Well done Matt, looks great

My new decals showed up today!   There is nothing that adds the finishing touches like new stickers. My new plug wire came in as well. After installing new points, and condensor, she has a nice blue spark jumping across the plug. I ordered the new ID tag from the same people I ordered my valves from, so no doubt it will still be a few days before it arrives.  Here are a couple pics.

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

Offered a chap some money on this a couple of weeks ago and he accepted, doh ! Picked it up yesterday but dont know what model or year it is, 8hp kohler 3speed tranny number 71-08 K4 any idea chaps ?

Had a chance to unload this today and get it in the workshop on the bench, first job was to charge the battery and put some fuel in the tank, the wiring is all been butchered so had to hotwire it she spun over and fired up, no smoke and no rattle's, there seems to be an issue with the gearstick where as the stick is all floppy and have a job to get any gears,i'll have to investigate that next week

The C160 is all up and running now so I got it out of the workshop and had a drive round, I have to say its a bit strange to drive and will take a bit of prattice to get the hang of it

Glad I didn't go, i would have come home with a trailer load of stuff

Here ya go Matt

The band need a drummer and the the old volvo tractor? filled in.

A good show to start the rally season, Tractor World at the Three Counties Showground at Malvern had a good line up
of tractors and a well supported Horticultural section
 
In the Horticultural pedestrian machine class the Mackellow and Wakefield entries cleared the board with Jimbos ATCO
machines coming first and third with our Jobber display in second place
 
I will update with the other class results when I get the information, meanwhile here's some photos from Friday (setup day)
including some of the entries in the auction...
