Visiting a customer at work today and got chatting about different things like you do and we got talking about old garden tractors and stuff at which point he say "come with me young man I've got some thing that you might be interested in taking on" so off we pop to and old barn and he shows me this a converted (I think) bmb plowmate says he got it from a big old house years ago in a dispersal sale. He said I could take it on on one condition I didn't weigh it in as he wants to downsize his farm. Few more pics

I think a line-lock should be next on the list, then you could do flame burnouts

I am delighted that it went to a fellow enthusiast and I'm sure Darren is gonna enjoy her, I only wished I had time to spend on giving the 856 the TLC that she deserves .
This tractor is very rare here in UK as I only know of 3 others , I'm sure there must be more out there but still they are are rare find.
She needs a little tinkering & a good cleaning to get her going but when she was is running she was a strong & quick tractor .
I was quite reluctant to let her go but I had just bought a new to me Pick up and so needed some fund to recuperate , but I am delighted that someone will enjoy the 856 as much as I did.
Here is my latest arrival
More on her later

Just bought this little fella

A result then, well done Darren

Hello All, 
 
 
Last September when I was over one of my shows I picked up an old garden trolley that was slightly worn down it had no sides or anything of the sorts, I picked it up for a bargain price, and over the winter I've slowly been tinkering away with it getting it done a little by little ready for the first show of the year! which was the weekend just gone, I'll be uploading photos of that soon!....
 
I built the cart for my little nephew Tyler, so he can be pulled around the showgrounds or towed, and when hes old enough he can use it behind his own tractor hopefully!
 
 anyway here is the pictures of the stages, from start to finish! the last photo is him being pulled about like a king around the showground, its alright for some I guess!...
