Looks good Chris.   Are you sure that's the same seat, looks too clean.  The front hitch's are handy even though I was starting to get the hang of reversing a trailer.   A not very flexible neck doesn't help. A few years ago John and I often had a loaded trailer front and rear.  Something different.   A trailer being towed is a trailer.  What is a trailer called while being pushed.

Push me, pull you ?

As a few of you know Alan and i have been clearing a friends collection.

As all the ride-on tractors have gone we've been useing a Wheelhorse B115 to tow a trailer and move stuff about.

Last weekend while at Ringmer i sold the tractor so needed to find something else for Alan to use and this will fit the bill.

It came from Johns collection months ago and was reputed to be one of his favourites, it had a duff gearbox but luckily i found a replacement not far away.

Its got a John type hitch on the front and will help Alan to put the trailer where we need it instead of trying to reverse it and twist his neck.

ive fitted a pair of AGs on the back to aid getting around and cleaned the seat.

Forgot to say its a 1974 Wheelhorse 800 3 speed but as it was made in Belgium its listed as  B80 4 speed.

Its normally a good show with lots of stalls and exhibits and free camping in the camping field.

Looks a bit muddy round the stalls, at least you was wet on the inside aswell. 

Ive got a pair with tyres i can sort out for you for £50 the pair.

Im down near Brighton on the coast

Well done both of you, they look good

You rotten s++ Chris.   Both my favourite tractors now gone.   Suppose I'll have to use the wheel barrow to tow the trailer now.  Norm, can you rig up a hitch for it. ?

Don't worry Alan, i might have another tractor somewhere we could use, 

Now sold. 

Arrived Friday afternoon and just managed to set up camp before the rain started.

During the night we had heavy rain and strong winds and 2 stalls lost their gazebos, Saturday was fine until lunchtime then it all started again and it really chucked it down most of the night.

Sunday morning was bright and sunny but windy, loads of exhibitors turned up and we had a brilliant day, the ground dried up quickly and I managed to get out without a tow.

Heres a few photos for your enjoyment.

Looking good Norm, we'll have to find something else to do while your down.
