the steering is locked for safety, he can unlock it, some more pictures (not to your standard)

Thank you Anglo Traction it might be a winter project so for the time being I will show as found

I recently acquired an unusual machine it was distributed by Geo. Monro of Waltham Cross UK, any information regarding maker and what it was used my guess is a seed distributer due it having several precise holes in the front box

The BVAA Rally held at Springwood Park Kelso in the Scottish Borders May 14/15 2022 I arrived on Friday set up the van said hello to some old friends which I had not seen since before lockdown one of who was Uncle Albert (Kenny)

that last picture looks remarkedly like the one on mom why is it included as it shows nothing like locality of sale area

Hi Norm is Heathersgill rally on this year

Many years ago we had a German Shepard with a similar fence at the bottom of our garden ( which backs onto a railway line ) when he was a pup he disappeared every day ending up next door and Sylvia used to ask for him back. Unknown to us some of the bottom nails had rotted, we watched him one day, look around then with a paw he moved the board and clambered through we used to find him sitting eating biscuits next door

Some recent finds including Wolf Lawn Edger, two types of Wolf Millers or cultivators, Myson Bucket Sprayer

Happy New Year to everyone think positive we MIGHT get some rallies this year my thoughts are with those who have passed away and those left behind

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year looking forward to see how many clubs have survived these last two years

Many happy returns Norm you are slowly catching me up

I have finally started sorting out one of my sheds not much but it is a start at least I can see some of the floor

Earlier in the year I bought a job lot of Colwood Motor Hoes manufactured by Dashwood Engineering supposed to be non-runners one is of particular interest, powered by a J.A.P. 2A engine dating from 1943 what is strange is it does not have a gearbox just a leather belt from small pulley on engine to larger pulley and then chain drive to the steel wheel after a bit of fettling and fresh petrol it runs took it for a stroll at a brisk walk
