the showman

Thought that would please you.

Had a bit of time on mine today after getting new nuts and bolts yesterday.
I've cleaned all the rust off and freed every thing off so its all adjustable and painted it with red primer, here's a coupl of photos

During the show on Saturday the working area will be open all day for ploughing or whatever you want to do except for arena times and as they have given us our own slot and there will be a few of us i will expect everyone to support it, they may even give us two slots, one in the morning and one afternoon.
On Sunday it will be much the same except ploughing will finish at 3' oclock, if you have harrows you can carry on as we need to get the field back to how it was before you lot dug it up.
I know we're all going to have a good weekend and i would like to thank you all for your support

You've got little hairy legs Nigel.😎😂😂

If they were vandalised in red paint they be in my shed 😀😀😀

Its a chicken plucking machine dating from 1933 we think, it's powered by a 1 HP Stuart Turner water cooled engine.
The engine turns over and the machine all rotates so hopefully won't take long to fire it up

As you see i had to get back into the dark depths of the caravan as last time I spotted something buried behind all the furniture and I wanted another look.
Suitable dressed I ventured in and started pulling out the furniture and stuff and found the machine the only problem was the roof had come down and i had to jack it up to move the said item.
Finally I managed to get it out into the daylight so here's some photos

Wheel conversion all  done and dusted now. A bonus is the steering is a tad lighter.
 

 

Happy birthday Richard, have a nice chilled out day

Spent the day at Ringmer after all the rain we had yesterday I didn't bother taking the caravan but it wasn't as muddy as I thought anyway heres a few photos of today and i'll do some tomorrow.

This is a vintage agricultural weekend held at Pestalozzi village in Sedlescombe Sussex ( tn33 0uf ).
I've been going to this show since it started a few years ago and last year i was asked to take over the Horticultural section,it was very short notice and didn't have time to promote it.
This year I'm looking for exhibitors to support me with this show.
I've secured a good spot in the middle of the site and there will be a working area that is useable all day, there will be an arena display on both days so whatever you want to do with your machine nows your chance,
This is a working weekend so whatever your interest its there, there will be plenty of stalls and a silent auction as well as live music, beer tent and plenty of food.
There's free camping on a nice flat field just a short walk away.
So come and have a fun weekend if you want to work your machine or just chill out, this will be a good show with your support, pm me for an entry form NOW

Didn't take any today as my camera isn't an underwater model , at least I took it with me just in case it stopped

I agree with Norm, the grille looks good.

Much better off nice and cosy in a partly crushed caravan, covered in dust, bugs, BIG spiders and being watched by - - - - - - something.
