pmackellow 2,738 #1 Posted May 1, 2016 This old roller had been parked in our garden for a few years, we used it with a mates Allis Simplicity ride on mower to level the ground for the aviary bird pens when we moved in to the house in 2004. Since then it has sat in the garden a bit unloved so with the increased interest in working/playing events and the need to have something to put behind the Cub Cadets I asked Mr Showman nicely if he could modify it for me, add a tow bar and remove the unwanted parts of the frame. Today we popped down to see Chris with the roller and he kindly fired up the saw and the welder and did the modifications. It was then transported back home and painted, as a tribute and a thank you to Mr Showman there was only one colour it could be... 8 nigel, ranger, the showman and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #18 Posted May 2, 2016 I like the wheels on the swill bin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,738 #19 Posted May 2, 2016 Got the swill cart off a mate many moons ago, it had the wrong wheels with tyres on and the tyres were knackered. Saw these wheels in an autojumble stall a few years ago and took a chance that they would fit the cart, luckily they do !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
