the showman

Thanks boys, its been a busy day with lots of surprises that I didn’t expect. Thanks again.

Sorry to see your not coming down this year, you’re gonna miss a good show

Still waiting for your entry Andrew If anyone needs a form just PM me and I can email it to you.

Good idea with the axle pin Norm.

Exhibitors who came last year should have their entry forms by now, This year we have made a few changes and there will be a lot more attractions coming to include classic cars/motorcycles more children entertainment plus lots more. The Horticultural section will have a working area as well as our usual arena display so we’re looking for more exhibitors to join us. As some will know Pestalozzi has been sold and we are unsure of future events on this site so we would like to make this show the biggest one yet. Anyone that wants an entry form please PM me and I can send or email you one .

Does it look like this one Norm ?.

Thanks for your kind comments lads, it’s a tough time for me as I miss her so much.

As far as I know it will be on the same site as 2018

Good progress Norm, are you painting the front wheels silver or the back wheels white ?

Ive got a nice big gas blow heater if you want to borrow it.

Some good progress there Norm, looking good.

Here's a reminder Norm for the axle seals

All that writing you didn't leave room for the photos.

I. Think you’re past the point of no return now mate.

Happy birthday Koen, all the best for today matey.

Looking good so far, I like your gantry,

Kohler 10hp K241 rare AS model. Spec number 46695d , Serial number 7051812. Fuel tank needs cleaning out and missing straps also missing the air filter. Comes with exhaust and electric pto. Can be heard running. £100.

Moved this into the shed , tidied up the wiring and changed the earth lead now it spins over and has a spark at the plug. I’ll put some fuel in it tomorrow and it should start.

Bit late for sand blasting now I’ve painted it.

Gotta speculate to accumulate.

The Commmando 8 looks good

Good display Dave.

Made some good progress today after getting it off the bench, i put it on a sack trolley and got it from the workshop to under the carport. It was quite easy to fit it into the quick hitch on the front of the Raider 12, the flag was easy to fit on the lift lever and all I had to do was put a 1/2" spacer on the lift rod to get a bit more height. The next hour was spent looking through all my belts and was lucky to find one that fitted. Bolted some more bits on so the parts box is almost empty and as darkness fell I fired the tractor up and ran the blower, spinning well and fast and the best bit the right way.

As some of you know I bought a couple of Toro GWT's earlier in the year, one complete that I sold on and one brand new that I'm keeping. On a previous visit to my friends place and having a rummage in the yard I found the other one and it seemed silly not to have it as a spares tractor. Its been stored since the late 70s and in a sorry state but it's all there and was well worth the money.

Spares will be hard to. Find over here, have to get them sent over from the States
