Yellow and White !

Hello and

That's a bit different David, was that in the UK ?

Two pages an issue Neil, sometimes worthy of interest No mate, don't need to !

Bought the latest issue of Tractor and Machinery today The horticultural section got a good write up...

Last few photos...

A trip to Ardingly this morning to have a look at what was on offer and drink tea with Mr Showman... Chris saw two Kohler engines but they were still attached to Howard 350 rotavators, one made £120 the other £170. I bought nowt. (apart from lots of tea and a breakfast roll)

That's unlucky...

June 10th and 11th Neil

Commando 8, Lawn Ranger, R26

Boxed up and at the storage unit until they are next needed...

Better photos now its out of the trailer, had its engine refitted (easy when you work it out ) and a new (to the tractor) gear knob fitted...

Tanks back on, bit more fettling to do and they will be ready for Newbury show...

No bucket on that one Norm

Another one saved !!

Not bad for Halfords rattle cans

Painting the tanks this evening...

That's nice, I like that

Looking good mate

Yes mate it would, the mower's not self propelled so its engine would drive the blades while the Loafer pushes it along

Yes there was Gareth, owned by the chap I bought this one from

Yes mate, quite chuffed

No Harry that's the next bit to find, I know what it looks like though... its the one at the top of the photo (from a 1962 spares manual)

New addition to the collection from deepest Norfolk 1965 Lawn Boy Loafer, can either be used as a ride on tractor or with the front axle removed will attach to a Lawn Boy mower, so it can be a mower pusher Apparently only 6 of these were imported to the UK. The previous owner has a restored one and works for E.P. Barrus who are modern day Lawn Boy importers and he has researched its history Apologies for the poor photos, but it has been raining all day, I'll get it out of the trailer and get some better photos when the weather improves

I had a couple of them, 5hp and 8hp, they were fun!
