the showman

Some nice stuff there, I like the American postal van, handy being right hand drive too

Looks like you had a good display of stuff, sorry I couldn't make it

Thanks Chris, I guessed it was but wanted to make sure

These arrived this morning in my postbox. Many Thanks to Titch for a brilliant job , i spose I'd better get my paint brush out.

Did a little more research on this and it would appear to be a 1972 10" inch plough

Anyone recognise this plough please

Its on its way Doug.

Had time to get the plough out of the van and have a better look at it. Found a id tag under a coat of paint and managed to scrape it off to reveal the maker and serial number, next was to free off the adjuster which didn't take to much. The wheel was free so i just lubricanted that, i also freed off the bolts to enable height adjustment. on the hitch end I noticed that was adjustable so freed off those bolts. The fitting plate bracket thingy is welded on at an angle so i can only assume that when ploughing with the 2 offside wheels in the furrow the plough will be upright, ( your comments please ). heres some photos

While your waiting you can make one of these.

Watch out for this arriving shortly Doug

I think we should clear the rest of the wood to see if theres any wheel weights nearby

And it fits my new hitch.

And the wheel goes round

Spent my usual Tuesday rummaging though the brambles and to my surprise this got uncovered from it's hiding place

Hiya mate and welcome to the forum, first thing to do is get some photos posted then we know what we're looking at. your get loads of help.

Lucky ive got a few then .

Today was spent modifying the plough to stop it swinging left and right. welded a small bit of 1/2" plate with 2 bolts and lock nuts similar to my other plough. see photos

Your need one of these Doug, PM me your postal address and I'll send it up

If your getting belts Andrew I'd be interested in some for mine .

Did anyone see how much the wheelhorse made ?

I might have a axle bracket in the shed, I'll look and get back to ya

Just had a look at mine, its the same number. 7 1252 / 99388. its a 1975 36"

Ive bought one a few weeks ago Doug also missing the bracket and pulley and belt. ive got some photos and dimensions of the last one i made, I'll see if i can find them later tonight for you. pity you don't live nearer, we could have a joint build.

Got the Barford plough fitted today after making up the mounts and plns, I'm not happy with the way it swings from side to side I might do a small modification later

Yes Nigel, one to one
