A little late posting this up, but here's a bit of WN action from Brenzett..
 
 

Great photos Paul , you going to get some of the rest of the show tomorrow they normally have some nice stuff there, oh and I see the showmans wearing new trousers instead of his pyjamas

And you, well everybody that's going 

Van unloaded and cleaned , loaded up with 4 tractors and the trailer and other stuff, garden and patio back to normal 

Posted a thread over on RedSquare but wanted to share over here too since everyone isn't a member over there.
This is being built quick to bring to the big Wheel Horse show in a couple of weeks. The feature tractors for this year are customs and since all of mine have been sold, I need to bring something.
Started with a Snow/Dozer frame and trip springs, front axle and spindles for handle bars and any other Wheel Horse part that will work to get as many as possible on there. Springer front end won't be operational for the show but is being built to work once there's enough time to do it. Still a long way to go but this is what's done so far and just mocked up. Things will change as it progresses.
 

 

 

Last day of prepping and still a lot to do but I'm not going to panic,. 
Not till this afternoon anyway

Ok then, Kinfastrax !!

Nice

Are he's not telling you the real story here, this has been blocking up my workshop for months it was owned by my boy Karl, now as you all know ime a bit of a grumpy git and have been moaning to Ian for months about it, so today I was ready to take Ian home and was sitting in my truck with the engine running  then I cought Ian doing the deal with my boy he came out with a big smile deal done,hit me right up the ribs he did, bought it from under my nose, caught me napping, 

Just popped in for a cuppa so here's a few photos of progress , the roundhoods are nearly out

Good work chris the 6x6 is on all 6 now 

Trachorse all finished and running nice, new fuel lines and filter, exhaust back on.
No 1 done three to go

You can have a drive of the 6x6!!!

Done a bit more today and made them to angle backwards.

Last lot of photos...
 

Well today I picked up my new toy(s) to keep my busy this year. As most of you know I've wanted a bigger scale tractor for a while now and the right opportunity came along last week. I will still be exhibiting my smaller rides on's at many shows and meets along with you lot but I now have something different to play with as well!.... can never have enough!   An old boy was selling his 1950 Ferguson TEA-20 tractor so I went and had a look, Its far from mint, but it starts, drives and all hydraulics work perfectly (the brake are a bit sharp too  ) It needs a restoration over the summer and thankfully new parts are readily available and at a quite cheap cost as well. I plan on replacing all the taps, caps, hoses, nuts, bolts, seat cushion and steering wheel etc, along with all new oils and filters and of course give it a good all round service. I haven't done much to it today in fact nothing at all, only check the oils and then go for a quick play over the back fields however all the name plates have been painted over out of curiosity I sat and scratched one off and it revealed a plate that read. SUSSEX TRACTOR LTD Ferguson Main Dealers 33 THE HIGH STREET, UCKFIELD so it turns out it started its life not very far from me at all.
 
I was very happy with the deal we had come up with and thought It cant get much better.... but then it did, the old boy was pleased I am going to restore it and show it again, after a chat he chucked in 2 Lister D engines with loads of spares, a water pump for the engines and some sort of root cutter. I already have one of these Lister D type engines so that now makes 3 of them  
 
Here is some pictures, I hope to keep you all updated as and when I do bits and bobs to the machines! 
 

Ewans Cub looks grand next to Bendy.
 
Good photo's, Paul. Look forward to seeing the rest.

And some more - having to do these in small batches as internet up here a bit hit and miss...
