Got this cultivator today, don't know who its made by yet (haven't hunted around it for makers name) but found some Bamfords spanners with it. It has come from the same farm as my president so hopefully I will restore it and the president can pull it.

Below are some photo's of the traction engine built by my late father.
 
  It's an M.E. 1" scale traction engine designed by Henry Greenly and built by my father in 1946/47. My mother said it took him 18 months. Home from work, dinner then shed. I sometimes wonder how I got born.
  I haven't a clue how to run it and if memory serves, it hasn't run for 50 years. It will need pressure testing etc before it does. As to value?
 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 

Have sown some veggies today. carrots, spring onions, lettuce, beetroot, French beans, broad beans and put the canes up ready for the runner beans. Still got to put new potatoes in as well.

Hi All
I have spoke about my president in the introductions topic, thought it would be better in this part now.
The weathers been great in Hampshire today, so I managed to get some paint on the tractor.
I will post more pics as and when.

Hi , hear some photos of my john deere's,

I think the Frankin mint tractors although can be expensive but are well worth the money , do they only do the row crop Farmall type paul ?
 
Here are a few pics of my collection , i really need to get them put in a sealed display case as they are collecting quite a lot of dust at the moment .
I  started to collect the orange Fiat Hitachi construction equipment because i used to work for the company that were the sole importer of Fiat construction equipment and they used to get me a model every time i done some work for them .

Heres a farmall from franklin mint in its display case which has a mirrored bottom so you can see underneath. Your right they have fantastic detail, steering works so does throttle , pulley and the seat springs

Hi all
I will have a look at the makers stamp somewhen, I have loads of the above mentioned taps and dies kicking about.
If anybody would like the items pictured  you could have them as not much use to me.
