the showman 4,074 #1 Posted January 4, 2015 Went to a stationery engine gas-up local to me today, apart from the small engines there were a couple of big one's set up and running in the barn. In the corner was a Kinkade garden tractor that took my eye never seen one before, had two steel wheels on the front with one having a Villiers engine inside it, it had a tool frame with all the kit, plough. tines, ridger ect. there was even a couple of seeders hanging from the roof. 2 Stormin and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom 215 #3 Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Cool pictures Chris! That Kinkade garden tractor is very unusual but quite cool. I think I've seen one online somewhere before, if I remember correctly they were manufactured around 1929 ish. Tom Edited January 4, 2015 by Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauber1 51 #4 Posted January 4, 2015 pretty cool to see one of them over there. The outer wheel is a dummy used to keep the machine upright when the plow is used. Other wise it would run just on the wheel with an engine in it. 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is also quite a few steam shows , Just to wet your whistle too , there is a Harley Davidson dealer in the town that is worth a visit On May 1 there is a Harley show http://bridgwaterhog.co.uk/en/pages/default.aspx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauber1 51 #10 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) I haven't Norm, never seen one before, Jeff might know Don't know Neil, but looking forward to Newby Hall, I would like to come down your way, any surgestions Normally we would use the orginal engine to help id the yr, but in the states no one has a Villiers engine. It should have had a Briggs on it here, and would guess it to be from the 1925 to 30 era. I did a little digging on this later, and found that some of the Kinkade model L's were built in the UK under permit during WWII. So this one might be a little newer than I thought and explain the Villiers engine it has. Edited January 6, 2015 by Lauber1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
