Sten what a cracking collection 1980's is 30 years ago, and when will you see another collection like that ?? Take 'em to a show !!

Photos from yesterday, been busy with the varnish...

Amongst the autojumble stalls at the Tinkers Park Steam Rally I found this All working with long cable, £5, its a Little Wonder hedge trimmer made in the USA and imported over here, it will look good on the 240volt Conyers generating set...

Popped up to my local rally at Tinkers Park, Hadlow Down, this morning Here's a few photos of what was there...

Never mind lads at least there's a few that get to rallies !!

Nor surprised you are smiling Darren, they look superb, a credit to you

What bits have you got Chris ??

Great stuff, I think we will meet the deadline !!

I have only got the three now, plus any project ones that turn up !!

Varnish will go on the wood, just the new hubs, spare wheel and carrier and a number plate to fit and then I will have a space in my garden again !! Oh and the reflectors on the tailboard, I'll do that job tomorrow

That's really nice and something different, good find

At the weekend I received a phone call from a gent down on the South Coast at Goring by sea, he had read one of my articles in Tractor and Machinery and knew of my collection of Tarpen equipment He had a Tarpen shaft drive chainsaw, tube of grease and a drive unit for a Monro Tiller, they were mine for free if I could collect them. Collect them we duly did this evening, photos below. It does show that there are still some nice folk out there...

Tailboard on this evening, wheel loosely in place on the old hub just to get the trailer up in the air...

Will take a photo tomorrow and post on here, no problem !!

I'm surprised Mr Hall wants that, its not Victorian !!

Actually I hadn't asked... , good spot Mr D Ben, is that the one that was on you know where ??

I'm with Stormin on this one, hang fire until a suitable motor appears... it will just be patient !! Your mower looks great by the way...

Many happy returns Titch, hope you had a great day mate :thumbs:

Weather still horrible this evening plus other jobs to do (Technical Dept has plumbed in new laptop, she's a good girl) Only job this evening on the trailer was bolting on the jockey wheel...

Its not big enough for a lawnmower race !!

Put your running shoes on mate, that will take some running after !!

Its getting there Chris, hopefully will do the job for Mr D...

I've got a complete one of those amongst my collection, I'm sure someone will give it a home Ben

Not very extreme lawn edging more like !!

You had best keep it Nigel, I know you like a good windup !!
