  1. 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.DSCF2507.JPG.52b727df2d76224543a66c81457aaf39.JPGDSCF2517.JPG.2b1c35b50d37365e13eb0fd4339d9780.JPG

  2. 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

  3. 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


  4. 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
