The widow across the green has bought me a bottle or two of Speckled Hen. In return for favours I've done for her.

Poor old lad.

By 'eck! That dog grew up quick. Nice low, maintenance garden.

Well done Ian.

I thought that was what I saw in that last trailer. Keep your workshop warm.

If the tractors got air con.

Nice place.

Well done. You'll soon have that tidied up.

Mature, Chris. Just Mature!

Talking to a chap from over your way on Friday, Mark. He was telling me all about it. Had a right hooley of a thunderstorm with torrential rain, over at the caravan Saturday morning.

We've decided to part with our Spitfire. 1976 1500. 12mths m.o.t. 6mths tax. Fair condition for a 40yr old, though not concours. Thinking around £2500 o.n.o. PM me for more info.

Lucky the donor mower turned up. Soon be cutting grass.

Take the sides and ends of the longer trailer. Add hecks at either end, throw some hay on and you'd have a great show piece behind a tractor.

Great photo's. I'd like the half track. A real beast.

You can be a proper, (nearly), Showman now, Chris. Tow two trailers at the same time.

Does that trailer load include the trailer? The way your going your name will change to Steptoe.

Happy birthday Mark. A the best.

Well done with the reel, Richard. And those caps look the business painted silver.

It is indeed from the early 60's. Also I got the Major's age wrong. That's '56. It's me age.

Managed to get a bit of workshop time today and got some bit jobs done on the Black Horse. (1) Clutch pedal rod adjuster nut freed off. Pedal doesn't need pressing as far forward now. (2) Slight play in right rear hub taken out. About 6 thou difference in hub bore and drive shaft diam. Sorted by use of hammer and centre punch to inside of hub. Crude but effective. Nice and tight now. (3) New gaiter fitted to bottom of gear lever. (4) Stop made and fitted to prevent brake pedal from coming to far back. (5) Is on going. Cleaning up a pair of scooter split rim wheels I got at Newby Hall. These are just right for fitting to the front with tri ribs on. Goodness knows what they've been painted with, but it's like concrete. Ready to paint now, after some filler is applied to the rather corroded insides. (6) Started to clean up the front tachomatic. BTW. The little tool box, along with a second, is an MF item.

Brilliant!

1930's does seem a bit early. I'll see if I can find a ID plate sometime.

Not fair. I want one. To fit one of the Wheel Horses though.

'Ow do Mark. Can't help you with any info, but look forward to photo's and rebuild reports.
