Great photos Norman thank you I am sorry I missed what was obviously a great day.

Many thanks Norman lovely day in the sunshine

Very nice I am envious of the gang mowers. Do you have the rear three point linkage?

I don't have one but I think that you can download one from the net, there are a number of companies that do it at a cost. Any pictures of your machine and tools?

Very smart now I see why you were at the woodyard!

That is good news keep on trucking Chris!

Here's hoping for a full recovery Chris it will take time .

So sorry to hear that hope all goes well Chris.

what a shame Norman I hate seeing trees that have been weakened and ultimately destroyed by ivy looks as if there could be more to come unless someone takes an axe to the ivy stems. Take care when you cut it. JC

Happy Birthday Norman have a good day . How is the pup doing?

blocked main fuel jet in carb?

Cute ! You must have decided you have a few years left in you !!

New Pup????????

Have a good day Mark

Excellent photos as usual Norman many thanks for sharing. Looks like a good day out.!

I came across these pictures today have you seen them before? One of my Turf Trax was originally a bank mower.

Be a lot better without three sand skimmers !!!

My old MG2 from feb 1936 is about to go to a new home in Gloucestershire. Rebuilt from a pile of scrap in 2016 to as near ex factory as I could get it, it is now time for it to go to a new home, not without a fight though it has not been run for three years so a good day was spent stripping the car. magneto, de- compressor . Surprised myself that I managed to crank start it without immediate cardiac issues!. Last time it was shown I covered it in a mix of WD40 and oil which over the years has collected dust so that it now has a patina that looks it's 86 years. I managed to get it to run and had a good charge around the garden for old time sake. Sad to see it go but too many projects left to deal with. As far as I know 137 is the oldest known MG2 crawler being number 36 of the line, it has the Sturmey Archer 600cc side valve engine fitted with the chain crank starter mechanism, open exhaust and flat top engine cowling fitted with a cycle brake lever to operate the decompressor.

The design is very clever if you hit a rock or a stump instead of potentially stalling the tractor the blade snaps forwards against the tension of the two big springs . Once clear of the obstruction you stop or lift the blade and it snaps back to normal.

No but I got a nice new pallet and a load of twist wire included.!

Best £100 I ever spent !

Cruel to be kind Norman last year some must have got into my garages and been shut in starving to death so keep them out or make a way so they can fly in and out.

Managed to get it fitted and operational spent a few hours levelling off the drive and made a huge difference, really pleased with it has to be my bargain of the year new price in the States is $1600

Free to a good home if anyone wants to collect it from Cumbria.

Thank you Norman I will give you a shout. JC
