Sounds as though it may be similar to Owatrol which can either be added to paint or applied by itself as a patina preserver.This cultivator was just given a wash with hot soapy water and the a coat of Owatrol to preserve the original rust, paint and patina, preventing further deterioration .

The title says it all, Ewan has spent half the summer on his cub. We've not got much footage, a bit of a play on a rainy Boxing Day seemed like a good idea. Until he conked out
The little cub was towed back to the shop and Ewan will no doubt be doing a restore thread

A well built and solid looking machine

Present for the WH Commando 8 arrived today all the way from the USA
 
Front and rear hubcaps, second hand and needing a clean up, they are not perfect but not bad and will finish the
tractor off a treat...
 
 

I saw a couple of lads wheeling this sprayer and had a chat with them, It's a Drake & Fletcher Mistifier, made in Maidstone, Kent. They bought it in the bring and buy sale.

Not ideal weather today for a gathering but a few vintage vehicles got together at the South Downs garden centre at Hassocks
we went for a quick look (and some lunch and present shopping), there is a Heritage Centre that will be reopening next March
after a major refit, should be well worth a look and a potential Meet and Greet venue methinks...
 
 

I've got a couple of Solo bits as well, a generator and a chainsaw....

Kara tells me she is not too big for her tartan bed it is her bed that is too small what do you think
   
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hi all
The so called bath tub is a broadcast seeder from the late 1800 early 1900 it straps around your waist,you sow  with one hand and hold onto the peg with the other then swap hands at the end of the field I have also a Scottish seeder that you use both hands to sow with more pics later   

Hi Rolloman,

He has about 120 of them!

As I'm sure some of you know one of my larger collections is of Tarpen equipment
 
Tarpen made all sorts of electric and shaft drive machinery and this is one that was on my want list
 
It's a Tarpen Swifsure 110 volt circular saw, it looks a bit of a beast !!
 
The cable on it was knackered so that will be replaced in due course

Great to see those videos, here's hoping your health issues are sorted soon. You seem to have a good collection of working tractors and space for more!

I'll have to change my profile picture to reflect the patch now on the other eye. I've had to have another surgery on the eye, The "good" eye was not that good and I do not see well with it without using the page enlarging glass. Right now I see double and foggy, School work has been difficult, as is typing or reading. I had a stack of limbs and branches in the back field about 3 meters high by 6 meters wide/deep that I went to set afire Sunday. I grabbed the wrong can and doused it with 2 gallons of Gasoline, not Kerosene, When I lit it it blew up. Many small splinters embedded into my arms, burns to my arms and forehead, hair mostly gone, rough week. My wife is typing most things for me as they cant get me back into the eye doctor until November 13th. Still waiting to be scheduled for colonoscopy from the Veterans Administration to check to make sure cancer is not back, that test was due the end of June, still no word on a date. I got another Wheel Horse D160 kohler single cylinder, I might have posted its loading and unloading, well I got a nice  56 inch blade and 48 inch deck for them last week. and installed the blade.The plan is to buy another 3 point and 8 new tires for both tractors, one set of Turf tires and one set of AG tires, that will set me back about 1000.00 by the time I buy one set of 4 bolt hubs and a set of 10 inch rims for the AG tractor. I've installed the 48 inch deck on the Allis Chalmers 416 Shuttle and have completed one complete mowing cycle with it. It is VERY strange to have a 4 speed hydro. I still need to adjust the belts a little as reverse is not set to good standard, cuts great though and handles great with Carlisle All-Trails and 18x6.50-8 up front. BTW, those 50lb rear Allis wheel weights were only made for the Allis 400 series and I have never seen another set.

I've just got to clean the tank and carburettor out and away we'll go. Took it to the Brinkworth Show on Sunday with my others. I've been promised a Vee-plex pulley and this one will take it because it's not got a reverse gear....

This ingenious use of an old push bike was seen at a small show in Melbury Abbas, Dorset in 2011. the chain wheel, which is fitted with teeth, drives the tines which are built on the bicycle rear hub....
