I am also looking forward to the Westwood D1200 as well. It was the first tractor I ever drove.
Here is a much younger me on the tractor, and tractor looked a lot better then (yes we do have two of them).
Thanks Alain. I believe the socket set is a Halfords Advanced which comes with a lifetime guarantee. This will not be something you will of heard of and it is not Snap-on quality but they have a good reputation. It is a combined metric and A/F set with 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 drive.
Thank you for the birthday wishes, I had a great day other than going to school. I got lots of lovely presents including a nice socket set from mum and dad.
Alan, no dad has not started on my half-a-horse yet and he thanks you for suggesting it
Andrew, this was my cake before dad started on it

Thanks Ewan but yours looks so much better than the one we made
Thanks Alan. The bit I forgot to mention was that we ended up with puncture on one of the front tyres. I don't think the tyre had ever been off and the repair was not easy. Putting the tyre back on the rim the tyre lever slipped off the rim and smashed dad in the face. His face ended up the same colour as the tractor
The tractor has done well but now needs a carb rebuild and a few other jobs doing to it and is waiting for it's turn in the workshop.

Yesterday we had a very busy day moving and cutting up firewood using our 1972 Bolens 1054. Our firewood pile is over 10 foot high in places hence the hard hat.
We made a video of the fun
