  1. Happy birthday matey, hope you have a great day with lots of presents and cake,
  2. I sprayed it with 2k but horrible thing to paint especially the auger. Some of the metal is pitted and it didn't seem worth spending lots of time pugging it up to stick it into snow drifts so I just wanted to protect it against the eliments more than anything.
  3. Beautiful sunny day down in the Deep South, do you want to see my red bits,
  4. Got the auger and axle, wheel brackets and wheels clean and shiny today and applied a few coats of red primer.
  5. Had a look at getting the first part assembled today. The bolts that hold the wheels on were the first thing to do, one missing and one snapped a little warm up with the gas torch and the bit came out I then ran a 3/8 tap through the hole and found a couple of bolts in stock from an old mower deck. I now have enough to get the Auger fitted and on wheels, might give it a coat of paint first.
  6. Looks like it's a 1975 with electric start and special oil pan
  7. Happy birthday matey, have a good time.
  8. Having a clearout and found this. Its a 3 HP Briggs, turns over with compression but no spark might be worth a tenner for parts ?
  9. Managed to get the serial number which is 7051812
  10. Happy birthday mate, hope you had a great day.
  11. Just spent the weekend at Ardingly, arrived Friday afternoon in lovely sunshine. Saturday started well until lunchtime then the rain spoiled the rest of the day then on Sunday it was bright and sunny which brought in the public and it was packed, in all a very enjoyable show. Heres a few photos.

  13. Your right Richard I didn't notice that, bloke said it was a 12
  14. While I was at Kingsfold last weekend this turned up. Its a 37 inch Wheelhorse snowblower, it's had all the rusty bits welded up and looks all there even comes with new bearings, seals, cable pulleys and chain.
  15. While I was at Kingsfold last weekend I picked up this engine and just had chance to unload it. Its all complete apart from the air filter, has the wiring loom , solenoid, exhaust, starter and coil, it turns over with compression. dont know what it's out off but has an electric pto and the crankshaft sticks out of the wire screen. Comments welcome, here's some photos.
  16. I was there that weekend Richard, as I remember Johns crew chef was driving a shadow with all his tools and kit thrown in the back
  17. Just brought a copy of November Tractor and Machinery and there's a good write up about Rural Past Times. Heres some photos.
  18. Its a bit different to drive from the first time I drove it,
