    Spooky, mine was waiting on the mat when I got home, I had a flick through and saw that. I have to 'fess up and say I'm the reader that sent the letter in...

     

    Ah thats good then, I replied to Patrick the editor with a couple of photos he asked for some more so he could do a small article...

    Very nice, that one looks to be in great condition too! What is the little nut just above the handle grip! Is that part of a kill switch?

     

    Yes I was guessing kill switch (or what's left of it)

     

    Unit now treated to new cowling decal and its on the shelf with its mates, with appropriate literature...

    Oh yes! Chris likes his tea. On the hour, every hour. :D

     

    Aye us Southerners do apparently !

     

    Chris is still in Haywards Heath Hospital and his therapy sessions are continuing, sounds like he is making progress

     

    Keep going Mr Showman ! :thumbs:

     

     


  4. Update on The Showman

     

     He has now been moved to Haywards Heath hospital which has a specialised stroke unit

     

    Unfortunately he now has covid as well !  :(

     

    The good news is his left side which at the time of the stroke was not working at all is coming back, Chris can lift his left leg and arm and can clench his left hand into a fist

     

    Keep fighting mate we are all with you !  :thumbs:

  5. This arrived today, a test report by the National Institute of Agricultural Engineering (NIAE) in the UK on a model J compact engine.

    An interesting read, nearly 3 hours into a 24 hour running test the gearbox siezed due to a broken tooth and parts from another engine were used to repair it.

    A further 16 hours later and the unit was stopped for excessive clutch slip.

    The NIAE concluded that this unit is "not suitable for general farming use", so not exactly a thumbs up then ! :(

  6. Just got off the phone to Chris...

     

    He is waiting to be transferred to a speicalised Stroke Unit at Haywards Heath hospital, hopefully in the next few days

     

    He's missing his own bed and very bored !!

     

    All the best Mr Showman

  7. Just to let you good folk know on here, Chris Sutton rang me this afternoon, he has had a stroke and a bleed on the brain and is in intensive care in Brighton Hospital.

     

    Not good news, I have known Chris quite a few years and he is a good mate, please join me in wishing him all the best for a speedy recovery

    Thanks

     

    Paul
