Good morning all I haven't posted much in the last couple of months been busy with my now young family and work so time is at a premium , for the last five years I've had my workshop in an old tram shed in Sheffield as this has served me well  and my friends who restore busses it's time for us to leave due to our land lord wanting to expand his business in to our building which this has gave us a final push to go due to the roof  been in such a bad state ( it leaks )   So we have been on the look out for a new building in view to buy so we have found our new home which is clean and dry and secure , since me Nathan and Sam started packing things away it's amazing what we have found things we thought was long gone . 
Any way I've being buying pallet racking to utilise space so we can have things in the air here is a few pics so far more to come

Hi All
Judging time again,  ground hard at bits stony but we were all ploughing in the same field, if you got a hard bit oops if you caught a stone oops, again we all had fun and we have been invited to another three ploughing matches, the wee tractors are making their mark also good comments all round

Just picked this up, nice machine and all works. Even has the bag and the original brochure which I understand is rare. Bag is unfortunately not original but at least it has one. Engine runs a treat and great fun to drive.

Wow mark that is serious kind of cool matey brilliant 

Had a day at the above. Had an interesting if tiring day. 600 acres to walk round. Not much in the horticultural line I afraid.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 

Another exhausting update, but only a small one..
 
Working out how to get the down pipes into the big pipe without having any pipes in front of the radiator and making sure the down pipes are the same length has been fun!
 
It's still work in progress but it's heading in the right direction
 

 

 

 
 
The down pipes almost look like part of the chassis/frame from the front, but it may just be a slightly blurred photo that's creating the illusion
 

I wasn't trying to claim it was new...  My Lawnflite uses the same system to get 7 speeds...  I was merely trying to squeeze another gadget - and gear lever onto Bendy.
 

 
I've a thing about knobs and levers, also looking forward to printing some 12 speed stickers...
