Great photos Dave

Held today at the South Downs Heritage Centre, Horsham Historics (a local preservation group) held their Winter Get together.

A few photos including a couple of exhibits in the actual Heritage Centre itself...

Good find Dave, thats a bit unusual

I do have a photocopied brochure for one of those, you are welcome to a copy mate

Your O&R display looks very nice in the new shed, I keep meaning to build one myself as I'm running out of space, but never seem to get round to it.

Thanks David

I put the "bitsa" engine as far together as I could on Friday and thats there now, plus a Turbair related box of chemical (empty) plus another Tarpen mini engine advert...

Relevant literature now in place by the O&R shelves...

I have a Mark 4 thats got a Tecumseh 4 stroke in it...

After moving all the Wheelhorse related signage out of the first shed (now the yellow and white shed) I thought I had better tidy it up and add some replacement bits and bobs...

I thought the sign in the first photo quite appropriate

The pictures were a joy to see, thanks so much for sharing. What's the story with the Uni-Horse 6 8, is that a Wheel Horse?

No thats a tractor built in Birmingham in the UK in the late 1960's

The Commmando 8 looks good

Yes mate I thought someone had pinched mine for a moment lol

Great photos Dave

Home now from the last show for us for 2018,

We took some Ransomes machines to support our mates running the themed Horticultural section and a couple of machines

for the VHGMC stand

The themed display is for Wheelhorse next year so perhaps some of you may be tempted ? 

We will hopefully be taking 3...

Here's some photos from the 2018 show...

  I think the tractor needs some TLC now, to match the seat cover.

All in good time mate

Could be Paul !!

I think i am correct in saying you already have one of these, so it's good to share

The book mentions a separate  manual for the 75 engine, that would be a nice to have.

Absolutely, it is indeed good to share

I have not seen the engine manual yet but you never know...

Found the Suburbans new seat cover whilst looking for something else (as you do)

Thought I had better fit it on, and transfer a few more Wheelhorse bits and bobs from the bottom shed...

If that was the one on ebay you outbid me then

Glad to see its gone to a good home

What's the machine in the last photo outside the door?

Thats an amazing device Norm, it picks all the rubbish up off your carpet

Believe its called a Hoover or something like that

Recently had a new shed built at the top of the garden, this gave me the opportunity to put some of the O&R collection on permanent display rather than hiding away in boxes...

Quiet afternoons pottering about today...

Changed the Lawn Ranger and the Suburban round (they look better that way round) and moved some of the Wheelhorse goodies up from the original Wheelhorse shed (which is now the Yellow and White shed - Cub Cadet and Mowett Mustang)

Just now, Alan said:

Just needs an armchair in there Paul, then you can sit in comfort while viewing your handiwork.  And before Chris says it, don't forget the kettle.

Armchair and kettle will be for the workshop Alan !

You have done a great job Paul, it looks really good. I hope that ply shelf was cut to the correct length

Spot on mate, thanks again

Few more photos...

Last three Wheelhorses back home today, shed is finished ! (almost )

Thats rather nice Ewan

Good find mate

More Ohlsson Rice powered machines and Jobbers back from storage this evening...

Tractors back over the weekend

Shelves now all in place and carpeted...

Busy bunny this evening, raised platform installed and screwed into place, also shelves each side of the shed, one more smaller shelf to go up tomorrow above the one on the left hand side (as you look through the door)... it's getting there !
