Making progress then mate

Tank on the genny is ok, I just need to match the red and respray the cowling red, I have the decals for it so it should look ok (I hope)

Sorry about the balding prat with the camera, that's me...

Yer a brave man Norm...

Looks a good project Chris, well done mate !!

Great idea that will keep Mrs Showman happy !!

Patience is a virtue young man !!

Fame at last guys...

Bet that will have a coat of red on it soon !! Nice find Mr Showman

The previous owner had asked a friend of his to sort it out after the starter cord broke, I got the cowling back in bits, so a swap with the one on the parts engine seems to be the easier option

We aim to please...

OK thanks for the advice I do have a "parts" engine that I am going to rob the whole cowling from...

"Dear LAGT magazine The Third UK Wheelhorse roundup took place at the Newby Hall rally in North Yorkshire after two successful years in Sussex. A variety of machines were on display with over 30 Wheelhorses booked to attend. Amongst those entered were our 1968 Commando 8 with Cyclone spreader. There were also custom machines such as the Rowcrop tractor and Trackhorse from Chris Sutton and Project C4 4WD machine from Mark Smith. As with many UK events this year Newby Hall was disrupted by bad weather but we will be going back to do the 560 mile round trip to next years show" (I did send more than two photos, these were the two that were printed)

Sorry Charlie, I should have elaborated a bit, its a magazine from the USA, features are on all sorts of garden tractors and walk behinds

Something uncommon from me... a Wheelhorse post Latest issue of Lawn and Garden Tractor magazine arrived today, I had written to the editor regarding Newby Hall, my letter and photos have appeared in print...

Just to update you on this gathering, the date remains the same - December 7th - but the venue has changed, its now at the Plough and Horses pub, Walshes Road Crowborough TN6 3RE If you want to come along please contact me Thanks Paul

Not much mate, they made a rotary electric mower, chances of finding that pretty slim but I'll keep looking !!

Got this yesterday, its an O & R engine on a Tarpen rotavator, another Tarpen machine that I have been waiting to acquire for a long time...

That looks tidy !

Very nice

Hello Paul Not yet mate, need to get a throttle cable from John Cruse
