I can think of a few candidates !!

No mate, we don't want to follow the herd !!

Deck adjuster in better condition arrived today...

I would reckon you are right there Ian, it must have been an exciting day when a shiny new tractor turned up !!

Colwood display planned for Smallholders Show 2015, I think between us we can put on quite a layout...

Another small collection I have is of these battery charging sets, made by the firm of W.E. Conyers Ltd in a village named Trawden during the 1960's These sets were available with either JAP 34cc two stroke engines or a small BSA four stroke unit fitted. At the present time I own two JAP powered sets and one BSA set, plus a 240 volt generating set with an Aspera engine also produced by Conyers...

Hopefully vegi-junior and steve d will put some photos of their Colwoods on here as well soon...

This brochure turned up today its rather nice...

Hello Neil, no its the 34cc two stroke engine in these units.

Cooper Stewart who were famous for their bicycle speedometers and sheep shearing equipment also made a small engine driven shaft drive set that could be used to power a set of hedge clippers I have three of these sets, two with JAP engines and one with a BSA engine, here's the JAP engined sets at Ardingly in July, at the Smallholders Show display...

Dashwood Engineering produced a wide array of horticultural machinery under the Colwood banner The first cultivator was the Model A which first appeared in 1945 with a JAP 2A engine, later models were the model B with JAP or Villiers power, also the model RA with a Villiers engine... Here's some photos... Firstly my first Colwood,a model RA with rotor box, cutter bar and trailer... then a lineup of Colwood machines at the Tugwell Park display at Eastbourne and my second Colwood, a model B2 bought at the Ringmer Show at the end of July...

Not thought about asking him then??

:D

Great minds think alike Norm...

Love your display Chris, did you bring the Tardis with you ??

Great photos Nigel, I see Noddy got a good workout again then

What's the new project then Nigel ??

Does anyone locally to you rent out old shipping containers ?? That might work out as a cost effective option...

Sounds OK, well done James !!

Good work Mark, nice job

No chance of buying it back then Chris ??
