Hello Ben and Looking forward to seeing photos of your machines

Great set of photos mate,you obviously took more than I did !!

Here's some more photos...

Replaced the handlegrip and got brave yesterday,plugged the beast in and switched it on... it runs !!! Cuts the lawn quite well...

Has anyone got any of the CGA annuals ?? I have got the ones from 1952,1964,1965,1966 and 1968

Yes I thought I had better include that photo for Mr Sanders...

Well done Ian

Looking great Darren, top job

Whilst perusing the autojumble at the Cuckoo Fayre at Laughton today I acquired this ATCO lawn edger for a nominal sum... On the same stall was a hessian sack carrying the advertising of the Country Gentlemans Association (CGA), they used to publish an annual book of equipment of all shapes and size including lots of horticultural machinery... I think these sacks make a good base or backdrop to a display so this one was also purchased

Popped along to the first day of the Cuckoo Fayre at Laughton, near Lewes, this morning, here's some photos of what was there...

At least you broke it, not him...

Good work mate, I see the hood for the new project has arrived then ! Did you realise that if you abbreviate Project Zero Ish Turn it comes out as Project ZIT ?? Hmmmm !!! I'm sure it won't be a blemish of any kind if done to your usual standard...

Cracking job Paul, that looks very smart, well done

Hi there and welcome to the forum Glad to hear someone else has got one of these machines, the wiring at the handlebar end on mine has got a bit warm at some stage in its life so I will be investigating that a bit further before I get brave and plug it in to try it !! I can't make out the rest of the decal, I googled Ladybird mower and found some references on an Australian site, apparently they were made by a company called Metalair Ltd in the late 1940's and early fifties Paul

Thats true...

Hi Sten,I've got a collection of Landmasters as you know, but not an L150 I'm afraid, sorry !!

I'll take you upon the offer of the plug please Jim, a spare would always be handy

Here you are...

I'll get the cover off somewhen and post a photo or two...

Hello Jim, yes it was a good day and judging by the comments on the facebook page everyone seemed to have gone away happy - thats the mark of a successful event Can't think why nobody wanted to drive the Trusty... We'll see you at Twyford Waterworks on August 3rd...

No, sorry are they upsetting you Norm ?? I rather like them

Heres some more photos of the event...

Here's the ladybird in its new home...

Damn nigh killed everyone else as well !! Big up to you for having a go though Steve

As you say Chris, for £85 it's not worth faffing about, I thought a new one would be a bit more £££ than that...
