Sorry Kev and Paul, I couldn't resist putting this one up
 

I built this out of what I had lying around, in anticipation of snow last winter. I'm still waiting.
 First a frame was made using some 1-5/8 bore pipe and box section.
 

 
 Then the front end put together
 

 
The blade was made at the local smithy. No rollers big enough, so it was curved in stages on a folder.
 
I made my own tach-o-matic for the rear.
 

 
Then this dodgy character nicked it.
 

 
 

This was a great line up of ransomes mg crawlers at Ardingly 2012

If you have any pics or information about any unusual garden tractors regardless of make or even homebuilds , why not post them here & share them with us.
Here are a few that i have found on my travels



 
 
 

Whilst trawling through some of my dads old literature from the years he had his own horticulture engineering business I found these and thaught you all might like to see them.

Still my favorite band of all time!  Listen EVERY day!
 

Superstars.
especially the  lead singer

No more work for this one, its kept clean dry polished and covered up...
 

 

Just insuring that we're friendly to the target audience. (and corner the market hahahahaha!)

Hi Darmac1 Joined up tonight ....looks a great site....great to see your Howard gem posted up here....I am as you know restoring a similar machine...will try and post photo later in week....not going to reach your standard though!!!

What the heck, we own both now.
 
MyOldMachine.COM
MyOldMachine.CO.UK
 
It will take a while for the .CO.UK to propagate around the world, but by tomorrow you can reach here either way but it will ALWAYS show .com in the browser once you're here.

That's funny!  But it's a "Totally Awesome day Dude!"

For 1 horse power, that machine makes quick work!

yes i had a great day, i wish you could see this in the flesh karl it is the best engineered project i have ever seen built in a garden shed,
(usa translation)- i had an awesome day its a pitty you cant sit your butt on it karl its the damdest best custom build ive seen coming out of a back yard shop

here's one of my all time favourite tractors - A Roadless Super Dexta. It's what has inspired me since being a teenager to own/make a 4x4 tractor. The front axles were military design, and the mods were made by a UK company Roadless traction.
 

You're probably not that pretty either

In between the torrential rain, cleaning the drain in the front of the shop, and mopping up where it leaked in...
...and checking the forum all day, I managed to pull a few pics, words and music together and do a short trailer for my YouTube channel. It's Also on the Facebook page too.
