A good turnout at the Lavender Line at Isfield station today, 24 machines and about a dozen exhibitors with a wide range of machinery.
 
Many Thanks to everyone who made the effort to attend, be you local to the venue or a long distance traveller, your support is much appreciated
 
Here's some photos...
 
 

And here's the Champ generating set donated to the collection at Isfield yesterday, it just needs the pull cord on the cowling sorted out...

Yes Norm it was a good day
 
Here's some more photos...
 
 

Hi all,
I got one of the atoms out for a play and hooked up the plough

It actually performs really well and has lots of adjustment so you can get the best finish, I'm still learning about the art of ploughing but im getting there.
I also picked up a front weight bracket and two front weights as well as a set of spade lugs which I am very happy about.



Little and large!

Hi all here is a few more pics of the build

When I went out to the shed this morning I found out what the two clips do, they hold the grown-wheel and planet gears in, as I had a drain bucket full of parts
next move was to remove the tranny (didn't have room to tip the tractor upside down) and after a lot of head scratching I got all the parts back in and refitted the sump.
on moving the axle back under the tractor the nearside driveshaft slid out  so stripped it down again and one of the locking clips wasn't rite in.
now its back in the tractor, just have to fill it with oil and see if it works

Only the one photo today but the shack stripping is getting serious now.. Lathe dismantled and ready to be moved, and 2 benches dismantled one of which the compressor was hidden under.. I'd forgotten how big it is
 
The shack has a viewing booked in for tomorrow afternoon, and just had a call from a chap who thought it was a small shed and wanted to take it to Orkney!!!
 

Thanks James, it's looking like everything is coming together quite well
 
 
 
 
Yes it could well in interesting to see what comes out of both workshops
 
 
Well, a bit of a sad day in more ways than one...
 
Down came all the decorations that shacks collect over the years.. It feels strange in there without this lot fixed on the walls.. They all hold good memories for me and will be going up in the new workshop along with some bigger stuff that I will once again have wall space for
 

 

 

 
And of course....
 

 
 
More stuff boxed up ready to go, even more "shack boxes" stashed in the house!
 

 
Even under the big bench has been mostly cleared out and boxed up!
 

 
 
Now you may of noticed in the above photo's a big red something is missing..
 
Yes the 6x6 went off to it's new home today, here it is all loaded up with it's new owner Mark...
 

 
 
I am of course very sad to see it go, but I am happy that it has gone to such a good home.. To say that Mark is over the moon about is an understatement to say the least.. Yes he has been told about MOM and RS and promises to keep me updated on how he is getting on with it

and some more

Had a big move round today and got HypoHorse out of the shed into the sunshine, here's a few pickys

If we've done my dad's DOT, might as well add my brothers DMW

Don't be confused and don't panic
 
The new home has a garden, just no where near big enough to move my workshack into....
But I do have a new workshop sorted.. It's just not in my garden..
No way am I "getting out of the fun playing hobby", there will just be a temporary pause in projects until I'm in the new shack

Should be or could be... 

I've got one like that with a bit of paint on it...
