What I'd like to know, is what did you see when you were looking down the exhaust pipe in the third photo, Alan?

And you told me those rings round your eyes were lack of sleep.

Ditto from me with above and special thanks to Phil with his cooking skills on Saturday night's BBQ. 

I think Alan liked this little homemade tractor.

Heres a few photos I took.

another Bolens with the bonnet up. 

Come and see me at the show Scott

Not long now, getting loaded up this afternoon. 

Had a brilliant weekend at the show after the rain on Friday, had a good line up of exhibits and a lot made it into the arena.

I think everyone enjoyed themselves and a big thank you to everyone for your support.

Heres a few photos.

Not sure if this will work

Ive had it fitted to a tractor and its all there and working as it should

I've had a Wheelhorse dozerblade kicking about for a while and decided to sell it as we don't get any snow down here.

i thought i would mount it on my Raider 12 just to make sure its all there and working.

fitting the frame i noticed that it has two sets of holes so i'm guessing it will fit a short frame tractor as well , the angle pin was seized and the rod to change the angle was missing.

An hour in the sweatbox and i freed off the pin and made another angle rod.

All fitted and working now, its nice to sit in the seat and lift the blade and angle it 45.o left or right, and not have to get off the tractor.

Quite impressed with the way it works, here's some photo's ( Norm ).

Looks like it was pulling it alright and the driver was enjoying it. 

Looks like a tidy tractor, plenty of patina, 

Last few days left to enter this show as its next weekend. .

We've got a good line up so if you wanna be part of it contact me ASAP. 

Let there be light,,,,and there was light,,,and you could see for miles.

excellant job mate, i like the raspberrys aswell

Ive still got a few exhibitor entry tickets left if anyone wants to come to the show, but times running out so contact me .

Gonna look well when finished. 

There's something very familiar about that Farmall 706 ?

Happy birthday Ethan, have a good day mate

Nice work Alan, at least we can get see where we're going in the dark coming back from the beer tent.

We fertilize with Treagra over here, keeps the limbs stiff

I need some of that. . 

I used some paint I bought off a stall at a show, It was old stock and a fiver a tin.

Not the sort of paint I'd use on a restoration but ideal for cleaning up attachments that are going to get used.

Looks good Scott, just need to screw it together now,
