I relly like the ford county tractors , i rember my father building them at the Fords Dagenham plant & i used to be able to go to the factory on Saturdays & play on some of the tractors . wouldnt get away with it now

Koen , The book is shipped from USA direct from the author Michael Martino , he will even personally sign it for you if you require . Like most things being shipped from US it can work out a little expensive , but this book is well worth buying . Im sure Karl will back me up here , the first edition is now so rare that prices have reached upto $300 US dollers on Amazon The final edition in my opinion is the best of the 3 as it contains the most litreture . The first edition is the pic below If you wish to purchase a copy you can visit redsquare & purchase a copy directly from there or you can contact me & i will put you in touch with the Author

Nice bit of kit Paul , I especially like the th little green cart/trailer I didnt realise you could run a flexi drive from one of the gardners

that looks great fun , do you still have any trikes left Nigel . Like the sharks head in the garden

Love the front wheel hubs , how did you do those ,& what are the hubs off of?

That is just Totes amaze Ian

Wow Matt , Gary`s Case tractor looks a real treat , i bet you would struggle to ever let that one go eh . Your Buddy Gary would have been delighted how it turned out . I think i may have seen one or two of those here in the UK but there wouldnt be many kicking around . The US has a far greater selection of Garden tractors than the UK . I think the reason why Garden tractors are more popular in US than UK is that your homesteads are far bigger & you have more of them than we do & besides Britain was really quite poor after the second world war so people couldnt afford these tractors not until the early 60`s when Britain started to import more Garden tractors

Now that really is going back to the old days

If there is any interest in this book , please contact either me or Karl for information

Water level is pretty high Mark . My house has taken quite a battering this winter with lots of damage to trees , fences even the house has been hit . gonna cost me afew quid to put right i think .

Now we all love a good book Does anyone have any books that they would recommend . here is one that is well worth buying Everything you need to know about the history & products of wheelhorse garden tractors This is the last & final book of 3 editions that Michael wrote & the information that he got came straight from the horses mouth Cecil Pond inventor of wheel horse products well worth buying while they are still on sale about the wheelhorse History by Michael A Martino Jnr with CD inside

Ah yeah but well worth the effort in hunting for the stuff , thats half the fun

Looks like great fun was had by all , good video Ian Nigel looked like he enjoyed himself too

Those dexters are really good tractors & very popular in UK too

Actually Karl you are probabley right , my face does look like its launched a few ships
