Before the Smallholders Show I had been offered a smaller version of the above (12"Gardener model, see brochure above) , this was duly delivered on the Saturday of the show. I've been cleaning it up and laying some paint on it today, it looks a bit tidier and will compliment the other one , its about the same age so early 90's

That is the plan mate

Yep

Tow hitch on, job done !!

Best way Kev...

No coz then it would be all bent like your plough Norm

Congratulations Matt

I'll probably change the theme for next years show but it was good to get all the cubs in Sussex together

Looks like you did the important ones first Kev

Cub Cadet implements were black and white Norm, not yellow... Not that I am trying to pass this off as a genuine IH implement...

Nice find Matt Should be white I reckon

Got my paperwork today, cheers Kev

That will leave me with one more unit to do up, then my collection will be at 4 with most of the offered attachments, just need the spray pump and the soil sieve.

Finished off the black on the discs and added some end caps and a cheeky IH decal or two !! Just the tow hitch to add and its ready to go

Alan I would love to give the Sears/Roper a home but unless someone wants to give my Raider 10 a home I don't have room !! (or the money)

If you and Nigel got hold of it Ian it would have a big engine and be called Queasymow !!

Got some disc painting done this afternoon with top coat, painted the pins and the weights as well while I was at it

Here's one of the Jobber fleet which will be joining Mr Castles collection in deepest Kent next weekend...

Nice find, well done

Ahh the joys of parenthood !! Don't worry Chris you can't do them all

As I was on holiday, I blagged a lift with Mr Showman to deepest Surrey today to have a look at what was left at Johns, and to meet up with him and Alan again for a chinwag and drinking tea (as you do). Chris and I made the re-finding and dragging out of its resting place of a British Anzani Easimow our first job, after hacking down the brambles to get to it we dragged it out, getting ripped to bits in the process !! Chris then fitted a couple of tyres for Alans latest project, and we had another look about at the Marinas and the other bits and bobs that are left, including some mowers... Lastly Alan fired up his Sears/Roper and we had a go round the garden on it, then drank some more tea... A good day, thanks to Chris, John and Alan, here's some photos...

Thanks Alan, its not quite there yet but ongoing, the bonnet only went back on a couple of days before the show !!
