Had a couple of spare hours today so I've done it bit more.
everything just about done and all up and running, I've moved it backwards and forwards in the shed , next job to get it out and try it round the garden.
Went to a bring and buy sale this morning organised by a stationary club I belong to, it was a complete waste of time as there was only a handful of people there.
It was held at the Hassocks garden centre so the traditional breakfast was the best part of the visit .
During the time i spent there the London to Brighton veteran car run was on and they trundled past the gate, it was quite cold and they all looked frozen.
Norman asked me to take my camera so here's a photo i took especially for him.
It was good to meet both Chris and Steve at the Showman's House this afternoon. I left Devon this morning having filled up the van with a mower deck and two implements for Jamie in Portsmouth to swap for a set of Bolens Disc Harrows for my Ride a Matic. Got rid of three implements for one implements. I then drove over to Chris Bolens outside Worthing where I bought a Bolens Ride A Matic front cylinder mower. That's 2 items now in my van. Still better than having three implements to store. I had a good natter with Chris and Leisa was an absolute gem providing lunch and two cups of coffee. After that I drove over to Peace Haven to see Chris and his WH project where I met the amusing Steve who regaled me with tales of his classic motorbikes. I do like that WH by the way and it fired up happily on my arrival with exhaust fumes in the shed where Chris was working his magic. I had a couple of cups of tea with Chris who then hoodwinked me into buying a chain harrow with red paint. I was frankly shocked at his boldness but he sweetened the deal by throwing in a working bench grinder in the deal which I shall use to grind off the red paint.... To top it all I started the day with three implements and ended the day with three implements.
Very pleased to have Triumph 66 visit me today, it was nice to spend some time with him over 2 cups of tea and have a catch up.
Of cause he wanted to look in the sheds and see the Raider burst into life.
Then it was time to go and obviously I couldn't let him go without him buying something red off me so we rang out his wallet and even helped him load up.
Started the day by snapping a terminal on the ignition switch, after an hour of raking through boxes I found another one.
that fitted i went on with the fuel tank and pipes also a new filter, found a rearlight so that went on and wired up, bolted down the seat and prepared the underside of the hood.
To top it all I started the day with three implements and ended the day with three implements.
Andrew.
