			Hubs and other bits fitted today, happy (I hope) owner collected it this evening... 
  
You'll be ok for the Stone Cross Rally now Steve
		
	
		
			
			
			
				
					
					 	
	
		
			Buy Chris a Desperado at Newby Hall Mark, he'll probably tell you !!!
		
	
		
			
			
			
				
					
					 	
	
		
			About that era I think, or possibly into the 70's
		
	
		
			
			
			
				
					
					 	
	
		
			Hope he's offering a session with an osteopath to go with them !!
		
	
	
		
			
			
			
				
					
					 	
	
		
			The green machine is a Crawley 75 
  
  
It did look a bit of a bitsa
		
	
	
		
			
			
			
				
					
					 	
	
		
			...other than making it into a banger racer  
  
Seen this morning at the Tinkers Park Steam Rally...
		
	
		
			
			
			
				
					
					 	
	
		
			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 ??
