the showman

Here's a little film for Norm

Happy birthday Alain, hope you have a brilliant day.

Brilliant job done George, if i could get mine half as straight I'd be well pleased. top marks mate.

Looks good, well done all involved.

Looking good Richard, nice when new bits arrive.

Many happy returns of the day, hope you have a good one.

Nothing moves in or out of my van now without a winch cable attached, might not be so lucky next time. its embarrassing too, there's always people watching at shows

I had a similar thing happen, i use to let the tractors idle and drive themselves in and out of the van until i was at a show unloading the rowcrop. It decided to kick the ramp out and being a trike fell on its side still running. It scratched all the bonnet and bent the exhaust and footrest. after the show i was loading back up and exactly the same thing happened lucky i was standing the right side on both occasions. ive loaded and unloaded dozens of times and never had a problem till then. Thats when I bought new ramps and a power in and out winch

I use ebay a lot, but Hugh Page at Heathfield are very helpful

Welcome to the forum John, always pleased to see another wheelhorse owner ( ive got the odd one or two ). i see the boys have answered your questions but keep us posted with your progress

Well supported show with a lot going on, unusual to see an engine driving a lathe. thanks for the photos

Spent the weekend at Ardingly, heavy rain on Saturday but quite busy and Sunday was bright and sunny. A good selection in the vintage section so here's a few photos

I wandered that Norm, can't find any makers name on them yet maybe on the rim under the tyre

Bit of a shot in the dark but does anyone recognise these wheels. i found them in a loft of a barn and liked the look of them, their alloy and 3.50 x12, thinking of putting them on the front of a wheelhorse with tri-ribs. started cleaning one up and they will look ok I think

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, , happy birthday dear Norm, happy birthday to you, , Hope you have a good day mate,

Looking good Rex, made a good job of the bonnet.

I will for sure Norm, I'm going to take an extra tractor

I shall be at this show at the weekend ( October 1 / 2 ). Judging by the horticultural support I got at Kingsfold I will be the only exhibit in the section

I like the " scope on a rope " I could do with one of those

Just received the club magazine, here's a picture

I shall be there Richard running the section, come and find me and i'll put the kettle on

I'm making a new frame to make it more user friendly and to fit in the van

Although this is on a back burner at the moment i came across a couple of bearings at Johns that just happened to be the right size for the axle. ive already got a stock of box section so just need to make some time to cut and weld up a new frame

Ha ha, that would confuse the postman and thats not hard to do .

Pam says she's lovely.
