Anglo Traction

Great pictures of your marvelous Tractors Koen............ I also like the large single Lamp/Reflector on your C-101. Thanks.

Excellent collection of Workers you have there Mike. That FEL on the Powerking look's Factory . Grease Caps on Marvin and the 73 '12' 8 spd, have you swapped them over?....thought maybe 73s were Red

Playing with English >German in Google is amusing

I've only run and tested it on Compressed Air so far Craig. Have the Ashpan Grate to finish (black Iron and Stainless Steel). I'll get to the Painted stage then fire it with Coal. Won't just leave it in a case.

guten morgen meine herren. Sorry, ich weiß auch nicht verstehen . Schönes Bild, obwohl ! Something to google on today

That Gentleman, is a pictorial record of B&S Engines unlikely to be found anywhere else. They are truly superb 'Works of Art' in their own right. I know who to ask for guidance when I'm lucky enough to stumble over an old 'Briggs'. Thanks Matt, I'm sure people will endorse the fact they just had to be on here.

Nice to have a break from something, but I over did it with 22 years break from the Engine !!!. Got back to regular use recently making bits for Kohler Carbs as some may know. Throttle Plates for example- Making a Mandrel- Finished and fitted-

Are you good for Carb parts Darren?. I noticed that Float? looks like it was put in the freezer !..... Villiers Junior?.

Yeah , Nice Work. The clue is the wall Socket and the semi 3d effect stood away from the Skirting board ?.

See the one in the last pic is a magnet for the Rosettes. Great looker and you have the front and Rear Wheel weights !! . Thanks for posting.

Very nice Darren, Earned many a Shilling Pocket Money in early 60s mowing with one of those. Excellent work all round. Thanks for posting pics.

Got 3 of these with a Wheel Horse rear section Cultivator (7-1722) They have an Image of an Elephant and the numbers 1135 stamped on them.....just wondered if anyone knows what UK machine they are from originally?. Blade width about 9" .

Good array of unusual machines...Did they use the same make of Engine for the different Models Steve?. ......and can you still get parts?

Can't make out what the hitch look's like Andy, it blends in with the brick (old eyes need repairing). Look's like your missing a couple of Standards and Shovels though, but do have the Clamps on the Rear Bar. The Shovels look the same as WH types, if so I have 2 WH ones I'll part with. Also have a number of new Plough Bolts.

Not sure how I missed this post of yours last night Steve, but that is one very fine example. I can see why you treasure it. It all look's right, the Tank Seat is great, as is the colour scheme. Well done. This is what this place is all about. Edit- it's also the same age as me and I know which has weathered the years better

Just as an 'aside' the thread subject, if you like pictures and have a few minutes, I did a Google search for 'Images of Old Machines' and there are some awesome images of Old Gear and Rusting Hulks...worth having look !

I like them all. I like the Skin design that Karl has produced for it, but as mentioned, it may be difficult to reproduce in physical form. I also like the Old 'Victorian Toffee Tin' styles from Titch......give's character to the subject of 'Old Metal' I'll throw in another possible complication here and enquire if there will ever be a need or likelihood for Embroidered Cap Badges?. A reasonable Simplicity in design would be called for if they were to be produced. If not, then there could be a compromise between a Forum Skin and the Logo...... My old Silk Screen Print and design skills don't feature in this day and age, suffice to say I agree the practicality of Block colours on Sticker Logos etc, but I like the idea of merging the Old Style into the stylish Forum Header !.......could that be achieved?. Spooky, Karl has just beaten me to it.

Has anyone thought about this yet?. I would imagine there would be a need for simple, but stylish design. Maybe people could submit their ideas....

That is a stunning job and machine Kevin. I was hoping you'd post it up here. Thanks

A Techy Aspera VS Powerplant ! . Interesting . Not been inside one of those. Good find Paul.

You thinking of a Pulse Jet Neil ,or a Flame Thower? ................that is one giant 'Blow Lamp'

Pressure Gauges are sensitive precision instruments. Depends if it measures water or air pressure. They have what is called a 'Bourdon Tube' inside that is at risk of damage if water settles in it and freezes. It is likely the gauge was made to order by another company such as Brannon (been around for a century), they produce the dial with the customer name... bit like Clock makers/retailers. Glass faces are replaceable. You shouldn't have a problem finding a 'Lister' Man or information......fix it up!. Good piece of 'Old Tackle'

Here's my 2 ...some before and afters (click images to enlarge) - 72 Raider ..abandoned for 18 years by original owner- As now...2011 Redsquare Calender Shot 74 C-120 Virtual scrap (note how the Footrests were forced to be fitted the wrong way on the crossbar support) - Now with Tri Ribs on the front

Are you missing the Pressure Gauge entirely ?, or do you have an original that may need replacing? . Wondering if you know what make/type you need exactly. Edit - Also Neil, you would have to go to the Museum in Reading to view the Drake n Fletch Docs, as they are not digitised online (yet). 120 documents on file for them and from the lists I've seen, some may well cover your Unit type.

Very nice group you have there. I like the high stance (Crop Clearance) of the BMB Presidents . Also like the Steering Wheel angle. Good Pic, thanks for posting.
