the showman

It didn't turn over, if it had been a Kohler i would have looked closer. It was a petrol Robin and I haven't got any of those so no good for spares

Sorry, Pam put my dinner on the table just as i was doing it

The farmer opposite offered me a ride on mower the other day before it goes in the scrap, when he said he didn't know the make only that it was red i got all excited. Well i went and had a look today !!!..................Oh dear, i told him to throw it in the bin

Exhibitors who came last year should be getting their entry forms this week, anyone else that would like to come just PM me . This year there will be a working area as normal and a field of potatoes to harvest that will need lifting and bagging so bring your kit.

Happy birthday matey, hope you have a great day.

Thats good, looking forward to seeing it in June

Another top job Ewan.

No one's got to go Andrew No, its a project mate

Yes that's what was suppied

Had some time today and as the weather was crap i thought I'd have an hour in the shed. First job was to clean the axles and shafts and remove the old oil seals, this was done by piercing the seal with a pointed tool then pull it out with a hook tool. i needed something to push the new seals in and used a short bit of water pipe and a piece of tube from a trampoline frame that just happened to be an exact fit, i put a bit of tape over the keyway slot so the new seal wouldn't snag up or get damaged. I used some rubber lubricant and they went in really easy.

Thanks Paul, it's deteriorated being in a damp barn but I think it will clean up and made to look better

While i was sorting out the first GMT I thought it would be silly not to have the other one. Its new and never been used but hasn't got the collector kit and deck with it, it was stored in a shed with a leaky roof and had the transmission pump removed to keep the other one going, After a few weeks of fiddling with the pump ive managed to repair it and fit it back in the tractor and its now up and running. Concidering its been stored since 1986 it's not to bad.

Happy Easter everyone, hope you all get lots of eggs . .

Thanks for the PHOTOS chaps, looks like it was a good show.

Happy Birthday Jonathan, hope you have a good day mate.

Probably not going this year as it clashes with the Smallholders show

I did plan to pop in this morning on my way up country but changed my mind when i saw the weather this morning Did you sell your mowers and engines ?

I guess your be there watching all your stuff sell Paul.

I did think about it last year when I showed it at a rally but I wanted too much money for it.

All the kids went out today and the sun came out so its playtime.

I've got a 63 Cub Cadet 100 somewhere in the shed.

Thats cool, wonder if they make attachments for it, maybe a sidecar ?.

Nice looking tyres Norm, certainly make a difference to the look of the tractor.

Thats a nice looking tractor, welcome to the forum Kevin.

Job for this week, get it out and washed off and up the drive under the car port
