John and I had a good day today with Mr Showman who came to collect a van load of goodie's. As with all of our visitors, he had a good sniff around and kept spotting and loading things which he hoped Mrs Showman wouldn't see when he arrived home.
Just in case Mrs Showman did spot his latest haul and was about to give him an ear bashing, he also loaded a collection of unusual bottles as a peace offering.
A few pics of the load and not a Bolens in sight. Thanks again Chris.
Thanks to our regular customers, John and I have cleared more of the Bolens Stash, although there were only a few Bolens related items leaving home this time.
First off were a load of various rotavators.
The second load of goodie's disappeared before I could take photo's.
For some reason, this lathe took a lot longer to extract from the shed and load onto the trailer. Plenty of time for photo's though. We all thought Tom had killed the hoist when oil started running down the hose. Turned out to be a slightly loose banjo bolt. Would have caused MAJOR problems if the hose had split.
Chris and his 1886 made light work of moving the lathe up to where the truck was parked.
Just about to set off for pastures new after a long and tiring day.
John and I would like to thank all involved for, once again, helping to clear more of his collection. Still lots more to go, but everything Bolens which we could find has now gone, apart from a little ride on mower. We can now see big holes which weren't there before. Still more holes to dig though.
The County 1124 for me anytime. Used to work on them in my younger days, driving those and other models from County's main assembly line, up through Fleet town, to the final finishing and dispatch department. Bits added or altered to customers spec, and then loaded onto trucks.
Chris, if you are going to make one of TWOSE from your horsy bits, you will need that large garden roller from Johns stash. The roll is in two sections which will save a lot of hacksaw work.

OK Richard. Thanks.
It was your post on the 15th that made me wonder if you wanted another challenge. Looks like Paul will soon
have another toy to play with.
